Over the years I have learned to appreciate the YYYY-MM-DD format, as I have to edit texts from all over the world, but I do not feel the need for a birthday function on this forum. trevor, in Poland Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was not suggesting that it should be used here. Trevor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trevor It's a matter of preference the desktop I'm using is set for day - month - year and this is as set from new, it's from Italy not I suspect that makes any difference as I said preference Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enigma Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 I have no problems with the new layout of the forum. Maybe because I don't use all features? It takes a little time to get used to the changes but after a few weeks it will feel as if it was allways like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BosunAl Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 The only real problem I have is that whenever I open a new post, the site goes to the first post of a thread. This requires me to go to the last post of a thread and scan down to the final post . . . which is actually the newest post. I've tried to reset the thread to post the newest post first, but darned if I can get it to work. Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you click on the posted time part from the New Posts page (i.e. 6 Hours ago) it takes you to that particular post rather than the beginning of the thread.

ferretfixer Posted March 20, 2018 Author Share Posted March 20, 2018 Well, I thought it might be 'Interesting' (Or not to some!) to follow up on my thoughts. On the 'New' Forum layout. I still do not like it as much as the old Forum appearance. I used to visit the old site daily. I now haven't bothered to come on here again for Months. I still feel it has 'Lost' something.....:( Sorry if any Admin are 'Upset' by my comments. I did not intend that at all. To Me, it just doesn't seem as nice as the orig layout. But that is just Me. However, I am at least being honest about it. That is MY Personal Feeling about it. There may well be others who feel similarly? I am grateful however, that at least some of you admin chaps. Have actually bothered & made an Effort in introducing this new layout. To at least keep the forum going! I TOTALLY support That! Small Potato's I know. but I took the time to at least follow up on my very first Post on This Topic. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think, that the contents of the posts on the forum are more important than the layout, a fantastic forum with all the whistles & bells and easy to use is useless, if no one is posting on it.

BosunAl Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 Agree with MatchFuzee . . . now that I've gotten used to it, I have no trouble finding what I want. Bosun Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Topdog Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 Still cannot get used to it. Sorry. I only visit once a week max instead of every day. Out of interest, what are the traffic numbers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teletech Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 I didn't get used to it, just wandered off. I haven't visited in months. The only reason I'm here now is the new post in thread notification. I might come back some day, but I've enough annoyances without a recreational forum having high friction for me.
