This is fun, isn't it? Never had this trouble with the old site. But having finally got the quote from benjamin1945 that I wanted, my response to what he said is: Yes - to an extent, but I'm going to stick with it despite wondering whether some people may be drifting away. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yes,, and it's difficult to put into words. As I said in #93 and #96, the thing which irritates me is the software concentration on Posts rather than Threads. It takes longer to catch up with everything that's happened since the last visit. And things drop down the list of "recent activity" much faster than they used to. I get the feeling that anything I post will disappear from people's attention much more quickly than previously. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sue B 48 1,226 Posted August 24, 2016 Report Share Posted August 24, 2016 #102 That's the thing which irritates me Kev but I have got on with most of the other things better than I thought I would. At first it was like some one had stolen my comfy pair of slippers and then I realised they were only comfortable after I had worn them for a while. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Well, as I've said elsewhere I go to 'Unread Content' first to see if anything's new rather than look through everything under 'All Activity'. The only drawback is that if you look at anything under 'Unread Content' and then want to go back to it you obviously can't find it again the same way as it's no longer Unread!

Jill Sparrow 10,267 Posted August 24, 2016 Report Share Posted August 24, 2016 #100 Can't say that I do, Ben. It's different but I prefer it. There seems to be so much more to delve into and it also seems a more logical layout. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jill Sparrow 10,267 Posted August 24, 2016 Report Share Posted August 24, 2016 #106 Oh, Ben! Anyone who calls me a young whippersnapper goes straight to the top of my list of favourites! Never mind the fact that when I get up in the morning, I have to hobble until my feet wake up! And before you ask! No, its not the Shiraz! The only thing I'm too young for these days is retirement! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
loppylugs 8,424 Posted August 24, 2016 Report Share Posted August 24, 2016 I'm with Cliff on this one. I don't want to come across as a complainer because that's not my nature and I have always enjoyed NS. I find the focus on posts rather than threads harder to follow. It was so easy to just log on and see if anything new was on a thread I was interested in. It is hard to define but I don't think I log on with quite the sense of anticipation that I used to. I sense I may be missing some good posts because things just disappear so quickly now. Just keep plugging along I guess. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
benjamin1945 16,118 Posted August 24, 2016 Report Share Posted August 24, 2016 Yes Loppy another good way to put it.............I concur about that certain sense of anticipation'.......tut the things we look forward to at our age hey'.....................lol. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

hippo girl 1,995 Posted August 24, 2016 Report Share Posted August 24, 2016 Well I think I have lost the plot !!!!!! Or the patience to work it all out..... No doubt we will eventually get use to the new format but like Loppy says, not as much fun or addiction as before 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

FLY2 10,108 Posted August 24, 2016 Report Share Posted August 24, 2016 Ha, ha, I'm trying to grow old disgracefully, but the reins are on. As ive stated in several topics, I'm treated like a five year old, or a ninety five year old. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DAVIDW 1,674 Posted August 25, 2016 Report Share Posted August 25, 2016 I'm still struggling with some aspects . Like in a thread message , how do you get to the previous page ? It's ok when there are just a couple of pages to choose from but when there are hundreds and the choice is 1, 2 , 3, 435. How do get to page 434 ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Enigma. 1,533 Posted August 25, 2016 Report Share Posted August 25, 2016 on each page below each thread there is two arrows pointing to the left clicking on them will take you to the very first page next to the arrow is the word prev which when clicked on will take you to the previous page after the word prev is 1 2 3 4 and 5 which is the current page we are on after the nnumber 5 is page 5 of 5 with a tiny arrow pointing down clicking on that will bring up a box so you can enter a certain page number direct and then click on the word go Quote Link to post Share on other sites
