Forum Upgrade - Next Step


Elton

Recommended Posts

It would be good to see the old brigade back and posting again, I've got a suspicion that some are still here but lurking. There's no real reason why the site can't be as active as it once was though. Angling is still as popular as ever and forums like this are the best places to chat and exchange news and views. All we need is the numbers.

Back on topic:  Is the forum upgrade now finished?   Is it ever going to speed up? 

It's currently the slowest site that I use: my bookmark is set to the Non-fishing section and from there I click on *Unread Content* it can take up to two minutes for that page to open, and it's not much quicker when I  use the back button in my browser page.

Ferret is still around and posts now and again on facebook. 

Cheers Ant, it would be nice to hear of any other 'oldies' who are still in touch with any active members.

I think Brexit took it's toll on the membership, as it has with the population in general, that along with AN becoming more of a political forum than an angling one.

Angling is more than just catching fish, if it wasn't it would just be called 'catching'......... John

It might just be my old lap top, but I haven't noticed any slowing down with the new lay out, if anything it seems a bit faster than the old one.

I agree with John, the site seems a bit faster now it's been upgraded.

Seems faster but i prefere the old mobile version so the screen isnt cluttered with fish i have never caught and never will under peoples posts?

Believe NOTHING anyones says or writes unless you witness it yourself and even then your eyes can deceive you

None of this "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" crap it just means i have at least two enemies!

 

There is only one opinion i listen to ,its mine and its ALWAYS right even when its wrong

 

Its far easier to curse the darkness than light one candle

Grangers law : anything i say will  turn out the opposite or not happen at all!

It would be nice to know if Chris Goddard is doing well, I remember he was a top fella who was always willing to help. There was also Steve Burke, Poledark (Den???) and Jeepster was always a bit of a riot. I know Ian Cloke (AKA - Slacklines) is sadly no longer with us, he passed away suddenly a few years back. :(
