I dont like the new way of telling us when the thread was last posted on. The time was a lot easier than so many hours ago or Today or Yesterday. I can imagine it must be infuriating to have your name changed. Prefer the old thread set up too, not with the last posting under the tirle.

Hi all~~

Borot~~~Bob

I've fiddled around and now have my name back:) Try it in my accounts:)

I don't like not seeing the time the last thread was posted, having the reply space at the bottom of the page and when you post your post goes down to the bottom !!! and having to click post date all the time !
Basically why the need to change it...?

Grizzle over, we'll get used to it :)

Sandie.

Oh ....
The only thing I do like is when you go into my threads you can see if there are new posts :))

I think it needs to be stated that nobody is complaining about change but rather that things have been changed not for the better. Why can't they leave it as the actual time of the last posting? Why should I have to work it out all the time? How is that productive? To say nothing about how people in other countries like to compare what time it is here to there.

I hate not having the time in hours and minutes


I'm in Canada, but having UK time showing helps me realise that it is the middle of the night for you folks ............... so I know I won't get an answer until tomorrow. It's almost automatic for me to add or subtract 8 hours to find out what time it is over there vs here.


GR has always done this though ..... made lots of changes, most of which go wrong, and have to be corrected



Don't you think they would learn to

a) test out changes first
b) make sure they work
c) don't do 'em all at once!




I now automatically hit the computer's Back button (or fast back) to get back to the Community boards after every post that I make. Nuisance

I am also sick and tired fo the fact that they have apparently widened the Community Board listings AND the boxes on the threads



as a result, the threads all appear below the Community listings



I'm going to have muscles on muscles on my forefinger as I scroll down every bloomin' time I change thread or page!
