I wish they would stay fucking still as they did under the old interface - kept their place in the order based on the time of submission of the OP

That and a tree view of each entire page of each board would go a long way to fix at least the appearance of this dogs breakfast TER has given us....

Give it a rest you are suppose to be retiring from TER. Damn when did you hit 100 and I didn't get to congratulate you.

My Bad

Too the next 100!!!!

KJ

for the congrats....

I don't know about the next 100 tho..... the first 100 took me two years and a couple of months.  Don't know if I"ve got that much left in my lol.....

Cheers

Just use the classic version and leave the "pig's abortion" alone.

Then for a limited time....view the boards and don't be frustrated.

Then...when they switch over...just stop participating in the boards. If only we could get everyone to do that....and the post counts go in the shitter...then they'd get the hint.

Too many chronics around here though. Would never get that to happen. Some of these people need the boards like air.

and that is that since the boards are not a profit center for TER, but in fact are a maintenance headache. they don't give a shit of they are easier to use or not.  Look at the crap they're putting their own mods thorugh with this interface....

And of course the board addicts will keep posting the same shit over and over and over again til the lights go out forever.....

Don't forget to have a strong cup of coffee with you when you open up TER in the morning. Your local news may not change much

It is beyond crazy. Who came up this brilliant idea?

FIX THIS CRAZY SHIT!

The more people will use and stick with the classic version of TER, the longer the nerds that created the new version will feel they need to keep it available - internet traffic will determine that. Timne to remind new folks of this!!

Not getting this complaint at all.  This is how *most* Forums work online.

Also... this style also helps lower the amount of "duplicate threads" as well as making it easier to follow an on-going debate/conversation between multiple parties.  In other words, topics that are most commenting on/replied on are pushed to the top.  WHy is this so hard to understand?

You guys actually prefer to hunt and peck through MULTIPLE pages to continue on conversations/debates that you've had on topics on this forum?

I don't.

I don't.
I totally agree with you.  A LOT of forum use this messaging bumping (ie. adultdvdtalk.com and jerkoffzone.com) without complaints.  Makes on-going debates easier to view since you don't have to go through mutliple pages.

I prefer it.  Give it time and I think you'll agree

Yes, and its why I hate most forums, and don't spend any time on them. Most people eat at fast food restaurants compared to 5 star restaurants too. Should all the 5 star resaurants out there have their servers start saying "yew want fries wit dat?" just because that is what everyone else does?

The only thing that bumping a post to the top after a reply does is turn train wrecks (which we are very good at creating) into cataclysmic train wrecks. Meanwhile, any dumb SOB unfortunate enough to try to create a new post while a few train wrecks are in progress gets shuffled halfway down the page 5 seconds after his post is written.

Pecking through multiple pages to continue a discussion? Give me a break. This board isn't quite that active. It usually takes a good 3-4 days for most posts to get bumped off the first page, usually long after any meaningful discussion has long since concluded on its own.

*MOST* discussion boards suck wind through a straw, precisely because they employ the same format that TER just adopted. This is one of the only forums I participate on anymore precisely because it DOESN'T follow that format.

"Yes, and its why I hate most forums, and don't spend any time on them. Most people eat at fast food restaurants compared to 5 star restaurants too. Should all the 5 star resaurants out there have their servers start saying "yew want fries wit dat?" just because that is what everyone else does?"

The comment that concerns me here is what you so eloquently quoted as “yew want fries wit dat?" Stop and think for a moment what you just said. It would not be any less racist than if I were to quote in broken my poor Spanish "Desea fríe con eso".  We all have to keep working to improve issues with racism in this county.

Comments made even by accident, which form an opinion or connote that only black people are at low paying jobs taking orders at McDonald's or for that matter Wendy's and Burger King etc. Today, Ebonics as part of discussion forum posts is improper.

Really?  On an adult fuck board we have to conform to PC now?

