it's getting ridiculous now isn't it instead of making it easier to use the forums there making it a nightmare to navigate :mad:

why don't they ask what the forum members want instead of implementing the changes willy nilly

it seems to me that whoever is making the changes doesn't use the forum very often because if they did they wouldn't even think about making the current changes let alone implement them!

agreed - especially when people complained they said that the reason for the changes was to make it easier to navigate!!! :mad:

seriously, i agree Amilucky, i keep pressing the wrong ones even though taking it slowly :rolleyes: is anyone else's screen very large across, i've shrunk the size view down but the pages seem to be spread right over & have to keep scrolling across to read it all :huh:

I not only have the abuse button now also have the like it button as well, and also at the top so 4 buttons at the bottom and the thanks button squeezed in between

I usually get the screen that you mention when someone has posted an overly large url it doesn't usually last very long and it usually reverts back to normal without any user intervention

Have just started entering the comps and since they have added the 4th button my comping experience couldn't get any worse :mad:

when you go back to a comp that you have already entered it's hard to see at a glance whether or not you have already thanked and entered the comp

the new changes will I fear lead to loads of MSE compers being disqualified for multiple entries and will also result in a lot of false clicks on the other buttons

I would much prefer the text message interface plain and simple with the following buttons ]

and the other buttons SPAM - EXPIRED- LIKE IT - REPLY at the bottom of the text message interface (outside of the main box)

How do I get rid of all these stupid buttons. They are making navigating around this form more and more difficult!

Short answer is you cannot :mad:

but you have given me a very good idea maybe they could have tick boxes in the "User Control Panel" "Settings & Options" for the buttons then you could have as many or as few buttons as you want

What's the point of the 'Like It' button? Does anyone bother using it? :mad:

no, it would take even longer to do comps
