Struggling With New Forum

@guy_ow

No topics showing?

the_bookie

Think it is more than that as old
site was easier to navigate and
see everything your doing & if
your like me you like to see big
Fuller pages with more posts .

Yes and losing content & pics
too from posts is concerning
as a couple of threads I done
have been left missing replys
content and pics which I will
need to tidy up and edit when
I get time .

Also sorry to say glitches and
error messages like oops .........
Something went wrong please
reload the page and try again
& site being unstable are what
I am experiencing .

Taking an age to post so will
pop in later thanks folks

I've lost the plot. How do you upload a question on Help and Support?
I was going to ask - have email notifications stopped?

You've probably sussed it out by now, but if not, there's settings in your profile for email notifications, anything with a red "X" can be turned on, a black "X" you can't change. You get to your profile through clicking or tapping your name / avatar or the profile button in the top bar with your name on it, then go to settings

nefarius new settings you get to choose how you would like notifying

the_bookie as previously mentioned, how do you do p.m's, have they got rid of the kudos system.

I find it hard to string thoughts together not being able to see the whole block of text have just typed.. maybe will get used to it? can you still put you tube vids in or pics?
How do you start a new thread?

Expect there's been info sent out and not read it yet but those are my initial thoughts.. the green is very distracting too, don't know if they could take the hue down..got screen on lowest light setting...

To start a thread go to "All Discussions" and click on white tick in a box. You need to select where it is going to also. ie: GD or H&S. ( tag)

Good morning

Hopefully with a few tweaks to
the problems on the new site
things will get a lot better for
us all .

A couple of my threads I have
noticed have data and photos
missing too after the migration

the_bookie

A very good morning and
thankyou for your replies

Theres a lot of giffgaffers
struggling unfortunately

Yes and the time taken to
post & find things indeed
will put some people of &
at the moment posting is
like a school chore which
I'm sure was not what was
intended in the migration
over to the new platform .

Anyways taking a break &
hope the eds & techs can
sort all the Gremlins out &
make the new forum a lot
more easier to use for all .

A very good morning

Unfortunately I am not finding
the new forum user friendly &
having all sorts of error codes
and the layout is not the best
on a mobile .

Noticed my PMs where put in
a merged bundle and as said
lots of my posts are missing a
lot of the content and pictures
I posted before migration .

eileenusher

bigdaddy0714 I'm finding it easier now, even helped a few people. Lol.

I seem to have found my PMs but they have all migrated over, even the deleted ones? How do you delete them now? Or can’t we?

Terrible on my phone
Still dont understand how you post someones post in my post via the 66 icon.
when i click on it it says insert Quote and gives a cursor line in your post and no more
Below is plan "B" I copied Bookies post and pasted it in Edit.
Why 66 does not do it not a clue by me

the_bookie lots of people's posts have being lost on the migration, I reckon that's why some people's pay back wasn't as much either, I know mine wasn't and I've done just as much as I have in the past. I'm using mobile and don't get error messages, if it keeps happening maybe contact an agent see if they have any ideas why.

alix81

I think it's quite common to not like change, especially when we were so used to the old forum. It will take a bit of time to get used to the new style, hopefully not too long though!

I stopped using giffgaff on my phone now as it confuses the fudge out of me!! I have to use it on google on a computer too or it wont let me use it!

isabel1066

I've found it ok and as we are stuck with it then it might get better later on.

illneverrememberit

the_bookie I’m finding it awful 🙁 don’t think I will be around much longer 🙁

dory85

I don't think they will change back now I've seen loads of giffgaffers say they can't get in with it and find it fusrtsting we will either manage and learn or leave the community and just have it as a pay as go sim deal which will be pretty sad tbh ☹️😔

caro120

the_bookie get the blender out (gremlins) lol,... my fave was stripey🙂

caro120

the_bookie it's not too bad but not found pm's yet tho must admit have concentrated on getting head round other bits... anybody any ideas please?
dunno bout school chore, can't remember that far back but reminds me of going into new jobs lol! expect after a few weeks we'll be fully conversant, these things are designed to be user friendly eh?

the_bookie what are the advantages apart from new look - with my lack of tech ability will probably be the last one to find out lol!🙂

caro120

the_bookie I can't hear that, comes up with message 'detecting problems' when try to turn audio on..

some take that not bad looking back, must admit when hear the name gary barlow I think of coronation street for some reason, can't seem to shift the connection lol!

caro120

the_bookie got sound back now, was this end! never done that before...

yep do remember this one... nice clear voice eh? oo shoulda heard the band the other day in arundel murdoch crazy eyes, wothing based and spot on! Missed half of it and he apologised for voice playing up to start with but they perfectionists so bet it wasn't too bad. Other band think lead singer was struggling a little, hard in this heat and probably bit dusty cos the straw bales all broken down - no good if got hay fever!
