New format and function not good

New format and function is not very satisfactory.

Why a new design when the old one was quite useful?

The old version of the software was full of security vulnerabilities and needed to be updated to a more modern, more secure version.

At least we're not dealing w/ verticalscope

Add me to the the list of not satisfactory. And please remove the like button- this isn't a popularity contest.

You are in a twisty maze of little Forums, all different.....

I’ll give it 10 minutes. Wait, it took me two tries to get this far so that leaves 4 minutes.

I’m lost, too. How will I ever find home?

Recent Posts.. gone. That's a security risk?

Oh my, we have a bit of a learning curve here.

The plan is that the New Topics button and Topics by date should provide the functionality of the old Recent Posts button.
I can say that, based on my experiences on another Forum that made the v4 to v5 jump, the admin team has done an exceptional job of retaining the look and feel of the Forum.
Let's wait and see what additional tweaks can be done once the new version is stable.

This is just like when a new Code cycle is published..........

Needs to filter out posts that have already been read

functionally it is like something completely different. I miss the new posts button already.

It took me 2 minutes to figure out how to do "reply". Maybe it could use, oh, I don't know, a REPLY button?!?

And yes, needs to filter out read posts.

Really, I don't mind new functionality, just don't break the old functionality.

There is always going to be a learning curve when new software is used. Give it a chance

How do you get the list of "threads with new posts in them?" I don't want to see a list of posts; I want to see a list of updated threads, without snippets.

Someone please PM with how to do that because I don't think I'll be able to find this later.

Improvements are one thing; but making it completely different is another.

This is absolutely horrendous. Worst forum format I've ever seen.

 

[LarryFine]

Help! It took me ten minutes to get this far. Are there any forum instructions? Where is the "new posts" since last visit button?

Please add me to the "do not like" list!
