How about people bumping threads, but not adding anything to it?

I do agree it would be cool to have a way to turn off forums, and I guess threads.

 

Where’s the time machine? This is horrible! Take us back!

 

Just subscribe to the forums you prefer. Allows you to customize what forums are listed first.

Here's mine

 

That is what i do. Subribe to threads I want to read, or something I may want to find later. Like a part or such I will buy someday.

 

care to elaborate?

 

Robb is doing a fantastic job with streaming the site so it functions better for the 80% of us who use mobile phones to browse and post here at HDF.

How about we give him honest feedback on changes made or ideas on how the format could be improved?

Think of this as an opportunity to talk directly and frankly to the boss.

 

So I've already mentioned I'm using a MacBook Pro for all things computer, a 2009 model that's been through four hard drives, along with some memory emergencies that brought to a halt. Chrome is my preferred browser and I'm already getting messages that there won't be any more updates for me because of the age of the OS which has arrived at its last train station.

So along with all of that, there is an increasing number of websites that I go to that I can no longer access as they have gone to a "mobile" format. Where Chrome is no longer recognizing the website. If that doesn't happen then I get HSFS errors I believe they are called. I then have to resort to Firefox as Safari also gives me problems.

So will HDforums become the same with this "mobile" inclination? Life's just not as fun on an iPad and certainly not on a iPhone. Alas, sooner or later I'll have to buy into the Microsoft Office and Adobe Photoshop schemes with pay to play, but I was hoping I could put that off a while longer, along with having to buy a new computing device.

 

I've often wondered what the percentage was. If it is 80% mobile, the focus should cater to the majority. Expand the mobile menu to include full user control panel functions. Currently, many full site control panel functions/selections won't carry over to the mobile version.

 

I'm liking the new format. I appreciate the confusion regarding the older models. I guess the forum needs to try to accommodate most. I don't use the New Post feature. Perhaps I should. Sometimes a duplicate thread may be avoided. I started a thread on the new BT TTS unit, when the way it appears in the tuning section everyone posts in the TTS thread. Different areas, different methods. Personally, I've never had a Harley-Davidson older than a 2009 FLHX - so for me, all the older stuff doesn't apply [Evo, Shovel, Pan, Knuckle]. It might once I win the lottery and buy Elvis' or Evel's motorcycle... [kidding- or am I].

To @6113_ I too am a Mac user. I switched to Firefox as Chrome wasn't gelling with HDForums. I run a VPN for a comfort blanket, and a lot of times I can't see attached images. [Maps in road trips, memes in POD, that sort of thing, showdown forum] I've switched off the VPN, and it doesn't always work. I will say - good work on keeping a 2009 still going. My experience, Macs stay operable way longer than PCs. I switched to a Mac Mini in 2004, as an experiment. My main computer will probably remain a Mac. [I think my MBP is 2016 vintage] I did buy a Microsoft Surface specifically for TTS though.

@Robb M. I'm sure there is some tweaking I could do to my account to make it better for myself. As a fellow Canadian, our Canada regional forum isn't necessarily the best place to discuss Canadian POD, road trips, Canadian dealership experiences, Canadian insurance topics and so on. For me: I think there could be some sub-forums for Canadian [and then European / Asian / Australian etc.] members - but this is just a suggestion. I'm fine if it is stays as it is. It might water everything down too much anyhow. [No one from any where likes watered down beer...]

I quit using my phone for HDF. There was an app that went sideways on me, and frankly I haven't got the time. [I'm considering work elsewhere -ha ha.] I'm happy with my laptop experience, and my HDForums one too. I can surf a little, plan some trips, read some forums, and then close the lid when it's time to.

Robb; thank you for your efforts, as well as the efforts of the Moderator team. [I wouldn't want that job, but I would sometimes like to read the MOD edits...]

 

When I have to much free time, I use newpost. Other wise I subsribe and follow and thread until I bored. I still think notifications of being qupoted, or posts in threads you are following are nice. I;ve seen some forums in the corner a # will pop up, similar to when one of our posts are liked. You click on it, and says_______. Other forums do it, so it can't be rocket surgery.
