Hate being negative but the new layout is dire

You cannot see immediately who is posting and what about.

It also gives the impression that nothing new is being posted given the age of the posts that you do actually see immediately.

You also need to be careful about the really old posts (the ones identified around 2007 and 2008) as the legal environment is very different and may be caught under the right to be forgotten.


The IVA privacy policy also need to reflect the data protection provision linked to data subjects actually placing information about themselves into the public domain.

Thank you RBT -- I have mentioned a couple of issues to the administrators and will pass this on also.

Are you also getting glitches with functionality (error messages and drop downs not dropping down) or is that just me ?

I'm glad it's not just me thinking it!

It seems like an old school message board, with those ancient pinned posts at the top, so I wondered if there had been a point the site admins had reverted to an old old version of the site coding.

Don't know about drop downs Foggy as I use mobile view. It wouldn't let me log on with my email address and password either, I had to enter my username.

It's not just you! Even the moderators are struggling with the new unannounced layout.

Stick with it ...hopefully the comments fed back by admin will be listened to and further changes will be made

oh thank goodness not just me!
Didnt look like there had been any new posts or replies to other postsfor a couple of days.
Very confusing. Old mixedwith new, not clear whats been posted most recently or when a new reply received.
Hope sorted soon.

Struggling with the new setup - cant find the log in icon (I had to press reply for it to fetch me up)
It might be my PC but the search icon didn't work.

We have just had a nightmare software change at work - from something user friendly to a nightmare that nobody can use so at least this is not that bad.

It the post new thread removed?

Give me a clue on how to produce new thread / question ?

Trying to stay positive here but the new layout is not helping forum members at all ... admin please review urgently
