New Forum Questions
Longshot
Posts: 940
I would be interested to know:
1. What was the reason(s) for changing the forum? I presume it wasn't done for the sake of it so there must have been some issues with the old one or perceived benefits to changing.
2. Has the new forum met its expectations/achieved the desired outcome?
3. Has the reaction of the forum users been better or worse than expected?

You can fool some of the people all of the time. Concentrate on those people.

1)we had a lot of gateway timeouts on the previous version.
2)No idea - it took a bit of getting used to - there seems to be a bit more distinction between threads - but it could be better - I suppress advertising urls, so I get a lot of white space eitherside of the main body - I've seen screenshots of a non-blocked browser which looks hideous....
3)Change will always bring about complaints - I suspect they're doing the usual "ignore most of the complaints and it'll go away" method - which, tbf - is fair enough - the forum is an expense and I doubt they recover the running cost from the advertising revenue - even less likely if they overload it, leading to many of us using ad-blocking methods - so what's the incentive to improve it beyond what they've already done?
I can't imagine that the other Immediate Media forums look as bad as this.

Not sure where to put some parts I have for sale.
Many thanks.
