I really, really miss the old forum....

Well,

The age old Mac Problem. Not sure what it is, but I am sure it will get worked out. I've volunteered to help, not sure if it's needed or not.

I stay here inspite of change. I never posted much. Too many people with better ideas and experience than I have. I post where I feel my point can be made after reviewing the topic. Sometimes I even make a post on a topic I need help with. That is what I thought a Forum was all about. Giving and receiving help.

I have learned a lot here in 2 years, post count be damned.

Aggro,

I think the worst thing is the totally lack of interest for solving the problems on this so called new and better forum.

I have emailed Bergie but I don't even get an answer.

As a Mac user I can't do much here. I have all kind of problems. The pdf videos for example that seems to be the new great thing is not for me, I can't use that feature at all.

Mac users are model railroaders too, but when the importent thing is money, things like that does not mean much... I'm 100% sure they calculated and said, we can sacrifice Mac users because they are a minority.

I might be considered part of the "Old Wife's Club" - I don't miss a lot of the inane chatter. It was just static on an otherwise informative channel.

The forum change is kind of a wash - some better features, some worse.

Couldn't agree more.  I'm fairly new at this, but the change, in my opinion, has not been for the better.  I have recently spent more time trying to find other model railroad forums than lurking here.  I have noticed a marked drop in participation, which seems to be getting worse.  Hopefully the powers that be at Kalmbach will take notice and make changes (quickly?).

In the meantime what are some other forums that I should visit.  I've already tried Atlas, which isn't all that bad as an alternative.

I've been waiting for someone to broach this subject and yes I couldn't agree more with most of the comments made.

I do not find it user friendly nor very navigable.

A lot of the friendly banter that I thouroughly enjoyed is gone.

I dare not say more as I may invoke the wrath of the "Old Wife's Club"

However that said it is still one of the better threads for getting quick answers to questions asked.

Hang in there please guys!  We need to keep going to build this forum back up.

I agree that the change has been annoying.  I think that they didn't appreciate how stuck in our ways we get and how PC challneged some of us are.

I've only just figured out how the "My Forums" and "Persoanl messages" work... and I'm not entirely thick... mostly just not used to the jargon.

Would it help if I posted more weird questions for you to comment on?

To tell the truth I get a bit concerned that I post a lot and long stuff... I don't have Spacemouse to compete with currently...

COME BACK SPACEMOUSE! 

WE MISS YOU!

Agree with you, it is NOT user friendly.
Cheers,

Oh, its not all that bad.  There are few features that are diffiicult, or wishfing that had done something else.  But then, they are quite a few things that I like too. 

 Like the fact that you can see my happy dance under my name.

 

 

Nice to see your face again.  Hope to see more of it.

Me too,  I'm glad to see all the polls and trolls are gone. but it just ain't the same.

A lot fewer posts and new topics. Also before you could see the threads that are new and new replys

since your last visit that were a different color.  I dont know if I'm just stupid or what but I can't

figure out alot of the new features.

I also miss my daily Spacemouse fix.

Me too and we lost a few great modelers that had headaches posting. But then agro I surley dont miss the polling and the stars....John. .

[AggroJones]

This new format ain't doing it for me. Difficult to figure out. Not as user friendly either.
