Un-improvements

[zach]

I have to say this and the previous version of the bulletin board have both been un-improvements. Much too complicated. What was wrong with the old bulletin board? It was much easier to navigate and encouraged much more participation. This feels like we’re going backwards.

Zach, Help me out here.

I don't remember the old BB in detail.

What was it about the old BB that you preferred?

I vaguely remember, visually, the posts were in, what I would call, a Tree-view.

Is that what you're talking about?

Other than that, this forum seems straight forward in that you click on a Forum, i.e., "Discussions",
then choose the Thread you're interested in, read it and reply.

Excuse my naivete but is there more to it than that?

Reply back when you get a chance...Thx

Hi, Pony-up,
On the old bulletin board, you didn't have to register or login. You could see all the posts, yes, like a tree, and simply click on the one you wanted to reply to. This new version, as well as the bulletin board that Cartouche and others are currently using, just seems more cumbersome and requires more steps. Just my opinion. I'll get used to it, I suppose, but I really don't understand why it needed to be changed in the first place.

The old BB was no longer supported by our provider- they only had the bare bones version that replaced it.

Hi Zach,

FYI: you don't have to register or login to see posts.

Just click on a forum and then click on any of the threads and you'll see all the posts.

You will have to scroll thru the posts but that's it. You only have to login to post but viewing is always available...
