Cluttered Feeling on New Forums
Comments

Still getting used to the new facelift. I know it's supposed to be "better" or whatever word you want to use, but if truth be told, what was so "bad" with the original forum page(s)? As they say, 'Sometimes good enough is good enough.' Or 'good enough isn't good enough.' I'm going with the former. Minor tweaks might have saved the day.
Fore me, it's too busy. I liked the simplicity of the original. We all got used to it and personally speaking, sometimes I would go to the forums just to see what so and so was posting or just to walk around and see what a person was thinking/asking or replying. I have my favourites. But now, I find myself losing heart. I don't want to lose touch with many of you. It's a family sort of and a bit sad to find myself in this head-scratcher.
But, I get it. Maybe it's time for the relics to either lay back or jump in with both feet and giv'r a shot. And besides with all those "ancient" candles who could blame the ole milkman for ceasing from the early milking of cows to delivering to his long-time customers and having a cup of coffee with them?
Someone in an earlier post alluded that the Forums had become a tad, harsh, resulting in one of our long-time and dare I say beloved forum users baleing. Things aren't as rosie as they once were and that's a sad thing.
I'm under no illusion that the Forums will revert to the original format and I'm confident that suggestions and comments are all taken to heart. Logos/FL has been and will be a good company and her staff wonderful ppl.
Anyway, that's my glass of spilt milk. So to quote The Green Mile - Get Busy living or get busy dying. OR in milkman lingo; Get busy adjusting or get busy sulking. Now on to milking my black and white friends. People need their milk.

Milkman, you HAVE to deliver milk. It's your forum job. We all have our jobs.
But for me, they're getting closer. If they showed who last posted and go-direct, I'd be ok.
In theory, the new app has more power … bug reporting, help, etc. The use of tags … I have my doubts. Badges, embarrassing. Ha.
But best of all, more Logos adverts! Great buys you already bought.

Hi, milkman: Remember me, the guy formerly from the 'Peg?
I tell people about the Icicle in the Forehead one gets walking straight into the wind on a cold January day: 30 below, with a 30 mph wind. I guess what I'm saying is we turn down a side street towards the new Forums; it's a little warmer here.
They're building a new etherial village where stuff is done differently. This is down the side street, where a bunch of new streets and avenues have appeared.
I seriously dislike computer changes, but am trying hard to learn this new village while Jason of Faithlife still inhabits this space. Will you do so as well? Or, there is always the icicle straight from its headwind into your heart.

Will give it a chance. Just don't want to start slipping on these icy streets, fall and give up. Thanks.
The milk delivery will go on. Thanks.
