List of what is currently wrong with the forum

Deleted User

I was wondering if most people who contribute here are fine with no current problems, so I thought a list might be useful.

I'm rather despairing at the moment of its brokenness and absence of communication from NAS about a timescale (or anything) for sorting these.

It's making me wonder whether to bother any longer.

1. I know that   has a message coming up in orange at the top saying his account may/will be deleted.

2. I keep being logged out (orange banner at the top with a seconds countdown).

Is anyone else getting anything still (or even unable to use their original account?).

Has anything been sorted?

Thanks.

  • I was searching old threads earlier so that I wouldn’t create duplicates of things that have already been discussed, and in the process realised just how many regular posters don’t seem to have made the transition to the new forum.

    I’ve tried not to be negative about the upgrade but this has to be the single biggest problem by far. It’s a disaster for the forum and the community here.

    I hope those missing are okay, there are too many of you to name here. If you’re lurking and not posting, please consider rejoining us. You are all missed. Every one of you.

    This is a difficult subject to write about without sounding negative.....as you rightly say....but I do think it is important.

    The new forum does seem to have culled another swathe of regular contributors.....but we should also be mindful of other issues/problems that existed BEFORE the new forum debacle......that arguably equalled this cull effect.

    Earlier this year, a huge swathe of long-standing contributors seemed to drain away during a protracted period when "culture wars" seemed to infiltrate, override and stifle more interesting autistic and varied matters of discussion.  This was a really sad and upsetting time for me here.  Personally, I think that automated bots helped fan these flames very effectively.

    Before the "new forum", I was regularly perceiving lots and lots of "human-looking-bots" here......although many folk here did not appear to share that perception and interactions with them seemed common - normally just one or two exchanges - but it still helped keep the forum looking "vibrant."

    Since the "new forum", I am seeing virtually none.  Whilst this lack of bots is compounding the "lack of traffic", hopefully, their exclusion from here will diminish the chance of another period of "culture war" getting out of hand in the future.  So that is GOOD NEWS.

    So who knows what the future will bring?  Hopefully, more interest - and contributors - and the return of some familiar folk!

    It does seem to drop off sharply since that date. It's very sad.
