    Loved browsing boards on my phone for the last 10 years, thats close to impossible now, when I go to the home page, I see the same few threads every day, Hungarian Grand Prix the last few days, find it close to impossible to browse effortlessly like before on my phone.


    The desktop site is a little better, but when my laptop is out, I'm working.

    Not mad on the new boards, but don't like Reddit all the fruit loops obsessed with SF, Leo, Micheál, all seem to have moved to Reddit maybe that is a good thing.

    Reddit: Some Irish redditors are more equal than other Irish Redditors and let the Auto-Mods decide.

    I have no idea why anyone would go on /r/ireland unless they wanted to talk about Ireland all the time. It's not a place for Irish people, it's just a place some Irish people might be interested in.

    Whatever about the current state of this place, Reddit absolutely sucks, just narcissists and upvote-whores. It's not a discussion site or anything like one.

    Fingal County Council are certainly not competent to be making decisions about the most important piece of infrastructure on the island. They need to stick to badly designed cycle lanes and deciding on whether Mrs Murphy can have her kitchen extension.

    App hasn't been supported for years and didn't survive the changeover.

    OK so let's try it...

    *clicks on Esel's username*

    "Permission Problem

    This user's profile is private."

    D'oh. 🙄

    @Hotblack Desiato couldn't reply to your post via Quote for some reason.

    Try another user. I made my profile private as a result of the e-mail leak issue - just in case.

    Pretty sure I had to untick the "Allow other members to see your email?" box when I first edited my profile after the changeover too.

    Its also impossible to navigate properly.

    The structure is a mess.

    Its fine for small forums but for larger ones its a complete mess.

    Not getting at you Esel, just that if large numbers of users make their profiles private for whatever reason, a significant chunk of functionality is going to be lost. Can't PM them for instance.

    Fair point. It was a bit of a knee jerk reaction on my part.

    I thought someone said you could still PM a 'private' user though?

    Maybe you could try PMing me?

    Can a mod still PM a member with a “private” profile if they are issuing them a warning?

    This *may* work - go into your messages (envelope icon in your profile) and click the pen icon to compose a new message. Type my username into the recipient box and go from there?

    The re-emergence of PMs that people thought they'd long since deleted is pretty disturbing too. Boards used to have a load of "Talk To" forums (not so many now) and people would have communicated personal information over PM with the reps. So where has all those supposedly "deleted" information been for the last few years and is it now in the hands of Vanilla?

    PM received.

    So, Private means your profile cannot be viewed, therefore a PM cannot be sent from that page.

    PMs can still be sent to 'Private profile' users from your own Inbox as I outlined above.

    That's either a feature or a bug... :)

    I was going to post a comment in another thread, so typed it up in the box at the bottom of the page. But then I decided against posting it so deleted the comment, but everytime I go back to that thread the comment I typed is still in the box waiting to be posted! Anyone else noticed this, or have a solution!?
