    Looks like the new Draft option saves a draft even if the Save Draft button is not clicked then you need to go to user icon at top right to delete it. Am I doing something wrong here?

    I like on the touch site the quick links at the bottom, although there is a "unanswered questions" notification x 2" for random threads which I dont know why 🤔

    Cant find a bloody thing. Desktop is hard enough but mobile is next to impossible to navigate, seems desperate slow as well.

    Is the soccer forum gone?

    But there's nothing there. Click on it and it's empty, just a small list of members and now threads or discussions.

    On my mobile it has still not been updated. All I am getting is a spinning thingy. Last post I see is about a week ago fr any or all forums. . As I know nothing about technology I will just wait.

    Do I have to do something to get the latest version on my mobile?

    Another thing. if I wanted to uninstall it on my mobile where do go to get the new version? I can not see it on Google Playstore.

    The Mobile site is pretty much useless for normal use.

    Search is useless to actually find what you want.

    Where are my forums?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 901 ✭✭✭usernamegoes


    I miss the hover-over top menu that used to be on the desktop site. Navigating around now required too many clicks and page loads.

    How do I find the forums I followed ??



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,382 ✭✭✭✭M.T. Cranium


    Anyone know how to change an avatar? TIA



  • Posts: 513 ✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Come on now MT, your moustache is lovely 😊


    I could only do it on my phone. Not on desk top. Click on present avatar. Go to drop down account icon that appears. Select Edit Profile. At the bottom of that page is an option that says Change My Picture.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,787 ✭✭✭✭Galwayguy35


    So does anybody at all like the new set up?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 737 ✭✭✭Summer2020


    This is genuinely awful, so hard to navigate and a complete chore to find a forum. I’d love to see the stats on posts since the site came back, as I couldn’t be bothered interacting with threads anymore it’s far too much of an effort.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 254 ✭✭nialler1978


    yep, stupid question. you go into 'Edit Profile' after clicking on your avatar and then there is a barely legible drop down 'edit profile' and then there is absolutely no option to edit profile other than your email. that's how it works here.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,942 ✭✭✭Jimmy Bottlehead


    This is muck.


    I'm all for change and upgrading where needed, but this mobile site is absolutely crap compared to the old one.


    What's annoying me most so far is the lack of 'Last Post By' and with some indication of WHEN that was.


    Honestly, unless this either improves MASSIVELY and quickly, or they revert to the old site, I can see this being the beginning of the end.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 254 ✭✭nialler1978


    it's got kind of a journal.ie feel/skin to it which is also crap and didn't need the redesign. thumbs down feature too offensive. I used to go there purely for the comments and red thumbs, can't remember the last time I've even used it.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 3,706 ✭✭✭Azatadine


    I'm sure there's an element of learning about it and we will get to grips with the new format. Also, I believe they are still working on lots of stuff in the background. It'll be just fine when we get used to it.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,411 ✭✭✭Deedsie


    This is actually shockingly bad.

    I really hope this is just early days bugs etc

    No one can think as it stands that this is an improvement on the old site?

    Can you edit posts? I cant figure out how to do it if you can.

    the key to good interface design is the distinct lack of an element of learning. I agree with you though, sometimes learning is a necessary element which requires patience, but this is a mess on the mobile site. As I pointed out on my previous post, click on your avatar, you've a near black link over dark navy, this is pure basics.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,681 ✭✭✭amber2


    Can’t find When you search for a thread how do you search newest first? How do I unfollow a thread….. nothing is self explanatory except for the few icons on the bottom and quick links. I can’t find a thing anymore.

    Change for the sake of it.

    Worked fine before. Don't like it at all.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 254 ✭✭nialler1978


    three dots at the top right of your comment in the navy bar.

    doesn't work all the time, took me a few tries to even quote your comment.

    on the upside there is a distinct lack of heavy handed moderation, don't think they've figured it out.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 38,793 ✭✭✭✭BorneTobyWilde


    They saying is

    If it's not broke ,don't fix it,...........it doesn't go, if it's not broke, break it.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 350 ✭✭yogibear77


    I use a tablet so not sure what version I'm using as it looks different to the version on my mobile. When I previously opened the homepage a number would appear top right indicating how many threads I followed had new posts. Clicking on it would give a list of these threads......is that now gone?

    When I open a thread this screen is totally different from the homepage.

    I really dont like it.

    Dont know how to follow or unfollow a thread.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,301 ✭✭✭Snickers Man


    You went all the way to Canada to get someone to mess this up this badly? Surely there are incompetent, deadline-missing, layabouts over here who could screw up your site without being able to pull the "We're all asleep at this time on our side of the world" line?

    It's bad enough completely changing the way the interface works. But not even giving people the option, or failing to explain how users can operate as they used to using a new set of commands/clicks/buttons is unforgivable. Why? What is the rationale behind saying to people who have been using the site for more than a decade: "I don't care how comfortable you are with the old way; you've got to search, post, follow and generally interact in a completely new way because we say so!!"?

    Rubbish!!!😡

    I don't understand it all but maybe newer users will adapt better to it. I hope it goes well because it is a niche site with a community who are clearly very fond of it 🙂



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,885 ✭✭✭✭MEGA BRO WOLF 5000


    Trawling threads to find my own post...is it 1995?
