I canât seem to embed YT clips today, maybe itâs a temporary error?
A sensible internet forum should look like the classical style forum so you get an overview.
Most forums still look like this, and that works for both phones and computers by the way.
Itâs also nice to be able to see at the front page who are logged in, creates a familiar atmosphere.
Are you talking about this forum here? Youâre a few years late with your feedback The switch happened over a decade ago. And we purposely said goodbye to the old 1990s style forums, like most good communities have. It is super phone compatible, has a powerful search and itâs easy to find things. As for logged in uses, there are some technical reasons why this doesnât exist, but you can go to the users list, sort by recently active and thatâs pretty much it⌠but I agree it would be nice to âseeâ whoâs in the bar when you enter it
Of course Iâm talking about this forum.
Yes I saw that thread, nobody liked the forumâs new look. They were polite though and said theyâll get used to it.
You can search for things on other forumâs as well, this one is not better in any way.
anything youâre not finding with search?
What a weird question.
Who has said anything about not finding things?
If it doesnât exist on the forum then I canât find it of course.
Also I donât like that people can see in real time when youâre editing a post. If you want to change or add something I prefer to write and then be able to preview before posting.
Also having this problem⌠not sure where that comes from at the moment
Of course Iâve seen the preview, you canât miss it.
You misunderstand, when someone has posted and are making changes, it is visible to others if youâre looking at that post.
You can see in real time people making edits.
And you see this as a problem?
Yes I do.
and why?
I want to make changes or add things on my own before presenting it.
Not sure if thereâs a misunderstanding here. Unless you press âreplyâ or âpostâ, what you type isnât visible to others.
Oh, but it is, I saw hammerfist making changes back and forth in the Companeros thread earlier today.
Before you post a new post itâs not visible, but if you edit a post that is already in the forum it is visible.
Well thatâs probably because he edited it multiple times. The post is only updated when the user presses the âSave Editâ button while editing. You canât see what they are typing in real time?
Then he changed his post quite quickly while you were typing your reply and then pressed âsaveâ (I just did with this sentence)? As the forum doesnât need a browser refresh to show changes it might have seemed like in real timeâŚ
Generally, you would only see changes to posts once theyâve been submitted (which isnât real time, but ex-post, like an edit history in a wiki). And you can see the fact that someone is editing their post, which helps to not reply to outdated arguments too much.
Another edit: edits made directly after submitting a post, such that are made just seconds after, are not recorded as separate edits it seems but attributed to the original posting action.
Yes ok, maybe itâs like you say, hammerfist made several changes in a short time.
