This forum is antiquated.


I'm a member of several forums. This site is ancient in it's ability to respond to member's posts, and is also extremely cumbersome to reply to specific member's posts, quotes, etc. What am I missing? For some posts that are so technologically subjective....the objective merits of this website and forums are so 1990s. Ancient technology. 

Thoughts? Discuss.

Thanks very much for your frank response.

Seems many people don't like change...the constant constant.
Audiogon is alright, alright, alright. Maybe use the other sites that are less 1990s?
Just copy and paste, press " while it's blue, and you get what I just did with you.

Cheers George
Yeah....way too many steps to quote and reply. Ancient technology. should have a 'reply' button, a 'like' button, etc. The moderators are too busy shilling for a handful of 'psychological, subjective' marketers  that have no basis in fundamental physics...while believing they hear what they pay for...or pretend to, anyway.

Vaporware that is pretentious while pretending.


OP, can you suggest a couple forums which cover audio which have the kind of functionality you’re looking for? I’m curious.
The forum that comes to mind... that I use anyway... with the most functionality is

www.TheGearPage.net

you mean like that, it’s just a right button click away, with Chrome or Edge
👍

Six steps to quote, like, and respond with a thumbs up to a specific post.
There are many posts that I would just like to affirm my "like" to, and easily respond to with the click of a button..but in today’s sped-up time-suck of forum posting, I find it too cumbersome and time consuming here.

I know...some will say, "get off my lawn"...and that’s fine. BTW...I’m 60 years of age...and can still "bring it"...somedays...lol.

Have a fine musical day.
Yeah...change is hard. 

It didn't like the changes Facebook forced upon me. But, I adapted while complaining about it. It's also free...monetarily anyway.

It's funny that people complain about their privacy while on a smart phone or the internet.

You want privacy? Get a walkie talkie and a map.

You posted 67 times and counting in 11 days on this forum but you whine about the interface and disparage the moderators?

You must be very lonely …
...Yet here you are keeping track of me...and I'm lonely? Some comedy just writes itself.

And...Quite a number of posters here agree with me. By seeing some posts about the previous version, some features were lost, and the caretaker of the website got tired of the job.

@Edgewound, Okay so here's what separates this site from most others in the category of interest you mention...there aren't any nazi moderators here with their own agendas quietly manipulating the atmosphere within which interaction takes place other than to maintain civility. There's kooks and crackpots in control out there. Step outta line and...

just sayin:)
Not sure if you're kidding or not. Step out of line, and posts get deleted...regardless of truth and honesty.
This new kid is a member of a few other forums as well. They’re all free...and far more functional.  The guy that designed the forum chimed in and I thanked him for his response. He passed it on to someone else that didn’t have the time.
Carry on...
