The new board

[Sevvy too 2]

Still struggling with it, am I missing
It, or is there a home button?

See the thing top left, looks like this:

I don't have that...

Nobody does :-) At the bottom of each thread there is an option to go to 'Top'. Once at the top of the thread look above the 'Reply to Thread' option and you will see a trail from 'Forum, Clubs, Scotland, ScottishFitba Messageboard, The new board'. Select ScottishFitba Messageboard and you will be taken to the top of the board..

Not the slickest but this is how all VBulletin boards work - Sorry

It's absolutely garbage Ed. I understand that there's teething problems with any change but unless this improves I think you'll see a fall off in posts and posters. It's just a pain in the @rchie to have to wade through. You cant even "Like" posts any more and where are the emoticons gone - every other medium seems to be increasing theirs but this message board seems to have gotten rid of the limited number it had

Liking posts & emoticons hardly make a forum, do they?

The only issue I have with the new format is that you seem to have to log in again every time you visit but that takes about 10 seconds anyway.

Liking posts ffs who cares

Click the wee bit that says remember me next to where you log in Mook and that saves you having to log in everytime.

Ok, noted, cheers.

Not saying the likes and emoticons are mandatory, and I'm on other boards that don't have them, but having had them I think it's a retrograde step that they were removed. Likes at least saves people from posting and reading "I agree" type stuff.

I just think the whole visual aspect is rubbish. The way to navigate is pish. And even to read or quote messages from further up in a thread is a nightmare. I find the whole thing a bit of a turn off compared to what went beforehand.

As I said, change happens and it's not always free from teething problems but one would generally expect things to change to bring in an improvement. Not to make a retrograde step or series of steps that seems to have happened here.

Wonder what it's like for posting links - here goes
