Fair play for getting the new site up and running Regis. I don't think anyone can dispute that the functionality of this one is currently s hite and highly likely to remain so. Any site which requires an app to make it run even better rules me out for the time being at least though.
As with all smart phones I have loads of apps taking up storage on my phone which I don't use (such as Facebook etc) to improve it's functionality. There are any number of reasons for why I don't want any more apps other than strictly necessary.
Storage space and security are amongst them. Another being when I deleted the NHS app along with a plethora of other apps which were required for pubs and restaurants etc post Covid my phone slowed to the pace of a p iss ed up slug which meant I had to get a new one. For reference I haven't even got TicketsOnTheGo on this phone. My season ticket is in printed format.
None of us know exactly what information we download from apps or what information those apps feed back to whomever about us. For that reason I am surprised to see Phild on the new site and would be gobsmacked if he downloaded the app. I know I wouldn't have to download the app to post on the new site but I also know a number of it's features would be lost on me if I didn't.
I am not a conspiracy theorist and most definitely do not wear tin foil hats. As much as anything they're not remotely flattering. On the other hand I am no stranger to tech. Crikey I can even use email and the text message function ( 😃 ) but stop short of activating WhatsApp for a number of reasons listed above. If you're reading this Phild I am not labelling you a conspiracy theorist but I know how much you value security and your right to choose.
Besides you only need 123 on your new site apparently. One former poster from here will no doubt be happy to see the back of myself and Al. It didn't matter how respectful I was or how many times I pointed out that I was joking in certain instances he continued to take the huff over phuck all because I voiced different opinions when I felt it required. That was all. There was no witch hunt and I sincerely hope he has found peace, tranquility and happiness in the new playground.
But that's the thing with playgrounds. They come with swings and roundabouts or in the case of forums differing opinions. I honestly think some people feel a little uncomfortable or even threatened by differing points of view and simply refuse to take them on board. I had no idea 55 (Des) was on the new site. Wish him well from me please. He's a bloody good man and a brilliant poster. I just hope a certain former poster can appreciate the depth and variety of his opinions though because Des has them in abundance.
Anyway I've rambled on enough. All of the very best with the new site. You never know, those of us remaining may join you one day. I do hope nobody in particular would mind awfully if we came along for the ride at some point 😃 😉.
