Where is everyone? Has anyone else noticed the slowness

Hi @BelairPlayer

Thanks, but I mean it would open on that page for me. Probably still can be set that way, if I bother to look.

I had a colonoscopy last week…is it my fault the site’s wobbling?

 

[ChicknPickn]

Feeling a little guilty about hoarding strings.

Best part of the thread!

 

[soundchaser59]

I'm here and that's what matters.

That certainly puts me at ease.

 

[Ron R]

Yes, I've noticed it too.
This is just my opinion, but the new format doesn't lend itself as easily to seeing what's new and chiming in. ANd more effort = less likely to participate for many folks, self included.

Football playoffs.

Bingo! That's what it is. I was going to post the same thing, but memorex beat me to it.

(Bingo as in correct. I'm not suggesting that people are playing bingo instead of posting here.)

Hi.

I can’t remember the specifics, but I always had the old style site to display the ‘new posts’ page or some such.

I’m not sure, but maybe you can’t do that now. If I go hunting around actual individual sub-forums, I feel like I’m seeing more stuff going on. I’m wondering if something about the structure / design of the new version is hiding stuff or limiting what crosses my line of sight? Dunno, but I kinda get that feeling.

This is it, precisely. I have to hit ‘new posts’ and then ‘what’s new’ to get back to where I used to go under the old format with only one step. Then I have to hit ‘more’ if I want to see more than like 10 threads.

site suicide?

imo.

The recent “ upgrades “ have slowed me down quite a bit
They seemed to suck the fun out of everything

 

[StrangerNY]

I don't notice any additional slowness post-upgrade. The site has always been a little pokey for me.

It's because this new format sux.

 

[stormsedge]

I took a break last night.

Time for a toast ?

 

[Greggorios]

I've noticed too, but it's hard to describe it. Overall it just seems things are a little less "energetic" in general here but I didn't link it to the system upgrades. Maybe just the natural ebb and flow of people and life. I've noticed a similar "stagnation" in energy in non-online life too. Perhaps just the winter doldrums. Cold as a witch's broomstick in so many places doesn't help either.

Ha,ha, just start a thread on Noiseless Pickups, everyone will be back in an hour, promise.

 

[JIMMY JAZZMAN]

Like everything else, if it ain't broke, we'll fix it anyway. The forums new format takes a tad of learning
curve to achieve total bliss, OR everyone went to Florida.....but they'll comeback, be rest assured.

Cold, snow, power outages, go figure something using up my spare time

Post-holiday blues, football, getting bit and the new format. Those are my excuses.
