Cam give us our old forum back

[Bud]

As the Manchester site has it can we have it back

[supadave]

I`m not bothered either way, but what I will say is that the forum is a lot quieter since the new format was introduced

Can't say that I've noticed that, why should it be so?

I much prefer to actually ride a bike on the road rather than talk about it..... only time i post where ive ridden is on me blog.

Seems to me folk are out n about while the weather is something like decent an not stuck at home.

geee all for change .. it took us ages to get used to it when the hull site changed to the new format . and i like it lol you will get used to it. TECHNOPHOBIC .. s'not so bad after a while tha knows bud lol

[zerocool]

I can assure you that I'm quite used to it by now, and I still think it's crap compared to the old one! It's not been a case of getting used to it, it's learning to put up with it.

[bikertyke]

Its been quiet since it started... used to follow the banter on the shout box.... now it can go hours between posts. Lot of the users who were on here dont seem to use it as much... me included. The old site was far better...

I miss it

[fatrog]

Ditto what Bud n twinspark said, the old format was much nicer to use and easier on the eye. I've been on here since 2006 and there have been a few changes to the look of the site and the way you navigate around it. Some of them worked others didn't. For me this one doesn't do it, but it's Cams site so it's up to him really.

[BigGray]

the manchesterv site will be updated to the same version as this and hull before long

[TimeBandit]

Wasnt right keen on the new layout at first...however its grown on me so happy with it all.

Maybe a few more ikkle smiley facey things??

[lil'bikechick]

lol you will get used to . it . think of it as a new pair of shoes . bit strange at first but once youve broken them in their fine and get as comfy as an old pair of trainers .
agree with TB tho . we could do with a few more smileys . the bwa forum i moderate on as got hundreds lol .. altho maybe then well get an over use of smileys and not typed words lol

Is this enough of 'em

[BigGray]

lol you will get used to . it . think of it as a new man . bit strange at first but once youve broken them in their fine and get as comfy as an old pair of trainers .

bev !!!!!! honestly

[twinspark]

TBH I think if the members' opinions counted for anything, they would have been asked about the new format in the first place. So it doesn't matter if this poll comes out 1000:1 against it (the new layout), the response will still be . May come across as very militant but it's my genuine belief.

It's not that big a deal and I'm still very grateful for having access to this forum, it just means I don't bother as much as I used to. As for the 'get used to it' argument, it doesn't hold any water at all for me - this simply isn't as good!

well its true .. the new style forum i think . now pays for itself via ads and stuff . the old style forums at first relied on cam putting his paws in his own pocket to fund it and then later on donations . but even then i dont think that was enough . buuuut now even thats not needed .. i think in all fairness we should all be grateful to cam that we have a forum . weve got more space for pictures now too . i like it . but i didnt like the new style on the hull bikers to start with either . honestly it really aint so bad .

[jon'n'yvon]

its the words on the posts that I read, I'm not bothered whats around the edges, I really did like the old site but this is fine now i'm used to it...nobody wants change and its usually older people that moan about the good old days of pigeon post and rickets.

[TimeBandit]

Bring back steam trains i say

[triumphbill]

Yeah,

And lets bring back coal fires.

So we can use kids to clean the chimneys.


I've got used to the new format now and TBH I'm not bothered. I worked in IT and I'm used to things changing all the time.

[scottyrocket]

you have to move with the times or you'll end up in the situation our work place is in now leaving it too long and having to invest loads of time and money to move on whens it no longer compatible with the current version of windows & ie ect

[Kat]

I cant get on with the format of the new site - hence why i've not been on as much.
Bring back the old one!

[jon'n'yvon]

I do remember the early computers with only a crap typeface and no images only the ones made from boxes.

With regard to computers ....Progress is usually good reading binery code is bad ......

[moggy]

reading binery code is bad ......

What even 1000101?
