@Lakshmi7 please stay Laks I think a lot of us on here would agree this forum will never be the same without you

Dear Fellow Compers,

I've been frozen out of my account since the changeover.  I created a new account last night, and I tried to post, and  it was  no longer fun, so unless MSE changes  its new format, I won't be posting.

I feel  like  I'm letting  MSE down, but  posting should be enjoyable.

Good Lick All!!!

@Lakshmi7
I can only echo what everyone else is saying you are a mainstay of this forum and without you and your excellent posting I do not think it has much longevity....I was very much part of the moaning brigade up till yesterday morning and then I decided I needed to pull my big girl pants on and persevere through everything I missed from Friday onwards....granted it took ages as I had to open every thread to click skipped on loads but once I got into it, it wasn't too bad....the two things I hope are being sorted are 200 posts per page and bringing the skipped/entered onto main thread list so you don't have to open each individual thread!

For those mentioning screen. Have you tried blue light filter? Theres usually a setting to enable it on a lot of devices now. Sometimes it is described as night light filter other times blue light filter.

Really sorry to hear this laks but I completely understand. I'm going to give elsewhere a go for my main comping for now then will come back here to see if changes have been made. 

A little gadget called 'Pangolin screen brightness' can be downloaded free to adjust the brightness and hue of the screen to whatever you choose - I change mine throughout the day and according to the weather, very useful and much better than the windows built-in one.

I'm totally fine with the entering, can work a way around it no problem but posting has become a pain & I totally understand why you feel this way Laks - I love posting as much as entering but been totally put off by the amount of time it takes compared to how it used to be - it's created quite a bit more work. I'm crossing everything that MSE iron out these issues soon so we can all go back to how it was.

I'm glad you're well & take care honey, thanks for all the posts over these years. The board truly will not be the same without you & your dedication

@Lakshmi7 Please don't give up on us yet! There are lots of glitches which are gradually being ironed out, some of which were predictable, others not so. The forum team have been busy all weekend, and lots has been improved already, they know that the Competition Board is different, and are working on ways round problems. Give it a few days and try again maybe?

Thanks for all that you have done for everyone @Lakshmi7 & hopefully in time (and bugs sorted) you will be back in a user friendly system that is suitable to post/use!

Rather than open each thread to click Skipped, I just click the little bookmark symbol next to E: 10/2 (for example), it turns blue and then I know I've seen this thread before!

I hope that you have made sure that email notification for bookmarked threads is not clicked in your Notifications otherwise you may get an email every time someone posts in any thread you have bookmarked.

  I will miss you. Some times on a sleepless night at 5 am it felt like it was only you out there posting away . I am very sorry to see you go, it  feels like I am lossing a freind as dramatic as that sounds. Take care

Laks, I just want to add my sincere thanks to everyone else's. If you stop posting comps here, you will be very much missed, but I completely understand what you are saying. Posting as much as you do, it has to feel rewarding, or what's the point? I hope that you perhaps consider taking a little time before making your final decision, just in case things improve here. But whatever you decide, I am sure that most MSE compers feel like I do and are nothing but grateful for all you have done for us.

Best wishes
