Please stop moaning

Monkey_Chinchilla

The first rule of comping is positive mental attitude. 

The format is new, there are going to be teething problems, but if you have constructive feedback use the dedicated thread. 

As a regular poster of comps, I actually find the new format easier to use so maybe it will encourage more people to post comps.
I’ve seen a lot of people saying they’ve lost the will to comp since the changes. Personally it is people’s negativity that is getting me down not the changes. 
I understand we are creatures of habit and it’s frustrating getting your head around new things but the changes are designed to make things better in the long run so cut the guys at MSE some slack.

But ... but wasn't that a long moan?

THANK YOU! @Monkey_Chinchilla

I like the new layout too. I find it much clearer and has a much more up to date feel.

Of course it was but is different i guess because they're opinion is more important than the rest of us plebs.

You all need to remember IMO this section is not money saving, so my guess is you are lucky to have it at all,  it could well have been cut out all together with the new change.

Embrace the changes and love each other

the comp section is the biggest section on MSE, i dont think they would want to lose what brings most people to the forum

I make no apologies. I hate this new forum. Hate it.

I'm tempted to start a new thread:
Go on, have a good moan!
Love your the mice joke, strawberri_shortcake!

I didn't like it to begin with but I'm beginning to find solutions and work-arounds to some of my initial annoyances, and now I quite like it.

 I find the only way forward right now is to use the bookmark to mark comps you have done or don't want to do, this saves the time it otherwise takes to open up every post, but then you need to change your email on here to one you never look at so as to save yourself all the resulting messages and if anyone has a better idea I'd be grateful to hear it.
