Thank you for your reply. The navigation slider on the right hand side of the thread is useful if the thread was divided into pages or if the thread was of short to medium length. But the thread appears not to be divided into pages so long threads will go on for ever thus making the navigation slider a cumbersome task. If for example a thread is e.g. pages 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10 and I wanted to return to an issue raised in the page 4 I simply press page 4 option and find the relevant post. However on this new system I have to navigate from last post back all the way to the relevant post, it feels like a reference book without an A-Z index? Maybe I am missing something with this new system, but at the moment it feels like we have gone back in time with technology in regard to precision and speed.
Graeme, I can’t see any real difference either, although I suppose if you subscribed to multiple forums on the same platform the shortcuts would be useful.
Having said this I do like using it on my phone, for iPad use I just use a browser.
The app and iOS/Safari versions are identical, but the desktop version (which you can also opt to use on iOS) is different.
Having really enjoyed the old forum with it’s massive amount of advice and useful information I am struggling to understand why it has been killed off. I feel the heart of the naim user community has been ripped out. There is information in there that I still want to access. Posters I enjoyed reading.
There is no explanation given why it was killed. Very arrogant.
If indeed it was necessary for technical reasons to move to a new forum platform the two should have run in parallel for a couple of years with a pop up warning that users should start to use the new one.
I fail to see any significant advantages with the new layout. Looks pretty standard to me. Nothing earth shattering that could justify the change.
Sorry to be a pain, but I am disappointed. Am I the only one?
Thomas
After my original concerns I have to say I’m enjoying the new. Give it time.
Thomas an explanation was given on the old forum, and I added to that in my post on here;

The old forum was never ideal for purpose - We probably should have done something like this sooner, but there were difficulties. We didn’t want to lose all the old info and we were led to believe that this was inevitable if we moved, as it could not be ported at all easily. Finally we reached agreement that we could have the old forum content for an archive and start afresh with a new forum that is far better structured and arranged for our needs and should give an improved experience for members. All the posts and information from the old forum is being archived and should be available for search within the next few weeks. Sorry you’re disappointed. It’s early days. We are all working hard to make this place work the best we can make it. If there are things you don’t like or would like to see improved then please do say.
Gutted that the old joke forum has gone. I used to post a joke a day to all my friends and took the jokes from the forum. I did it for the last year and was going to continue to do it this year too but now all the jokes have gone. Is there any way of getting them back?
I would guess that the old jokes would also be a part of the archive. There’s another “old” jokes thread running on this new forum as well…
Where do I find them please?
They’re in the Padded Cell, as usual. The thread is here;
I should have called it New Jokes!
Sorry where is the link to the archive of the old jokes?
It will be in the forum archive along with everything else when it’s been processed.
The Archive is not ready yet. Should be in a few weeks time.
Going back to my previous post on this thread about long threads, I think the term ‘Pagination’ needs to be at least considered. On this new system the thread seems never ending as the page expansion seems endless, its ok if one has the tools or options to efficiently find the post your looking for and the slider bar on the right hand side is only user efficient for short to medium threads. If ‘pages’ were still used this would not be a problem but it seems ‘Pages’ have gone out of fashion for a strange reason?
I don’t think that’s an available option on this platform. Scrolling and loading seems really fast though, so it should not be a problem.
We’ll I was faked out by the new look and I guess I was already signed in but set up a new account. Same info and my old. Richard, did I screw up?
HI, if you click the ellipsis underneath a post you are able to bookmark a post if you are likely to need quick access again. If it’s something you might not realise you need again the search function is far better than the old forum and when you click on the search result it will take you to the exact post in the thread. Search can be accessed using the magnifying glass icon in the top right of the screen. To jump directly to the post click on the thread title, so when testing this feature to find your post I clicked Forum Feedback. I hope this helps, many thanks.
All looks fine from here.
I apologise if this has already been addressed elsewhere, but is it possible to size photographs selected from the Internet at it was on the Hoop La forum? Thank you.
