What is going on with the forums now?

Those threads in Off Topic are not showing up when I refresh the "Latest Threads"?

Hm, they show up correctly in my Checker. For now they don't show up on the "Latest Threads" though.

Likely because there has been a PC sweep. I've received nowt from the Mods on this.

Is this by design?

Exactly where they were before - if you visit the off-topic forum you'll find them all.

I prefer the old way... if you accidentally dismissed something from your checker you could always look in latest threads and find it there...

It's a shrewd move to get people to use their full options here. I like it :)

I think it sucks... people should be using the checker, this is true. but latest threads should be latest threads, regardless of whether they are in off-topic or not.

There are ways and means of accessing them. What I don't like is that, after accessing them and making a post, it didn't show up on the main screen yet it registered as posted as the times check out.

So it's safe to say, no one is really that fond of the current format? ;)

It's different and, like anything, takes some time to get used to :) It's not so radical, as long as the disappearance of threads is accounted for :)

It's the age old brocard, 'if it ain't broke, don't fix it'. Still, a little experimentation serves a useful purpose.

Well, no threads have disappeared, they're just not visible on the home page at the moment but remain in the OT lounge as usual. :)

Fair enough. It is a little bit strange to look at when first viewing it.

admin and mods talk about using it since i can remember... but not everybody likes the checker...
because the off-topic is not visible now at front, you need to "dig" for it... people come here to relax... guests can't see the off-topic and that should be enough... off-topic was always fun straight at front...

Why do you need to dig for it? Just click on "Off-Topic Lounge", it's right there. You're certainly not forced to use the checker.

Points noted.

Lizus, LOL. Not at all :) No, I asked questions, pgtx. I wasn't suggesting I'd get individual attention, only the vain think that way :(

I was trying to be positive :)

Good, so no digging. Anyway, it's something Admin is trying out. It may stay, it may not. When points are made for and against something they are always read and considered.

Regarding the Checker. Admin and Mods do use this as a tool for checking the most recent messages posted on the forum (since we last checked the Checker) and because we find it a very useful and effective tool we promote it as such to other members who might not have time to trawl through latest discussions to find the threads and forums they have been following or are interested in. Certainly moderating the whole forum would be nearly impossible without the Checker. No one is forced to use it but it's certainly useful to a lot of members.

This format will take time to get used to.

I can see why it is being experimented with.

lets face it, some times this forum is being used like a slow chatroom (I am also guilty of this).

And as the forum becomes more popular, there are many people who would actually like to discuss and find out about Poland (Polish forums, lest we forget).

I will reserve my judgement on whether I like this format or not, until I get used to it or not.
But I think the concept is a good one, at least it tries to be fair to all of us.
