Keithl Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 Good morning all, I have just received an email from Daniel saying the new forum format is currently undergoing final tweaks to match Warner's web colours, etc. and the transfer of the many thousands of posts has commenced so deployment is 'imminent'! He had no firm date to offer but will advise us all when the change is about to happen. Keith. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tracker Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 Thanks Keith, appreciate the update, and well done to you for keeping an eye on the forum now that so many respected contributors have given up. Credit too to Warners for their perseverance as they must be disappointed by the fall off of user log ons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geeco Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 Keith, thank you for the heads up. It might be worthwhile for Daniel to email all registered users when they launch the new software. I am sure previous users have been put off by the recent glitches. Cheers, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had no firm date to offer but will advise us all when the change is about to happen. Keith. Mornin' Keith. It will be very useful if the many years' worth of helpful threads will still be accesible? :-D (although I dare say there will be a few of the , *cough* "multiple-personality" and "banned" types - shall we refer to them as "The boys in the banned"? - who would rather that their previous "contributions" would be erased... (lol) ) Slightly off topic- (and this was also raised by someone at the time)- Did Warners "do" something to the adverts on here a while back? as in,increase them or the amount of "umph" that is needed to run them? because maybe 6-8? months back it became neigh on impossible to navigate this site using my little (non-adbloc equipped!) Amazon tablet.. The site became/is slow and erratic. ie- You think a page has loaded, so click an item, only to find you've opened something else? It isn't an issue on the laptops (with adbloc) but it seems a bit more "involved" to get a worthwhile adblock on the* Amazon tablet (*maybe because they were designed as a "purchasing-portal" as much as anything? ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColinM50 Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 No, No, No. we don't want this new software 'cos Derek said that when we get new s/w he's going to stop posting and we don't want to lose his expertise do we? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colin, Unfortunately Derek has already hung up his forum mouse. He officially resigned at the end of May. So now you only have me to contend with :D :D :D And love the poem Tracker ;-) Keith.
