I don't fancy LC myself but I'll give it a go when this place closes.
Ultimately I think we'll end up scattered to the four corners of the web though.

This place is not closing down, it's just moving house. The internet address that gets you here will continue to get you here, though you MAY have to go through the Live Cloud hallway.

No we won't ... if people stop feeding the pessimistic, defeatist view of what is actually happening ... the forum is NOT closing ... and it's not the end of the world to get used to a different forum layout ... I wasn't old enough to experience the panic that took hold when decimilisation was introduced, but I DID survive the changeover to the Euro ... and I came out of that relatively unscathed ... It's never as bad as it's made out to be ...
*Disclaimer* - crap analogy ... but it's late ... and I'm going to bed now ...
Most of the people have not changed over to the Euro!

you make it sound so simple dont you? pity that you forget to also mention that whilst you can read the posts from here you will loose pretty much everything that makes this place a forum, tell you what, why dont myself and the rest of us that have problems with meet up withyou and tayto and ea in the livecloud version of the oasis chat room so we can all discuss it in private?
oh thats right, we cant because some cant log in, some cant find their way around and even if all that could be done the oasis isnt available over there is it, another of the great improvements that livecloud has made.

Well if you don't like LC about 40 people from here have become members of
thebighub.co.uk. All are welcome and if you don't like what you see, don't bother with it, no harm done. Zaphod is a mod on the forum.
Any and all are welcome on my forum too, but you won't see me posting the link all over the place.
BB I don't see the harm in giving FM's different options. I'm not giving up on anything but have joined thebighub to give myself options on where I post after the import/export.
If you wish to misread/misinterpret my post to another FM and respond in a somewhat snidey fashion, that is ,of course, your prerogative. Just as it is MY prerogative to make a lighthearted response to MrMeatAndPotatoPie.quote:Originally posted by Big Brothers Big Scam:quote:Originally posted by Extremely Fluffy Fluffy Thing:It's ok.

BTW, if you do absolutely nothing you WILL log in one day and find everything is over there. At no point have I denied that people are having problems, some moreso than others. But as neither of us are party to those problems it is not really for us to comment on the goodness or badness of anything.
Again I am not suggesting that people who are having problems should not let us know about them, but I feel it is totally out of order that some people are basically suggesting that you WILL have problems and that those problems WILL be horrendous.
But most of what you see over there is just the Social Network side of things, which you don't need to have anything to do with.quote:Originally posted by sunny dayz:quote:Originally posted by wonder:

What I`m disppointed in is seeing fm`s on here beginning to sqaubble over differences of opinion about livecloud. I`m even more disppointed to read fm`s on LC critising their fellow fm`s who are not moving over, for making goodbye threads on here. Others who don`t like the format are being called moans etc etc.

Or maybe half of them don't want to because I have seen people be given the same answer again and again and then they ask again.
Quite frankly I'm surprised some people are capable of turning their PC's on at all...if thew really don't get it...which I suspect they do but are just throwing their toys out of the pram because they cannot have the forum as they want it.

You can suspect all you want but you don`t know for a fact that that`s the case.
It`s certainly not in mine. I`ve asked questions more than once because I didn`t get it the first or even second time around. When they were explained in less techy terms I got it. I`m a technophobe. I don`t think I`m alone.

I am not computer savvy. I try but sometimes my brain just doesn't work. My boys can show me 50 times how to do something and I still don't get it. In the end they write out step by step instructions that would work for a 5 year old.quote:Originally posted by FGG Aka Crocodile Rock:quote:Originally posted by Scotty:

Even better. It`s obviously a big bugbear to you.
It took me a whole bloody day to register on live cloud weeks ago,depite PM's from Lori etc.Finally Sunnie and a few others helped me,I was using the same details from here it just kept rejecting my E-Mail addy.I had to fill in the registration form,so no,it was not automatic.
No, what makes my (and many many others) shit itch is people going on about keeping the forum we have when they have been told its not going to happen...change is coming...get over it and go with the flow or bog off really.

I don't mess with folders and such and I only download if my sons are here to help me.I even have a Aussie lad who calls me mom and he guides me like a 5 year old through the most basic computer operations.

I wouldn`t let what other people are saying about wanting to keep the forum "make my sh*t itch" that`s for sure.

This forum is NOT going. The content of this forum will be exactly the same'OVER THERE' as it is here. So if you have a title under your name here, it will probably still show when we're 'there'.quote:Originally posted by *BB*:quote:Originally posted by Scotty:
