I just don't understand why people can't appreciate the huge amount of work a small number of people have put into the forum upgrade... It's so easy to be positive and support this free forum that everyone uses... Instead a bunch of keyboard warriors have just moaned about it like a bunch of little bitches.

Do you realise how much peeps have put into this forum re technical information over the years ?
Not myself, I just act like a daft **** but peeps like buster, datatek, james martin, BoB lol

the info is there amongst the fun however you use it.
its not facebook. Well it wasn't

Being a Noob probably doesn't give me the right to comment on changes, but as an active member on some other boards using vBulletin software, I have to admit this software is rather, erm, 'different'. I'm not sure if I like it or not, but I'm sure it will grow on me.

Being a firm believer of the 'if it ain't broke, don't make it any worse' ethos, I'm not convinced that XenForo software is any easier to navigate, but its certainly different!

Anyway, I'm not sure if that is praise or criticism, more of a 'sitting on the fence' stance, so ill crawl back under the rock from whence I came now.....

Your on here so your entitled to an opinion like anyone else in my eyes mate

@Nig , earlier on, did you actually say something complimentary about James Martin? $^&* me.

Pompey68 · Jul 27, 2015

Just another quick observation, but is all this wasted space actually necessary?

@Pompey68 I assume it's because the logo is compressed from its full version in landscape.

blue beasty · Jul 27, 2015

I like the way the header leaves the toolbars at the top of the screen when it's scrolled off the page

it goes to a small version after a little scroll down, which you need to do in order to read the posts.. tis fine imo.

userinfo could do with a tweak imo re space

I'm not sure how it can be less clear, we've stripped all the messy graphics and made it nearly all text. I'm not sure how to make things any easier to read or clearer. Suggestions welcome.

I think it's great.
I just find the white sections behind the text a bit bright so I can't peruse the forum for as long as I'd like to.

Sometimes those that don't like something need to be constructive in their criticism if they wish their views to be taken into account.

If for example 1 person posts 'don't like it cos it's s**t' while another person posts 'don't like it cos it's hard to read and navigate' which one is the useful criticism that can help the forum to evolve.

Yes some peeps need to wind their necks in but remember that those peeps are actually defending the forum rather than attacking other members.

Did the new forum lose its sense of humour too ?

I notice accyroy mentioned that the forum had been stripped down to mainly text to make it less complicated.
That may be a good thing in some ways and suit some and others like myself may find it bland and soulless.
The old forum had sigs and showed members online in all forum, section and thread which imo felt more like you weren't the only one posting, the other one had character and felt open where as this one feels enclosed and claustrophobic if that makes sense ?

Good luck with it and joking aside I hope it works. And I don't like seeing anyone leave for whatever reason.

With threats from newer media such as FB where its easy to signup and create groups etc, this forum needs to modernise to stay relevant. Is there any need though? We could all just stop using the likes of LZ and shift to the FB. Those groups do have some obvious knowledge in them, but are mainly full of dross from people who obviously haven't a clue about much at all and missing that LZ character. So I'd suggest that mouthy people who obviously don't know squiddly sheeite about change take the time to think about what that change means to people who have been using and contributing to this forum for many years.

I'm sure (hope) the people who have updated this system have taken into account those people who obviously have issues with its styling. They may not be in a position, or want to, do anything about it at the moment, but I'm sure that feedback has been stored away and will be of benefit when future changes are made.

The biggest reason this forum is so successful is people's input, but that is closely followed by the way it is moderated by a few. They don't screw the content down to PC dross, nore let content get out of hand, or impose their own beliefs on the content. They are very good at what they do - the forum will die a lot quicker than succumbing to FB if ignorant wannabe (although they deny it) mods take over the reigns.

I'm a big fan of specialist forums over Facebook. I've seen many a forum close only to open on facecrap which is a shame imho

this has got sigs mate, just off by default, tick here to see them https://www.landyzone.co.uk/account/preferences

set your own here https://www.landyzone.co.uk/account/signature

home page shows the current members online.. maybe worthwhile sticking it on every page

thing is this is still new, the other one had years of mods on it. give it a bit and this one will start being modded as well and will give it more character

I am allways on my phone and it will probably look better on pc/laptop.
I did see my sigs had been imported but read someone mentioning they weren't enabled like other add ons but obviously wrong info

Probably slow my phone down anyway. Lol
cheers trax
