Surely the new design's not that hard to find your way around :Erm: I can't believe how quiet the place has gone since the upgrade. Or maybe you're all too busy trying to get in your local polling stations :icon_lol:

Hope to see you soon :)

It hasn't gone quiet!! Same number of daily visitors, and that'll start to increase over the coming weeks/months as the new SEO kicks in. If you mean post count, that counted different than the other one, but I've corrected that now.

Just seems like a lack of new threads, seems mostly articles :Erm:

That's cos me and the mods haven't started any completely useless ones the last few days as we're all very busy :Sex:

MY BIGGEST *gripe [if it could be called *that] is how long it seems to take for SOME posts to filter through. :cwm24: Frustratingly, I tried and tried - in vain - to send one in the early hours of this morning, and have discovered it has since appeared ... in duplicate!! See thread on 'Ed Balls'.

Is it the chat box that's causing this, I wonder? :rolleyes:

Postscript: Now, I notice the word 'is' appears TWICE in my first sentence ... when I typed it only once! :crazy:

Nothing to do with this site, I was doing some heavy processing on the forum to stabilize a few GB's of databases. Should all be quicker now.

Well, yeah, half the regular regulars are in Pinas gallivanting, some others I know of are in Vegas for a well deserved break... :rolleyes: and the others have to work for a living and some of us are up to their eyeballs dealing with car insurance claims and such like...:doh

I have not enjoyed the forum since the changeover :NoNo:
I hope it improves and stabilises in the future.

Its not that bad!! :xxgrinning--00xx3:
Can you put a link to where you describe how to fill the page with the forum? I dont like everything squeezed into the middle like this..
The major difference to me is the fact that there is no quick link to recent posts..Well there is but does not include posts Ive just read or replied to..
That aside,Im getting used to the new format.

Probably missing the obvious - but how do I give rep?

Already have numerous times. Change the Style bottom right, or set it in your UserCP.

They work the same as the old system. Uread Posts, Todays posts, and Advanced Search, all list whatever you want.

Keith, in the past there was a gap showing where the recent posts ended.
I have not seen this recently, or have I gone blind :yikes:
