New look

[Jill Sparrow 8,516]

Finding the three dots was simple enough and, yes, desktop view was there with a tick box. It makes no difference. Still can't see PMs or notifications.

 

Desktop view changes nowt!

The three dots are here - to the right of the number 1 in a box.   Click on the dots and you'll get a load of options; you may have to scroll down to find the one named Desktop.

Nothing changes at all ?   I get what I see on my iMac, albeit very small. 

[Jill Sparrow 8,516]

Nothing at all. Doesn't matter. I can still post. Just can't read PMs.

I haven’t got the 3 dots as I have nothing above the blue banner. I can still post, give likes and navigate round the site although it does involve quite a few steps. Sometimes have to close site and reopen to get to Days posts. 
Might charge up my old laptop to see if that is any better Although I prefer to use my iPad.

Yet another SNAFU upgrade. I guess these guys do not do any quality control testing before they release an upgrade.

I use the right side scroll bar to go right to the bottom of the listings as as the "unread content " icon works there unlike the one at the top of the page. What is the go with the "history"bar down the side of the posts? totally irrelevant. 

As is usual the search function remains about as much use as a chocolate firescreen

When I first saw the information about the three black dots, I thought the developers were right after all - and we were the idiots.

 

Now we get evidence that the three dots don't solve all the problems, and it really is true that the developers hadn't checked everything before releasing it to the world at large.

Who are these "developers"? Can the format not be reverted to it's  former style. I always thought it were run by Nottingham folk.

I think it’s a generic system that subscribers can buy into.

Don't know if this helps anybody, but I just fired up my i.pad and noticed that if I hold it in landscape position, the page displays normally, but in portrait, many options are not visible.

[Beekay 2,874]

On my Galaxy8, the line right at the top, above the nottstalgia logo, there an info line telling what your on and in the right hand top corner there is no page icon, then the 'share' symbol then the three dots.

The only trouble is once closed, when I   re open I have to click on desk top sight every time. It won't stay on that screen.

It's  where the crude red circle is LL.

Just turned my iPad to landscape and everything has appeared. Thanks

[radfordred 5,439]

Just keep turning it over & over until you find the side with the glass screen

G'mornin' ya'll

 

Finally got on the laptop.  The whole header of NS is only half there.  Probably why I can't find the three dots.

 

More positive notes.  I am reading this without glasses!   Had my second cataract surgery on Monday a.m.  The difference is amazing.  Everything is much clearer and brighter.  Colours look like new.  Gotta use drops for the next couple of weeks and see my own eye doctor on Monday for followup, but I can live with that.

If your eye doctor ever recommends this surgery don't hesitate.  It works great and is less uncomfortable than a visit to the dentist.  My appointment was at 6:30 a.m and I was home by 9:30 a.m.  Wish I'd had it done a couple of years ago.

Anyway, hope I will soon be able to post from my Ipad again.  Don't use it much now except to post to NS.

[Beekay 2,874]

Good news Loppy ! Glad to hear your sights improved. Hope your glasses can stay in your pocket now. Maybe it's  a sign for a better year for you. Take care mate. B.

[Jill Sparrow 8,516]

You'll be able to see your way to a nice juicy bone for the boys!

[philmayfield 4,340]

Very good news Loppy!

[loppylugs 8,167]

I can see where that wascally wabbit's hiding.  He's done for now. 

[benjamin1945 13,876]

Nice one Loppy   pleased for you Mate.............

[loppylugs 8,167]

Gonna have a go at playing the organ this afternoon.  I should be able to read the music better now.   Just hope my right hand and foot will cooperate.

Mr. Bach probably doesn't like what I've been doing to his music the last few weeks.

[Jill Sparrow 8,516]

At the close of his time here, Mr Bach would have liked to see as well as you now do!

[IAN FINN 261]

Exellent loppy you will be able to see five miles through a three mile fog hope the organ cooperates.

[Jill Sparrow 8,516]

Someone has just sent me a personal message. I suspect it's susannahanorak. Since the new format has been instigated, I cannot access personal messages.  If you're reading this, sender, please post in the normal way as, otherwise, I can't communicate with you.

[LizzieM 8,710]

Great news Loppy, really pleased for you.

Re: the multiple problems caused by the recent update.

 

A few days ago, this new member registered on Nottstalgia. IPS is the company who are responsible for the software - and therefore the mess. I wonder if this person has been back to see what's happening, and if they've got anything to tell us about plans to fix the bits that don't work.

An hour or so ago, CT, I found myself in a strange place called an Inbox where I could read all my PMs! Never been there before. Spent the last half an hour trying to get there again  with b*gger all success.

I can send PMs by clicking on other people's little blue envelopes in their profiles. Just can't access their replies.

 

I'd tell you what I think of this upgrade but I don't use language like that!
