Betfair, I'm sure your intentions were good. But the simplicity of the old forum far outweighs (any) advantages of the new forum.

what exactly is better?

we now have hundreds of short threads and the compactness
of the old thread meant you could see all the previous posts clearly.

i don't need a big bubble/space,with the time and posters name.

the old fun,when a dramatic goal was scored and 100s of "goals","booms" etc is ruined Sad

It's 100% worse than the old forum - and there's no two ways about it.

Plus, it's playing havoc with my computer - as it is for other people.

Yes, I was determined to keep an open mind but there's no point denying the obvious - the old style forum was much better.

look you guys ...

you have to accept that 23,127,456  people in the UK are employed in jobs where they HAVE to think of something NEW ...it doesnt matter what it is,how shyttte it is ...but it just has to be DIFFERENT .

Just  accept this as part of life and move on .

Otherwise we would have a nation of 99% unemployment .

In all fairness we musn't forget the fact that the old forum had begun to play up an awful lot towards the end, it was crashing for a pastime.

They need to get the snap back, it's just no good for quick cheering/rowing as aa said above. Far too much space.Sad

Smilies clicking off afer one pass is also aggravating.

I can't be doing with emoticons and never use them.

Now, I have to see a ruddy great line of them everytime I post!


'ey up!
I've just run my mouse over them - and they've disappeared. Good!

To be fair, the change of forum has not been a change for changes sake, but probably helps them to manage in the long run what is a massive bit of online tomfoolery to run. We don't know, but could have been the old phorum couldn't have been sustained much longer.

I would like to qualify this rationalism however with the statement that I am not seething, I am INCANDESCENT

The software that ran the old forum is no longer available, so if it continued it would become problematic, and your PC may have picked up bugs by using it. 

This forum is crap but it's all you're going to get because the new BETA one is open to blue eyed boys only, so thats me facked.

While this forum exists in this format I'm not entering any quizzes, and can't see how anybody can run one. I was up to 10 seconds trying to click on threads last night.
