Welcome to the new Boards.ie platform - Version 1.0 :)

That's a question that those who are in a position to support can't as they already left, they will not actually be here. You're free to leave any time you want, nobody is forcing you to stay here. I've absolutely no problems sticking around.

Can you make sure [ tables ] is on the list, ty.

@Boards.ie: Odhran

Twitter, Reddit, Instagram, TikTok next on the hit list. Can't be having people linking to those sites daily like we have done for decades if we want consistency. But boards don't really want consistency do they? They just block one particular site, just because. Not like Voat which was an abusive cesspit, and the reason they justified that, or gearbest for actual shilling with money involved but this time it's just a little forum with 500 members.

I'd hazard a guess there were dozens more links to twitter every single day than the forum they've decided to block. Go figure eh?

Thanks @Boards.ie: Niamh I'll try that later.

still having trouble pasting in links and text from elsewhere and then getting above that to write some more text, (above and between the quote you made and the quoted post) you used to be able to switch modes in order to fix problems like that.

such basic things are still a pain.

You must be joking. There are posters over there knocking Boards as a site, the Moderators and the members. It's rife with people banned from Boards calling for extremely lax moderation because they'd never survive otherwise. Berties Horse and a couple of others can hardly string three words together without getting a dig at Boards users. There were several there openly saying how they were hitting Boards with as many mentions of the new site as possible and PMing people to leave Boards and join them. I liked it there, as there were some decent threads starting but there's definitely a toxic tone from some that drove me away from it.

As @Tom Mann Centuria has undoubtedly put better than I'm about to, you're wrong.

Not a "hate site" (LOL). It's not MySpace FFS 😂

Not comprised of 'banned users and malcontents'. There are many good, solid posters over there, some of whom I definitely recognise from here.

There is some complaining about Boards (mostly the revamp), but it's a fraction of the complaining about Boards HERE on Boards itself. Also the odd arsehole over there, but as stated, they're everywhere including here.

But if you want to tell yourself all the above is true, you go right ahead. There are obviously alternative places for people to chat, and no one place are likely to suit all users, so it's good to have the options.

In my opinion, it's a shame when a certain site(s) is specifically targeted for censorship, especially at a time when the community here has been absolutely battered by the Vanilla revamp, but Boards will do as Boards will do, as is their right and perogitive.

When I'm reading a post on desktop neither the "Categories" or "Top Forums" boxes are visible. Neither are they visible in my bookmarks page or what passes for "My Forums". These (particularly categories) need to be visible on all pages not just the front page.

The difference being that the complaining on “there” is incredibly spiteful and coming from, previously, banned users if this site.

I’ll grant you, there are one or two, more, normal users who seem to be, somewhat, active but, for the most part, it’s the “Current Affairs” type poster who wants to be able to spout their vicious, and nasty, opinions unchecked.

Just had a look there and they’ve even got a copycat ‘Late Late Show’ thread. It’s ridiculous. Boards shouldn’t entertain this pale imitation and any further shilling of it should be dealt with harshly.

For what it’s worth, this site is running well now. Any “issues” users could have at this stage must be minor, dark mode etc.

We're drifting off topic but you know rightly the point being made was an awful lot more than than.

Either way, doesn’t look like the copycat “version” was up to much anyway.

As the fixes roll in you’re only going to see the banned, and the perpetually miserable, users on there.
