New forum Needed

[fairmorn308]

Who else agrees we need a new forum one more up todate.

We need a forum that when you post a reply within a thread it jumps back to the top as if the topic isnt on the 1st page with this forum there is no point replying to anything.

I vote for a new forum layout

Not sure of the work involved in these changes. Don't forget the guys at GM are mainly interested in getting a mag out each month. I'm happy with it as is for the moment

Its not hard to change everything over tho but it does need a serious makeover which would attract more people to this place

If you go into user options, near the top left. Then go into display preferences EDIT. Then go near the bottom of the page and click on “sort threads by” and click last post date. Then the last post will go to the top.

Why don't you just sort threads by last post - instead of inciting revolution!

 

[viscount17]

possibly the only change needed is to default to sort by last post. otherwise leave well alone

The only gripe I have is the adverts down the side, otherwise I like the forum the way it is.

Sick to death of the slow response,it is becoming more and more frequent lately.

 

[HTL]

Agree with you Nico sometimes I cant get into the lounge. Its so slow most evenings. Anyone else got this problem?

 

[medwayjon]

Same problem here, sometimes very slow indeed.

 

[andycap]

Same for me ,i've just upgraded to orange wireless with a faster connection speed , but it's no better!

 

[OldWindy]

Don't think the server they run this on is up to much; could be it's doing other stuff at the same time making it even slower. Bet it's a Celeron.

 

[Nico]

That is no excuse though. These days processing power is cheap and abundant,if the happiness of the Forum users is important to GM they could adress it without too much bother. If the problem lies deeper then I can understand their reluctance to sort it.

I have my settings to send the most recent replies to the top. Much better!

As for the speed.....it's very slow a.t.m. nothing to do with 'net connection.....I'm on 8 mb running consistently at 6.5 mb......still slow! The server at GMs end I guess.

 

[Junior]

always works fine for me & my mac book, have to say i would not change anything !

 

[TonyN]

me too, no problems. Speed is always good for me, at home with broadband, or when am usin me mobile as a modem!

Wouldn't change anythin with regard to layout, admins wouldn't go a miss!

I like it the way it is, uncluttered and simple to use. And there's only 6 and a half months until the wee cake picture appears beside my user name on my birthday. Can't wait for that, I am trembling with antici-

 

[SS2]

-pation !

 

[Basher]

I've found the forum to be quite slow recently.

Yeah, it is annoying at times, but then again, it's a free forum. It's not like we subscribe to it.
I do wish it was a bit quicker though!

 

[viscount17]

there are times when it just hangs, which I had always put down to the net connection at my end. possibly not if so many experience it - unless we're all using the same provider? Mine's Virgin
