classic.theeroticreview.com is the only way I can use this site. The new format is about as bad as I have seen. It seems to run slower, and at the end of the day this is a basic threaded discussion list, all the extra bells and whistles is not necessary IMHO.
As long as the classic format exists, I will continue to use it. After it's gone, I don't know...... I dislike the new format as much as anyone else, but who knows how long it will be around.
I have noticed a marked drop in posts on all forums because, I assume, of the general dislike of the new format. If this trend continues, I would guess the paid membership of TER will take a fairly large hit when the classic format is removed. Not sure what I will do. I have a long enough fave list to keep me going for quite a while.
If that happens, then how will we know when a lady (who we have not yet met and are not on her personal mailing list) is visiting our town? Or running a special?
Do you just want a board with posts full of bitching and complaining?
If you remove the ads, there is no reason for the board to exist.
This new format is VERY hard to work with. I find myself not even looking at a lot of posts because of the new format.
Anyone agree?
I would just like to see the ads moved elsewhere. There are too damn many of them. There have been times when I see a page of nothing but ads. Guess I did not realize how many ads were on these boards until the new format started flagging them with the 'ad' icon.
Kind of makes reading these boards useless as there is really little information of value any longer, just ad after ad after ad.
I have gotten used to it. I used classic for a couple days then decided to try new, its not so bad. They say its a glitch that the thread pops back to the top when some one posts a reply but I like that also, it keeps you caught up without having to look back. I think Ter is trying but the demographic group is not the 20 something that wants new and improved stuff all the time, basically set in their ways so change is not wanted when what you have works fine. I complain when get a replacement cell phone and they tell me my model is antique and not available any more, so I learn the new one. If ter wants more customers They sould go back to the days of partial reviews to entice more vip membership.
Just like classic Star Trek was loved by all, the newer versions were interesting and ultimately surpassed the orig. This might take a little initial effort, but think of it as boldly going where no man has gone before....
This turns out to be an interesting sociological experiment. A radical site change causes a variety of responses, from petulance to acceptance, and everything in between. All the points are reasoned and expressed clearly, but at some point we get back to our primary purpose of pursuing pleasure. The style of the forum should be the last thing on our minds...it's the ladies, guys, the ladies.
The issue isn't that anyone really doesn't want Ads.... it's that in light of the new formats and all the damn thread bumping that happens, the volume of ads get in the way.
I would rather see TER engineer a single thread for Ads and then force all Ads to appear beneath this single thread. Position it at the top of the board if you like, I don't care but at least this way the Ads are available to anyone who wants to look at them and all the clutter goes away, not to mention all the bumping whorewars that happen behind the scenes about this. I would have much rather seen this sort of solution than the one put in place on some boards requiring the use of the new TER to post Ads... Just my 02...
Reset this thread each week. Perhaps yet another job for mods.... lol
I have had to adapt many times over the years, one of my first bosses told me when things you can not control change dont waste time fighting it learn how to makes it work. that was 33 years ago.
Moved to Dallas 2 years ago and started using the popular boards here - aspd and now eccie - they work the way the new TER works and I never found them to be conducive to the kind of banter on TER. In fact, it was so confusing and time wasting when threads stayed alive for a couple of months - to see the most recent post which moved the whole thread to the top, you might have to go through 2 or 3 pages of post to the last one ?? at least have them in reverse order, most recent first.
But how does one go back to Classic??? I saw SoFla's link above - but when I logged back in - it's the new format - do I have to use SoFla's link everytime or is there a button / link?
