AirwickWithCheese Posted March 1, 2015 Share #2 Posted March 1, 2015 Because we came here because of forced change. Now we're forced to change again. The difference is this change is an improvement but it's still change. Would be like your wife wanting to move from your starter house to the house on Crescent Avenue. Well maybe I don't want to move. Maybe she'll meet a lawyer at the country club and divorce you 2 years later. But I digress. All change is bad. Forums should be like AOL. You can keep 2.0 if you want. Leave me alone 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leave me alone I agree with most of this, although I don't know why we would voluntarily change softwar/UI over minor and incremental improvements, I would think a massive improvement would be the carrot needed. Nobody spoke up, though, because the previous changes here weren't this noticeable. A couple tweaks I mentioned about location of certain functions and real estate/spacing and it probably wouldn't seem so onerous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AirwickWithCheese Posted March 1, 2015 Share #7 Posted March 1, 2015 Change is also a reminder that you are expendable and irrelevant to the process. Sure you have a vote but that's all it is. Don't you like the detached garage, honey? No because it's you and the attorney that will be parking in it a year from now. All this could be solved by allowing the use of the old formats. Like AOL! 20 years from now when most of you are posting from your ring phones Cheese still could post occasionally from his dial up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeeesus, roll with it people.I haven't even been on long enough to see the changes yet, but agree in principle. Every time a forum does so much as change the color of a single word, the curmudgeons come out in force. It's always annoying. Roll with it you curmudgeonly old farts!

AirwickWithCheese Posted March 1, 2015 Share #13 Posted March 1, 2015 No, I have to be fair here. The format is snappy and beautiful. The few glitches I'm sure will be fixed quickly. SW cares unlike the big forums. But, sometimes it's still hard. I just want to be able to talk to Kirby, and to a lesser extent, Wilbur. I call this the Nintendo syndrome. The 64 was king of the world but they just had to keep improving and modifying for their customers. Problem with that is someone bigger and better will always come along and make people forget you. I just wanted to jump barrels with Mario and save the princess. Not race go carts and fly in jets. I don't want to insert other media. At best I want to add an attachment.

I'm glad you have us figured out. Change for the sake of change is no virtue. I think that those of us who are plankowners on this site have a right to their opinion as to whether this "upgrade" is truly an upgrade or not.The whole point of an open forum is a free expression of ideas and opinions. If you want a forum where people just STFU and accept whatever is thrown at them, then you are going to be disappointed here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please point out all of your helpful comments and suggestions when I took the time to create a test site for you to play with. I repeatedly encouraged people to try it out to make sure they were happy and would not be angered by big brother shoving this horrible upgrade down your throat. I got zero feedback, silly me I took that as acceptance of moving forward with new and advanced software, so yes, I purchased the upgrade.I have been up days and weeks planning how I could make this site worse and make everyone unhappy, yay, I have succeeded. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's optimized. Not for a desktop, tablet or phone, but for everything. What is a desktop? A 15" monitor? 19, 24 widescreen, 32"? Everything is different and it gets more complicated everyday.
