Why don't you take a vote about the edit button?

 

As I posted on another thread, I can't see the problem, I would think there's a time limit on editing posts to avoid the occasional person who leaves wanting to remove all their old posts, or someone returning to spam, hence making a nonsense of various threads.

 

Perhaps one option is to quote the posts that, in your opinion, are incorrect and write a reply which explains your thoughts.

 

As I said earlier, almost all sites do this.

Any advice I give is honest and in good faith.:)

If in doubt, you should seek the opinion of a Qualified Professional.

If you can, please donate to this site.

Help keep it up and active, helping people like you.

If you no longer require help, please do what you can to help others

An entire post of mine has just disappeared :-(

 

gh2008 can you look in your Inbox and see if you can see my reply to your last post on my Cabot thread? :-

I posted it and checked that it was definitely there too!

 

PS - I vote to keep the Edit Post button :p

The text is too large when I'm on my laptop (1280x800), it's fine on my desktop though (1920x1080)

 

Knocking it down an increment with Ctrl+- makes it fine but then makes most of the internet look silly :S

The above post constitutes my personal opinion on the facts in the post compared with my personal knowledge of the applicable legislation. I make no guarantees of its legal accuracy. If you are in doubt seek advice of a legal professional specialising in the area concerned.

on this new site, and the pictures looked nicer before.

Well whilst everything's being updated on the site, no doubt for a very good reason, might be best to type your post and then copy and paste it to word just in case.

 

I preferred the old one but if the new one's going to be better, security wise, then I'm all for it.

 

I just want maaaaaa smilies back :lol:

 

Poor Webby - he must be having a right nightmare with all these moaning minnies!! Patience of a saint that one - I would normally insert a "nice" smilie here but I can't find one. These new ones look like they have major issues :p

I'm not keen on the current layout.

 

The old format whilst VBulletins out of the box skin/layout (with a few variations of course) it worked, it was crisp, reasonably easy to navigate and everything (forum wise) had it's place and you knew where to find it.

 

This current layout is altogether different, it's scruffy/messy, nothing sort of ends as in all the colours/boxes blend in and it's quite hard to differentiate between the edge/borders.

 

Pastel colours are alright in a forum that maybe deals with basket weaving or aromatherapy but CAG is more businesslike. Gone has the sharp crisp look and in has come

a sort of Laura Ashley theme. Yuk!

 

 

My opinion is that it will put more people off using it than it will encourage others to join/post.

I reside in Dawlish Warren but am not a rabbit.

This whole 'hovering' business to see a post before you click? It doesn't work my side of the fence! Running IE8 - any ideas?

 

I didn't even realise we had that. You mean in the list of threads, hovering over it should bring up a preview? I'm not seeing that in Firefox either

ALSO laptop does not seem to sit right and text is right across the screen on some of the forum

Ok, I'm not the greatest user of CAG. I tend to stick to two main forums that I feel I can actively contribute to. Namely the Benefits Forum and the Bailiff Forum. This new version of software I'm finding very difficult to navigate and appreciate. The original links I had to CAG now just give a 404 error and I'm having to go 'the long way round' to get here. Also I can't even find the Bailiff Forum! To be honest, if this is progress then I think my days on CAG are done. Short but sweet. It's just way too complicated for me now. The 'old' software worked just fine.I knew where I was with it. If it ain't broke you shouldn't fix it!

To be fair, whilst typing this, I have made up my mind to leave CAG. Most of you won't know me and there'll be no loss there. However, I'll miss the Bailiff Forum and doing what little I can for people. However, the beauty of CAG is that there are many who will step up to the plate as we - the technophobes - step down.

Best wishes to the site and all who sail within her. For those who wish to stay in touch you'll know where to find me on Facebook.

Much love

Rae xxxxx

i am being severely hampered with this new cag site

i cannot easily find new posts with few relplies to help on

i cannot easily find new posts to threads i am already subscribed to because there is no user cp tab

i cannot see the last person to post on those threads i have already contributed too either.

my time is limited on each session i have to waste faffing around.

 

if these issues are not sorted soon i will remove my assistance until they are

 

get it sorted guys...........................

 

i am on several forums that updated weeks ago and none have had these issues .

 

you can also enable 'view forum in 'xx' version to enable the user to see the forum the way it was and not be forced click away blindly to find anything because of no menus they can understand or have.

 

i don't mind helping when i've got 5 mins, but this is getting frustrating to the point of giving up because of excessive time wasted

please don't hit Quote...just type we know what we said earlier..

DCA's view debtors as suckers, marks and mugs

NO DCA has ANY legal powers whatsoever on ANY debt no matter what it's Type

and they

are NOT and can NEVER  be BAILIFFS. even if a debt has been to court..

If everyone stopped blindly paying DCA's Tomorrow, their industry would collapse overnight...

Although I appreciate the site upgrade may be necessary for a number of reasons, I have to question the layout.

Center alignment is fine for short sections of text but makes reading difficult for lengthier passages, which are often found on here.

I'm suffering eye strain since the change and expect many others will be experiencing the same problem.

Sorry to add to your list of woes.

 

Who ever told you Web Design was easy? They lied.

How does it go? ... 'You can please all of the people none of the time .... etc.'

The text is only centred on IE (I am using 8 to test) whereas for Firefox the text is fine.

1280 x 800

The last image in the last post has seriously broken the layout..might be best to set a limit of 600px wide

 

This is how it looks if I set my screen to your resolution, still centred. :(

 

I cannot edit the other post, but I agree it blows the forum right out.
