New Web Site Format

[toobfreak]

You can only “like” posts now? Too many snowflakes can’t handle being laughed at?

No, you can be angry or sad about a post, too... It looks a lot more like Facebook's like system.

I can't ever imagine being "angry" or "sad" over a post, except in very rare situations. But I can believe the Facebook thing, I believe this new software is designed to be standardized so as to be compatible with and interface with a data collection and rating system. Also, apparently the spell checker does not work now as you type and will not work properly until you save then go back into edit. Geesh. More typos.

Nothing is finished here. More work to do. I personally love changes, and hope you do as well!

Feedback here...

Kat, kudos to the new site....absolutely wonderful.

Between this, Covid-19 closures and restrictions, Liquor Stores being closed, etc., I think I might just stick an ice pick in my ear and end it now. Beautiful timing.

Can I borrow it when you're done?

Please pull ot out and clean it off before reusing. You know, just in case I have Covid-19. Don't want any cross-infections.

My "reaction score" (boy do I hate that term) went up, not down. So the angry button doesn't negate a point.
Here ya go. Clorox Wiped.

I am giving you an Informative Rating even though there is no Informative button.

Thank you.

No problem

I love what you're done with the place!

Yes what about that data collection? I do not approve, I have not given my permission, this is a violation of privacy.

Yes the Spell Check is crap and is not even working at ALL and the Edit function is also crap and with that I am now going. Do not like this do not trust this, call me paranoid I do not care, I do not know who owns this forum, we all know the mods but they don't own the forum, we have no idea who owns the forum who they are Partnering with to use data collection and also possible personal information on those who do Wrong Think the way Facebook and Twitter do.

So too many negatives now, minimal if zero positives. Under the previous format they could get basically zero information if you just used the PMs, it was only when you posted they could get all the data from members, who knows if the PMs are even safe from violations of privacy now? Oh well, keep on keeping on.

This place reminds me when my wife wants to rearrange furniture............it's an all day event........and your need to see a doctor aferwards.............not to mention that as you get tired of moving the stuff......

You go into the UH HUH .....yes dear......routine.....then she gets you with you not listening to me scenario.........

 

[Dr Grump]

That EVERYONES Ratings have been wiped must also have been to appease Snowflakes because they all seemed to have the lowest ratings and so now NO Ratings = Everyone Gets a Winner Trophy or something.

On the contrary, the last time I remember such a big change (or maybe it was two times ago), Jillian and I easily had the highest rep. Then it was zeroed out and all the conservative Petals were in the green. Now it's back to zero again. Pfffftttt..

^^^^ Funniest post probably EVAH

just the way it is...

Who actually OWNS this forum? We don't know do we. We have no idea with this new software what personal information can be gathering, we have no idea WHO they are told to Flag things and then give information on those who do Wrong Think, you know the exact same system that Facebook and Twitter use you know the Big Brother System.

Some might think this is all paranoia, but they used to say that about those who said the same things about Facebook and Twitter and look how that ended up with Facebook and Twitter passing personal information to various Governments when peoples said something that was Wrong Think, when peoples were not Brainwashed with the Political Correctness and how many got Doxxed from their jobs as a result? Off The Chart Doxxings.

Okay, so you are worried that the owners of this forum might tell your boss some of the crazy things you post here... and you keep posting here.

I'll admit, I say stuff here I'd never say on Facebook because it is confidential. But someone wouldn't have a hard time seeing my posts here and knowing it was me.

I use a VPN and I make sure it changes every time I log on and so they would not be able to use anything. In general I now do not trust any Internet Forum owner in the same way I would not trust Facebook or Twitter, they all are not working for the better of Society they all are now working to get Society to Watch What You Say or Else Thought Police. I do not agree with Censorship or this type of Totalitarianism that is now infesting so many Internet platforms. I will say what I want when I want to and that goes for others I believe YOU should say what YOU want to when YOU want to.

No I am more concerned with if they sell data to a Third Party without permission, that is a violation of privacy.

 

[sparky]

Perhaps following in Facebook's example

I say stuff here I'd never say on Facebook

All my ex's post on facebook
So facebook is the place I'd rarely want to book
But all my ex's post on facebook
That's why i'm hidin' out @ USMB


Rosanna's likes include her putting down her former groom
Sweet Eileen's vengeance schemes include some federal goons
And Allison's DNA tested positive for me
And Dimple's forwards all my poems to the court for them to see


I remember when i first logged on , on just a friendly whim
But my ex's found me out , and wore that welcome mighty thin.
No top shelf medication can relieve the way they fight
And I always come back sober long before the dawn daylight


See my ex's post on facebook
And facebook just won't cancel my account for me
But all my ex's post on facebook
That's why i hang my hat @ USMB



Some folks think I'm hidin'
It's been rumored that I died
But I'm alive and well here @ USMB

Yes, well, our masters do not care. If they want to invade your privacy, they will write a Patriot Act (which invokes some very unpatriotic stuff). Now they want to suspend your Habius Corpus and other rights because the Constitution stands in their way of invoking martial law because a few people got the flu. As to giving permission, I've had the State void my contracts without my permission even though they were not at all involved in them, and next time you read the fine prink in any contract with a bank or financial institution, understand that there is much more powers they hold that are NOT even in the fine print and they never tell you about.

Because you see, it's OK if YOU fail just so long as they do not. You see, Corporate Entities are simply more important than Individuals even though it takes Individuals to create Corporate Entities.

As to the PM, I seriously doubt there is anything you write in PM that someone else cannot see if they want to see it. It is only private from other members.

And you seem QUITE RIGHT: so far, almost all the people who love the new format are trolls.

 

[TNHarley]

I just figured out how to work the other one :/

 

[toobfreak]

STUFF IS TOO FAINT NOW!
You can barely see the line separating posts.
You can barely see many things like EDIT, REPORT, etc.
And why does the Spellchecker work on and off?

Too many things can barely be seen now unless you happen to catch some faint field of gray and mouse over it to see what it is.

Ummm, this is FREAKING ME OUT Kat!!!

Why!!!

Coronavirus is to blame for this!!!

Damn you Chinese Government!!!

Actually, this take awhile to get used to and as I was making a joke above I will miss the old way...

Well already can't find a way to quote a part of a post but over yonder JustAnotherNut wrote:

WAIT....there may be a positive to this new change...……...when you quote someone, that quoted someone...…..you only get the last quote, instead of a full string of quotes. YIPPEE

That means if ya'll get into a pissin match over something...….your post won't blow up your alerts.

Maybe, but another downside is how most of it all is so much smaller, both text and the smileys...……...dammit, now I have to get new glasses

(end paste)

I don't think that's a good thing (losing the quote nest) if true --- that's your whole context of whatever the point was.

I do agree about the reading. This is almost impossible to see. Maybe we all need to enlarge our fonts in protest. That was called 18. It would appear default is somewhere around 14, which is not a choice, so you can go bigger or smaller.

Hold the control button and roll your mouse button to increase the page size while you're here. Press it again and roll the wheel so the adds on Porn Hub dont interfere with your educational experience there.

I hate new stuff

What're you on a phone ? If so go buy a Dell and put the damn phone down
