[tesco samoa]

[Ruatha]

I want the old order back!!!

[Randallw]

I also vote for the old system.

Also am I the only one where it seems the site rolls a percentile and on a 1-50 declares the page unavailable. I keep having to redo the pages until it rolls above 50%.

Old order!!

Congratulations on the Forum Update,.. but Yuk! The old forum posting order makes much more sense, the 'Newer' Posts are at the top and quickly viewed. With this new system, you need to click on 'Last page' and if you're lucky all the new Posts are there, but most of the time, there are only a few Posts there and you need to click back a page (or 2) to get all the most recent Posts. I found that the only saving grace right now is the "Show All Posts" button, click it and than hit ctrl+end and jump to the bottom. (But this workaround has a big drawback,.. some of these threads take a day and a half to load due to the number of Posts.

Here's a cheap workaround that we 'Users' can start, when a thread hits 2 pages in length, start a new thread and call it "...thread #2, the thread#3 etc. the number of threads will go way up but at least we won't have to scroll or jump through wultiple pages to find the info we want.

But the best thing would be to get theses forums back to the 'RIGHT" sort order. All the other forums in the world are in the wrong order.

nuf said, Cheers!

Aack! the sigs are whacky! now to try and fix them.. must be a syntax error due to the new UBBC

Edit: Sig test results.. Well, I guess the new system does not like imbedding an image within url links. Too bad so sad. I even tried inserting html and that didn't work.

Im sorry. I thought I had already posted in most of the forums (at least in Shrapnel General so I know Im covered) that the change WAS coming, that the order was going to become an OPTION in the Users profile (one of the reasons we shelled out money for this), and that we would regain upload/download capability (dont rush us)

OK, we stopped talking about doing it carefully and trying to edit all the changes ahead of time. We went ahead and threw it at you. Some pros and cons. I must admit that I had not considered broken links. I feel for the Moderators who will need to edit stickies.

But the avatars work, the old theme got converted so at least we dont have that shout about color-scheme changes, most of the accesses came across (betas still getting some), the threads survived (THANK GOD!), and the server is still running happy. All in all, as conVersions go, this is a sweet one. (knock on virtual wood)

Now I get to cring at what the addition of c o l o r buttons is going to do to us. I know it was always possible, but now its easy.

Could have been sweeter if the reverse order was retained...

Edit: resolved

[Gandalf Parker]

I thought that going to a "community chat" sequence instead of a "customer support forum" sequence was the big reason everyone asked for the upgrade?

The edit window size (and I believe the forum sequence) are part of your personal profile settings. Go ahead and change it.
