It may be my imagination but it seems that the total number of posts has fallen off recently or a lot of folks don't like the new format. I will chalk it up to the Holyday Season for now.

Re: slow posts
I agree. Plus it seems like a majority of recent posts are related to the forum update.

Re: slow posts
Agree! Also guys like me that really want to post, but have had understanding issues with the new format and problems using what we think we learned.

I think there are a number of things at work causing the apparent slow down. New format. Holidays. Cold weather (keeps some out of the shop).

Re: slow posts
I think the new forum is faster.
Tis the posters that are slow!
And the 'season'. Too many 'distractions'!

Re: slow posts
I do not believe that the number of viewers is significantly less than it has always been. There may, however, be a perception to the contrary because the "WHO IS ONLINE" list is a lot shorter. Names are dropped from this list almost immediately after a viewing member either logs off or turns his/her computer off. That was not always the case with the previous software.
I often viewed the site from one of my daughters computers and found my name listed as being online when "Dusty" was not. That does not happen with the current software.
I do notice a lot of unnecessary blank space in some posts. Maybe that is slowing things down.

Re: slow posts
I am here, if that makes any difference ....
I find the new system both good and bad. I am just about to finish a new coffee table (my first table), I hope to post pictures next week.
Sooo, howdy to those who are looking!

Re: slow posts
In any event, the number of posts is less recently.

Re: slow posts
I've not been posting as much, some of it due to this new format which I don't love yet. A couple of things are bugging me, first I have a lot of "white" space while in full screen mode. And second the signature portion is a distraction to me. I'm trying to use the shopsmith version so it is what it is.

Re: slow posts
I don't know that. How many posts have there been in a typical day since the software change? How Many yesterday? How many times have I posted since December 15?JPG wrote:In any event, the number of posts is less recently.
I don't know. I can't find the metric.
CLUES: Maybe it is tucked away in the "Advanced Search" function OR in "View New Posts"
