GeneralRam Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 I don't like it - not that you care that I think! But anyway.... It was easy to find a player before but now it looks a mess. I am not pleased. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IlsonDerby Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 Great new layout for the transfer threads. Some of you lot might enjoy one long thread with pun after pun and absolutely nothing to do with the player or the rumour but I've got other **** to do during a day and can't spend a hour at a time trawling through 20 pages of puns. Also noticed that there are a lot more opinions about the player in question (or should I say more frequent opinions in the threads) which is down to this change. Much better. Congrats Mods.

ramexpat Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 i cant get used to it to be honest, its a eye-sore , people are still writing the same things in 2 threads (best for example) than they would in 1 Best thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CumbrianRam Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 I'm on the forum quite regular and this new system is much easier for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thierry Ennui Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 One small suggestion would be the addition of something to indicate a thread is no longer the latest on a player. S for superseded before the thread title, maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IlsonDerby Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 Still all over the place if you browse just new content How about people use their brains and just look at which thread was created most recently? Much quicker than trawling through 500 pages of puns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Srg Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 How about people use their brains and just look at which thread was created most recently? Much quicker than trawling through 500 pages of puns.

Day Posted August 6, 2014 Author Share Posted August 6, 2014 View New Content shows the time the thread was started if within 24hrs, very easy to see what's the latest, just takes a few seconds longer thats all but for those extra few seconds we're getting actual discussions now on the signing.Is it perfect? nope, I'm still looking around for ideas, maybe using the tagging system in someway. Transfer window closes in a month anyway so plenty of time to work on it over the next few weeks ready for the January rush. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IlsonDerby Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 Because new content is easier and why should anyone change the way they view the forum? Daveo put it in a more polite way than me but for an extra 2/3 seconds looking at when articles where created you get straight to the latest advancement rather than having to search through page after page of utter **** where you're just as likely to miss anything of importance as it's all puns and ******. I've noticed that even in the short while the threads have been changed to this format the discussion remains centred around the actual player/rumour/deal as oppose to going off on a tangent every 2/3 posts which creates a butterfly effect as people reply to the puns and non player related comments. I just think change scares some people, even for the better. I was scared about what would happen to Derby when Glick left - haven't looked back since. In a month or two I reckon you and a lot of posters will appreciate how easy it is to find relevant new information/updates on things. Plus servers are less likely to go down if the burden is split over numerous threads rather than a super thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posh Ram Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Why not just have the opening post updated with new developments, as was done towards the end of the Thorne saga? This current system is, imo, unnecessarily cluttered and difficult to have a continued discussion about a potential signing, as every development means a move to a new thread and cross-thread quoting is confusing. Plus, I liked the puns... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CumbrianRam Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 As a mod it is much easier, the Thorne thread was impossible to mod, there could have been several libelous posts and I would not have known. Like Daveo said, this system is under development and maybe might be a good idea to have criteria on when a new thread is started (on for inital rumor, one for DET/RD news, one for bid accepted/major setback and one for confirmation or breakdown of deal). If a player joins elsewhere the update goes into Football Talk, disucssion of players performances in Rams talk. The old system worked well, when it was me, Boycie, Daveo, frogg and a couple of others on here (Buxton thread was one page only), but most people only view this forum when on a lunch break at work or at home for 30 mins max, so seeing 10s of pages with no transfer news is not great and it comes across very cliquey. Since the DET closed, activity on this forum went up tenfold and it is by far the busiest DCFC forum. Situation is very mixed on the mod room and here, but like a new things it will take time and devlopment before we get a consensus, going back to the old system of a megathread is a no go I think. I view the forum using the last unread post feature so having updates in the OP is no good me as it fecks up the browsing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
