Forum Update - Test it out

[MossRoad]

I hate it when web people get bored and feel they need to change everything just for change. Nothing is faster or better, it just sucks. And don't get me wrong, I'm not adverse to change but this update is a huge step backwards.

And what is extra aggravating is now I don't have the option of viewing this in the old format. Whenever I log on I get thrown into this new mess and clearing my cache and restarting does nothing. I used to get on TBN because it was fun and informative but now it's a mess and just ticks me off.

I was going to log off but I can't find that feature.

As mentioned, go back to Muhammad's earlier post and there is a link to click to go back to the old look. It works. I've done it a couple times. :thumbsup:

I agree.

An odd situation I occasionally have is when replying I have to type verrrrryyyyyy slowly. If I go faster than one letter every couple seconds it will skip them and only enter every 4th or 5th letter. I usually hit the "back" arrow and start over with the reply and it is okay then. I figure that's something going on in my computer, not TBN.

I think that may be a spell checker issue in your browser. It gets bogged down. I sometimes get the same thing.

Count me as another one that likes to automatically go to the last read post. Why would I want to go to the first post when I've already been there?

Ditto. It's easier to click on the thread title than the tiny, little icon to the left of the thread title.

Using IE? Turn on the "compatibility mode" option to fix your problem.

I think I can train myself to click on the little button but 99% of the time want to go to first unread post. Why not switch the functions, make the title for going to first unread and make the little button for going to the start.

Excuse me for my ignorance Moss. Is that something I have control of?? Probably not.....

I went into the Tool icon, opened compatibility settings and added TBN. Hopefully that's what you were suggesting. I'll report the results. Thank you very much Kenny.

One thing that I use a lot is the "My Profile" link at the top off the page. It is not on the update.

Here is what I use from the current version, after clicking "My Profile"
