So long old forum
- Thread starter Doctor Doom
- Start date
I feel like I dropped into facebook. Mods...disable the 'like' feature. We're not all 'touchy-feely' over here.
Can't drop the likes. That's a feature V seemed to like. I just like this....
It truly does. I'll never use or enjoy this website the way that I used to. If they could get thread view back then it might have a chance.
I just prefer thread view over topic view. With thread view, at a glance I could see all the posts to all the threads on a page. Now I have to open up each topic and scroll down to read all the posts to see if there's anything interesting to read or respond to. It's way less efficient and just harder to use than thread view. I'd get used to walking to work too but it's easier and quicker to drive my car. As with anything, I'll deal with it.
I'm a thread view guy. It is the way I was brought up. But what are you gonna do? I'm getting exactly what I'm paying for.
In addition to what the others said, this new configuration has a lousy word to space ratio. There is so much unused white space or else space used for something other than messages. You read a message that is two lines long then you have to scroll down half a page to read the next message. It's hard for me to imagine someone putting some thought into this and then concluding that it would be desirable.
Exactly my opinion. I refuse to read certain posters any longer and I won't use the ignore feature if it is even available. I guess I am old guy that yells at kids to get off the lawn. It isn't so much the format but rather the format coupled with the conversations (trolling) that takes place on this board. My days are very numbered on the OT board on a regular basis which I know doesn't bother many people. Will still be on the Eats board and will read interesting threads on MMB even though I don't post there much.
It sure seems like those on the left probably despise the new boards and those on the right probably can live with them. At least thats my observation so far.
You can't efficiently follow conversations here without plowing through the entire thread. That feature of threadview was simple, effective, and will be sorely missed.