You are welcome to your opinions on the subject. You are welcome to express them. But *lecturing* someone for not conforming to your sensitivities on an Adult Fuck Board, owned by someone else....

Now that's Chutzpah

I made simple comments. The fact is it does not get any simpler than a racist comment straight up.

You can choose to ignore it if you choose. I chose to make a comment just like you are free to do "on a fuck board". Actually, who cares who owns it? That is not the point whatsoever.

"Chutzpah" indeed. Actually the audacity of ignorance ranks right up there as well. Look who's lecturing!

Only the GoodTimingMan has any authoritative comments on the fuck board though, right?

Sorry to piss in your Wheaties so early in the morning. I'm done with this discussion. Thanks

or with anyone else

I'm merely offering the opinion that it is petty pissy to come on this board and lecture someone for saying something that you interpret as racist.   That topic belongs on P&R *if anywhere*.

Just my opinion - which I expressed.  :-D you are free to disagree!

I'm bloody well tired of the PC crowd on this board. And I was surprised to find you among them. I've always enjoyed your posts and your perspective.

And will continue to do so and to appreciate your perspective -

WHEN you aren't whining about someone else's lack of conformity to YOUR sensitivities lol...

GTM

Regarding belonging on the P & R board that is pretty hard to do once a thread has become active with lots of posts. After all, the only way it can be moved is by moving the OP, which in this care would be unfair.

I could also, as perhaps you are suggesting, copy the link and start a whole new thread on the P & R board. Personally that is not my style and would never consider that. Mainly because the drama on the P & R board is way more than I want to digest.

So you and I have hijacked this thread unfortunately. So I will leave it as we can certainly disagree and also respect each others opinions and view on subjects. Thanks

OMG...  talk about "WHITE - Knight"  and also out of touch. That's representative urban man. The young white, black, brown in my family talk like that. The adults in the color spectrum don't.
You have no fucking clue.

Ok... to each their own.  I disagree.  I guess we'll have to agree to disagree.  I understand your argument, but just b/c everyone else does it, doesn't necessarily always mean that it's bad.  Sometimes, it's a GOOD thing.

Again....  you seem to perpetuate this (as well as others) already.  How would making the topic move to the top make that much of a difference?  Sorry, I'd rather have one thread of a debate rather than 10.

That's not my experience.  I don't come here every 5 minutes, so for me jumping around trying to keep up w/ board debate/conversation in the old way was HUGELY annoying.  Sorry, again I highly disagree.

I'd rather have all of the most commented topics at the top.  Why?  Because it makes sense, because this is where most people are talking, and hence this prevents duplicate threads from appearing.  Again, agree to disagree.

I disagree...  perhaps you should venture out more beyond TER?

Sounds like you have a grudge and not willing to change more than anything.

*shrugs*

Khori's bouncing is really enjoyable and fun. Thread bouncing is irritating as hell. No wonder all the other boards doesn't have as many regular visitors.

Simple solution would be subscriptions - as most boards also have - when you post you can choose to subscribe to the thread through email or through pm  - then a link to the thread gets sent to you every time a comment is made. Going through pages to find a thread you are interested in or posted on is time consuming. A simple subscription option would make it much better.

Thank you but NO. My mail is already full of useless crap I instantly delete without readin. This solution would just make a bad format even worse. God help us, I hope the folks at TER don't read your reply. They'll jump on it.

How about just leave the g/damned post where it started, so I can go right back to where I know it was. Most threads resolve themselves naturally in a day or two anways. Further discussion just becomes a rehash of points already made.

This thread though, is a perfect example of why this disucssion format blows chunks. Here we are 4 days after the original thread was posted and its back ot the top again. Everything that needs to be said has pretty well been said, but there it is, like a booger you can't flick off your finger, just taking up space and burying newer threads. On the classic view, this thread is over nd done with, and that's how it should be for most threads.

this way the interesting posts keep at top and the boring ones drop.  You dont have to back track a couple days to find them.
