Have started a wee feedback thread if anyone else is experiencing difficulties with the latest forum 'upgrade'. Love this place so much but it is getting more and more unusable 😪

Things do seem to be getting messier and messier on the forum. It does feel a bit like change for change's sake

I had noticed that too. Diaries I’d subscribed to that hadn’t been updated for years were at the top of my list. I’ve rectified that by sorting them in order but everything still looks a bit odd. Why do they have to keep changing things for the worse 🤷♀️
I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping) -.literally have been run over by a bike, mobility scooter and a car - still here 💪6 -
Thank you for starting that thread. The new 'upgrade' is awful. I hope they listen! It's not even 'a bit different but we'll get used to it'. It's just bizarre!
