Yeah people can write on their blogs instead of starting a thread about every little random thought that passes through their heads.

Might cut out some of the inane crap.

Are blogs open to all or just the FMs on their 'friends' list?

they are open to all as far as i can see. i can read them all. and crock posted on mine. maybe you can change settings for buddies but i not got that far yet.

I've already posted my concerns over the layout of the Livecloud forum over there, but I think an analogy is needed to further state my point.

Imagine this forum in it's current style is an Aston Martin DB9.

Now when we move over to the new place, and the change in style is complete, it'll be like switching to a Robin Reliant.

Forums stopped looking like that years ago, it is archaic...

That is the equivalent of, say, the "UK Lounge". Topics sorted by most recently posted in order. Go take a look. It is different to here.. it will take some getting used to and quoting is an absolute mare but if that is all the choice is get used to it


Z.

I know you've said it a few times, but how do you know? Has anyone cnfirmed that to you? I'm aware that they probably won't have a great variety of designs, but why are you so sure that it will be EXACTLY like that?

Yes Steven confirmed it in one of the support threads


Z.

Ah, I see. Well I haven't read every bit of every thread over there, so that must be one of the bits I didn't look at.

No.. the content will remain but the format will change to look very much like this...

Obviously none of us are privy to the contents of your discussions with Rosemary, but your earlier posts in this thread made it sound very much like you were talking on behalf of other FMs, which is what I took exception to.

No Growlybear I am CONCERNED about all the forum members not SPEAKING FOR them. Can you see the difference? Its difficult on a forum to get the intonation in what we say, I have nothing but the best intentions to everyone on here whether they like me or not. I care passionately about this forum and the people on it. I don't want to see the more confident people striding forwards and the more diffident ones just quietly giving up and slipping away.

Yes, I am quite capable of seeing the difference between concern and speaking for the forum, and I don't doubt that you have the best intentions. But when you make sweeping comments such as 'as do most of the people on this forum' I see that as speaking on behalf of FMs, not just expressing your concern. Quite honestly, I really don't care if the format is changed, and I know that a number of other people aren't concerned by the changes either. I completely accept that there are also many people who don't like change, and they are, of course, entitled to make whatever representations they wish to the moderators. But please don't assume that everyone is opposed to the changes; like many other people, this is just one of many fora that I use, and I appreciate the fact that people give up their time and energy to provide a free forum for people to use.

[Thanks Sky. I know its silly to get upset. But this is being done for commercial reasons. And yes I know that the internet isn't a charity but Eve Communities supports forums just like this one. And thanks to Olly I realise that we probably won't be able to have that as it costs money to provide and we are not cost effective, hence the change to Live Cloud. Just sad that's all.

Squiggle, don't be sad. I've just had another look over there and I'm getting along ok with the Forum. That said, I'm the kind of person who has a mobile phone for phoning and the occasional text if I have to..... I'm not interested in all the bells and whistles. Likewise with the new site - I'm going straight into the forum, can post, reply and edit, and hopefully will still be able to keep in touch with EVERYBODY. I hope you get used to it and stick around.

See I hated this format for ages when I first joined CH4 cos it was so different to any other forum I'd ever used.

Do you ever hear me moan about it? Did you? Did You?

You have to highlight the sentence you're quoting then click 'reply' It doesn't quote the OP's name though.

Over there you quote by highlighting the bit of text you want to quote and it comes out looring similar to this.

i.e.
does not give the name of who you are quoting and says REFERENCE rather than QUOTE. The exactitudes will depend on your browser. (IE, Firefox etc.,)

ohhh theres a few blogs that have already got us talking with the americans *grabs lippy*

If you highlight all of it including the name, it will do. Not the best way of quoting, but at least we can quote

thank you

ted o'neil's post on the temporary forum we had before this one, says they will be migrating to a social site.

so it was always on the cards to be moving.

i've been over to live cloud and it's a bit boggly at fist, but keep clicking on stuff and you find your way around.

as others are saying, it is being tweaked to improve the user experience, and i enjoy the blogs , loads of names from here are over there, so get in there and give it a go.

When you first complete your profile everything is open to everyone, but as far as I can remember you can restrict it to your own choice of viewers via your 'preferences'

Sorry, but what forum example?

This is the LiveCloud forum, which is rubbish

http://support.livecloud.com/d...t/116825174520598687

No, that is the support forum, which is the only forum there at the moment, but I have seen nothing to indicate that our forum WILL or WILL NOT look the same.

I am having trouble laoding the forum today so this may have already been answered.. but basically Steve said it WILL look like the format over there not like it is now..

he posted that in the sticky they put in here which is now just in the Community Announcements part AND over in the LiveCloud Support forum which is where we have all been trying to iron out the bugs etc pending the 'move'....

Z.

We do Zaph, it's called Private Messaging.

Yes but isn't that just to one person at a time?

Z.

No, you can add as many or as few people as you like.

if you highlight the text up to and including the posters name it will be included in the quote..

or you could type it in yourself

It's all a bit 'scattergun' at the moment. It's a case of having to seek out posts from people you may know. All I will need is a definite routemap to the BB forum in there, the rest I can take or leave as I already have Facebook.
