spanj Posted November 9, 2017 Report Share Posted November 9, 2017 Is it just me or is the number of new posts much lower since the software upgrade (which I think is OK btw) ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danger-Mouse Posted November 9, 2017 Report Share Posted November 9, 2017 Seems to be the case but it will undoubtably take people a while to get used to the new format. I dare say after a short while normal service will be resumed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lloyd90 Posted November 9, 2017 Report Share Posted November 9, 2017 It just looks a bit different to me everything works the same, can’t see why it would stop anyone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly I can't say I love the changes but I know that I''ll get used to them and in a few weeks or months I won't even remember how the forum used to look and work. A few will be unwilling to adapt and will leave but most will eventually adapt and begin posting again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strimmer_13 Posted November 9, 2017 Report Share Posted November 9, 2017 I think it looks better and its certainly easier to use via mobile for me. But then again I've been a lurker for years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me matt Posted November 9, 2017 Report Share Posted November 9, 2017 Maybe it's like season 2 of stranger things.....(becuse ive just watched the last part) but you'll get the jist.. Perhaps the Mods could do some competitions/weekly give aways to entice folk back in? Tbh this forum has always lacked comps/give always imho. Photo comps, vote for fave monthly vid and so on. Considering the visual refresh of the forum- wouldn't hurt to take it a step further. Im sure folk would contribute what they can, ill give some of my proffesional time as a start point ??

wymberley Posted November 10, 2017 Report Share Posted November 10, 2017 Having retired some good few years back, I tend to have a look-see quite often during the course of the day. Back along there was always the possibility of a chat with a good few new posts popping up. After a while these started to diminish in number and continue to do so. Now, I have to search for something which attracts my interest. A recent thread which agreed with this suggested that the increase in other internet sites might well be the cause of this. I know not. The broad band of interests, skills and knowledge - not to mention humour - on offer on PW still does it for me though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TIGHTCHOKE Posted November 10, 2017 Report Share Posted November 10, 2017 Matt, I would suggest most people come to PW for good advice and do not need competitions! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sian Posted November 10, 2017 Report Share Posted November 10, 2017 I like the new look I just seem have a problem at home on my iPad as it logs me out now and I keep forgetting my passwords. At work my password has been saved and I can just get in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This Forum has nothing to do with airgun bbs , as Teal stated in his original post on the other thread, this Forum had to be updated as we were advised that its security system would no longer be supported, there was no option. If other Forums used the same Provider they would have had a similar message. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbh this forum has always lacked comps/give always imho. Photo comps, vote for fave monthly vid and so on. If a forum is in a position to do competitions and giveaways it's because the admin have a financial interest in getting people on there in order to profit from them. That's not why PW is here. The revenue that trade membership and the tiny amount of merchandise sales on here brings in doesn't even cover the running costs and the admin staff are all unpaid, so we don't have anything to give away other than our spare time. PW is run by shooters for shooters for the good of the sport. In answer to the OP, there's always a drop off in pace after an upgrade whilst Luddites like myself get used to the new format. Give it a couple of weeks and we will be back to normal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

das Posted November 11, 2017 Report Share Posted November 11, 2017 I gather that the old 'new content' button has reverted to 'off topic'. Just an observation, no problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
