General discussion

What exactly happened to the forum?

Feb 23, 2006 8:04AM PST

Could you guys at CNET tell us maybe what was done to the forum software? It REALLY feels a lot more laggy and buggy than it was before the "upgrade." Sorry we keep going on about it but I know throughout the course of my day, I only have a moment here & there to sneak in and out of my browser quickly to check on the discussions and when it's so slow, I give up and go back to my projects.

What are you trying to do? Make me more productive or something?

PS can you get forum software to allow us to BOLD text words? Capitals make it sound really loud and angry.

Guess it's not just me having problems. I agree with you Kevin. The forums seem a lot buggier since the "upgrade." Maybe it's time for a downgrade.

No More Forum Sneak Attacks

Yea, I agree. This was definitely a step in the wrong direction. I've never loved the way the forum worked, but at least it worked before. Now I have to log out and back in every time I visit the forum so the system actually knows I'm logged in.

I know I must sound like a broken record, broken record, broken record... Wink

I have to log in over and over too.

Not so it knows I'm logged in, but because all the icons have gone wonky.

We need our daily fix of the BOL forums.
