Blondie 1,392 Posted September 9, 2016 Report Share Posted September 9, 2016 I hate this new format, can't we go back to the old one ?...... 2 Link to post Share on other sites

BilboroughShirley 1,120 Posted September 16, 2016 Report Share Posted September 16, 2016 I am getting used to the new format. One thing that surprises me is the number of guests online. On the old version there was the list of who was online and how many members visited at the bottom of the forums list. With the new format there seem to be more guests than members. Are less members logging in and are there more guests? It is interesting to see what the guests are looking at. One other observation (not a complaint) is that the new version seems slower to load. Sorting all the problems has taken people a lot of time and hard work. I am so pleased the site is up and running again before we get withdrawal symptoms! Link to post Share on other sites
MelissaJKelly 2,120 Posted September 16, 2016 Report Share Posted September 16, 2016 I like the look of the new format but found the old one more appeasing! As posted in another thread though, I'm now unable to use the Tapatalk app to access the forum and therefore will be unable to post as much 1 Link to post Share on other sites
mick2me 3,033 Posted September 16, 2016 Report Share Posted September 16, 2016 There is no further support for the Old version, No security patches, updates or help from support technician in case of problem. I still continue to pay $$$ for support/updates every 6 months. I estimate I have spent $750 for this software. The recent hosting problems forced me to buy premium hosting costing 6 time the original amount. I dread to think how much the added web hosting costs are over the years. Then there was the matter of time spent by myself and volunteers over the years. Now any further complaints? 13 Link to post Share on other sites

Cliff Ton 10,458 Posted September 16, 2016 Report Share Posted September 16, 2016 One thing I have noticed seems to be missing.......... If you receive a "reputation" for a post, the notifications just say that "someone" has given you a reputation; it doesn't say who the person was. And if a post has received several "reputations", you can't click to find out who gave them. Was it a Plug-in which has disappeared ? Link to post Share on other sites
The Pianoman 1,532 Posted September 16, 2016 Report Share Posted September 16, 2016 If you click the black heart at the bottom right of your post a popup will appear and tell you who gave you the reputation, or a list of people if more than one. Or at least it works for me and still does. What it doesn't tell you is whether or not the reputation they are giving yopu is good or bad 1 Link to post Share on other sites
LizzieM 9,507 Posted September 16, 2016 Report Share Posted September 16, 2016 Yes you tell 'em Mick! I did find the old site a lot easier to use but we should all appreciate the price you've paid to keep hundreds of people amused and occupied. You are providing a great public service ....... I thoroughly enjoy logging onto Nottstalgia, reading and posting, even though I have a busy life away from it. I'm sure there are many Nottstalgians who rely on Nottstalgia for company. Long may it continue. 5 Link to post Share on other sites
FLY2 10,108 Posted September 16, 2016 Report Share Posted September 16, 2016 Whilst I sympathise with Mick, I must admit it's truly appalling. Hard to log in. Slow, and immensely frustrating ! Link to post Share on other sites

DaveN 1,118 Posted September 17, 2016 Report Share Posted September 17, 2016 This is the first time I've been back on the site since it went off and I've found everything O.K, I think members must appreciate that the are paying nothing to be on the site while it's costing MIck quite a lot. 5 Link to post Share on other sites
FLY2 10,108 Posted September 17, 2016 Report Share Posted September 17, 2016 Look you lot, I'm not decrying Micks tremendous efforts, I'm saying it's slow and frustrating. However, this morning, I was straight in. Maybe things are improving. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
