No, sorry. This isn’t working and I can’t see it working for me. All the fun has gone out of TFK with this shit. The pagination thing is a disaster as far as I can see. You’re basically fucking up access to some of the best content on the internet.
The ratings - for fucks sake, ratings were half the fun. A post with 7 Well Clamped ratings was thing of beauty.
I am also seeing posts by myboycunt. Why the fuck is the ignore function gone?
TFK is turning into Snapchat. Fuck this shit.
Sorry Rocko, I don’t like it at all.
That’s because all the links are broken. In time, I might fix them. In time, google should fix them anyway. But the new search function is definitely better.
That’s a desktop notification. It’s handy because it notifies you if you’re browsing elsewhere on the web but get tagged here. It’s probably more useful if you have a more passive notification setting. But it can be turned off anyway in preferences.
Or if you’re on phone, it’s at the bottom which might be miles and miles of scrolling away so I’ll see if that can be changed. Meantime, just dismiss next time you’re on desktop, or switch to desktop view for a moment and you’ll see the button at the top.
How is access any worse than it was before? It’s much easier to see recent content than it was before. If you want to just arbitrarily jump to page 300 then that’s not easy but I can’t see why you’d want to do it. I’m sure I can figure something out if it had a use but I don’t see any use case for it. Particularly with search being improved.
I do, sort of. But I made such a balls of the old forum that I might be in trouble. And that had loads of redirects in it from the previous address anyway when we moved to friendly URLs. I’ll look into it but I’m not as dedicated to SEO and that malarky because I find it incredibly boring and ultimately unfulfilling. I’d much rather spend my time annoying people by taking away pages.
It shows at the top right what it is a response to. So you can see who it is responding to. If you want to read it, then click it and you see the content if the responder hasn’t quoted it.
I’m not dismissing your complaint: just most people are complaining that they’re not seeing enough quoted text, you’re seeing too much of it.
They’re not mutually exclusive so you can all be right, but I think plenty of the distress is caused by just not being as familiar with this presentation and you’ll soon(ish) get used to it.
There are some settings, that can tweak it slightly. E.g
If post 3 is a response to post 2 then there is no icon to show that currently because it should be obvious that successive posts are replies to one another unless otherwise stated. But that can be changed if people are confused by that helpful inconsistency.
You’ve also done a great disservice to two stalwarts of TFK. Two guys who in recent years have been there through thick and thin, and captured for the mood of the forum in a way words never could:
