96RAF Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 There are 46 folks with dodge as part of their username including one lady called 'dodge' who grabbed that in 2011 but has never posted on the forum. Sorting you out will be an Admin job and not really a forum posting matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodge1965 Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 (edited) Ok thanks , So if i wanted to change to something totally different, is that an Admin task as well?? Edited February 16 by Dodge1707823134 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geordi_q Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 How come a simple forum site becomes to complicated to use I find it to hard to navigate and I will try for a couple of days if unable to use it. I will no longer bother to use it Gordon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rog RJ Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 (edited) I'm starting to get used to it but it could be so much better and easier to navigate. RMWEB is a great example of how to do it. Edited February 16 by Rog RJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What About The Bee Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 The big challenge for most everyone is that it is different. Being used to doing things one way, and then being told to do it another way. It is just a new tool. We will get used to it soon enough. Go with the flow.

Rog RJ Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 Yes I know it's the same platform. Just so badly implemented here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LTSR_NSE Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 Personally I believe there are two significant advantages to this forum over RMWeb… • zero adverts - yet still entirely free to use! • far less of a “the correct/only way to model is…” attitude levelled at those who merely seek info about a particular model. I realise/appreciate that RMWeb was only mentioned to recommend interface improvements. However I wouldn’t want anyone at Hornby to get the wrong idea & discard this forum’s qualities!

81F Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 From a visually impaired point of view the Old forum layout was excellent, but I am not sure about this one. The text seems fainter and the various tick boxes for the different subjects is smaller and not so easy to read. However, I'll give it a chance as it is still clearer than RM web.

ColinB Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 Most of the time on RMWeb I hardly notice the adverts, in fact sometimes they have shown me something I didn't know about. There is always the "x" button somewhere to get rid of it. RMWeb is ok, you do get the passionate ones that get wound up over something trivia, I even had a couple complaining about the use of "stay alive", but that is life there are always people around like that. This upgrade works, I don't think it is much of an improvement over the old one. It is harder to get started and not so easy to do a quick scan to see what is going on. The plus point is it seems faster. Trouble is, IT guys think differently to most and what they think is easy is generally not. What they should do is take them away for 6 months to do something different and then bring them back to use the product they wrote, then they would understand.

RB51 Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 Up to you but you will lose your posting history. Might be better to wait until we can either get a fix for you or ask an Admin to do it. R- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
