Old version of the forum

[DavidMore]

Can we please have the old version of the forum back? Who else liked the old version better?

May I ask what about the old forum you like better than the new one?

It was so easy , so simple. The new version is not easy

[DavidMore]

I think that sometimes it’s not really good when it’s not really easy

Click on M4M NextGen at the bottom of the page, next to Terms and rules. Then chose default style. This should take you back to the old format.

What is not easy? Everything is the same, just looks more contemporaneous.

[+ nycman]

I’m not a huge fan either, but maybe it’s just adjusting to something new.

Everything in life moves forward. Progress is the backbone of growth and success.

 

Default or M4M seems to be a more traditional layout than the NextGen design.

What significant difference do you see? Everything is mostly the same, just a different look. I think the major changes are still in the oven, like the new system of penalty points and warnings.

Am I missing something?

We should embrace the change & be thankful the upgrade didn't ruin the forums like it's happened @ other sites... it only made things better, more up-to-date... the site used to feel hella outdated before.

Having managed large IT systems, you cannot stay on outdated and thus unsupported versions of products.

 

Operating systems, data base systems, hardware and software are all interdependent.

 

You must constantly be upgrading and stay current or you run the risk of platform instability.

 

At IBM it was called RAS. Reliability, Availability and Serviceability.

 

Daddy is to be commended for his IT expertise.

Not to talk about our brains. Changing is good.

I’m fine with the new..it’s so close to The Same? No?

So how does this new stuff work? If I click on "like", I think that is it. But in the new world, do I have to pick an emoji, because I just clicked on like, and happened to hover on the emoji, and it said angry. I'm so confused. Did I say I liked it (I did), or did I say I was angry at what was posted (not)? I think I'm going to just read for a while until I can figure out what's going on.

If you are missing something then I am, too. I really don’t understand what is so drastically different.

The first emoji (i.e. the left-most in the row) is a thumbs-up. My first thought upon seeing it was “Oh, clicking on the thumbs-up means I like the post.” Sure enough, it was!

[Guy Fawkes]

Hover over the emoji and you'll get a ballon that say what it is.

[AshburyGuy]

I'm fine with the new format. My only critique is that the blue on white is a little harder to read (for these old eyes), especially when scanning quickly over the "New Posts" list.

[+ Oliver]

I "like" that there are more choices in the "like" fields - more than just like or not.

[+ ArVaGuy]

I like the new version a lot.

 

The only issue I’ve had is logging out on my iPhone.

Just tap on your avatar on top of the screen, the traditional menu pop up with the log out option at the bottom.

I am not at all technologically savvy. I am one of those who disdain people (particularly younger people) who show how a function works and tell you how "intuitive" it is. But I kind of like the brightness of the new version. Maybe it is the near newness of the whole thing but I know that even I can probably learn it. The one teeny thing I would like (and I mentioned it elsewhere) is I would like a "tongue out" emoji. For me that signifies (particularly in the Gallery section) that I want to lick/rim/ravage the body in the pick as opposed to a mere "Like" or "Applause" emoji. There are times on the other hand that I like a pic as a photograph and not necessarily for some sexual stirring it illicits. So, I would ask that the tongue emoji be added.

It's there, right next to the sunglasses one.

or ? ? from my iPad emojis

[+ bashful]

May just be my laptop, or that I use Chrome, but when I hover the arrow over "Like", a bar about 3 inches wide appears below. In the very far right side of the bar, there's an emoji (the only one that appears). When I hover the arrow over it, a small blue box appears just above that I says "Angry". No other emojis appear in the bar, but I just happened to move the arrow to the left after hovering over "Angry", and small blue boxes appear as if the denote the blank space has other emojis, and what the absent emojis mean. Moving to the left from "Angry", is "Insulting", "Dislike", "Sad", "Meh", "Ad Hominem", "Verbose", "Applause", "Happy", and "Like". But, as I said, there is no actual emoji that appears within the bar other than the "Angry" emoji.

 

Just thought I let you all know in case others are not seeing things that are being discussed, such as tongues, and sunglasses.
