Ooooo, look at the forum all fancy shmancy, and with the long asked for " like " button !, and emoticons !.

Ever gone with 'if it ain't broke....'?     I HATE change. 

Have to say it's a bit different but has the changes I'd like too.

I like it!

I love the changes!! It's lovely and bright

I like it too. It will take a bit of getting used to, but like the extras especially the smilies.

Well that was a surprise.like theupvote button.now I need to get rid of all the adverts

What adverts are those?
I don't have any

Have had to re-register as I cannot remember my password ...and the email address I used when I first joined champdogs all those many years ago is defunct :  - so I used to be Lokis mum and am now freyaanodins mum ...........

Now I know I'm becoming pretty old and decrepit - but surely once upon a dream we had all the above emoticoms before - and did we not have a "like" button too - once upon another life???

And as for furriefriends request to remove adverts - just log in - then you lose 'em!

Ask Admin to change your user name back Margot, should surely be possible? Yes we did use to have smileys but never a Like button -often requested though.

See now I didn't know what upvote meant ;)

I was about to moan at my kids for re setting my computer preferences, colours, fonts etc and then I noticed this thread!  Thanks Celli

I didn't realise it had logged me out now sorted. I have had to turn the brightness down on my screens as it was all rather to little contrats. DAB I thought at first something similar had happened here lol and the upvote confused me to until I realised it was a like button.

I must admit, I wasn't sure about it at first, and then when nobody else had mentioned it, I thought my pad had gone bammy

I thought it was my pc !    reminded me of champdogs when I very 1st joined years ago   do like the like button now 

That's what I was thinking we used to have smilies. Must admit I thought something had gone wrong my end now think it was the update had to log back in had forgotten my password and had to PM Admin for help.

I like it.

> See now I didn't know what upvote meant ;)

I didn't either Barbara.  I was really pleased, scrolling down to see if we had back the one that I missed.  Often a help when someone is worried that they are the only person awake when their bitch is in labour.  Oh the late hour chats we used to have. 

But when I looked it hasn't returned.     Yes, I mean who's online.

How do you see the 'likes' as haven't seen a number or anything?

Barbara I have just clicked upvote on your post so it now says your post has 1 upvote, have  a look.

Ah I get it it's at the top of the reply

One bit I found is that when you do a 'site search' it now gives you part/all of the post not just the title which I don't think it did before the new look

    A few days in and I'm more au fait with this new look ...... some features I find an improvement (smilies and TUs specifically - once I discovered where to see them!!)

So 'oldies' can adapt

Now I'd just like to be able to find how to start a new thread

New post

I think it's the following

Select forum

Category breeding etc

At the top you will see a pic. Of a pencil and post click on post it brings up a blank box with topicetc in it

Thanks - I seem to remember this now!!

I didn't even notice the word upvote - too busy reading the posts!  Bit posh isn't it!  What is wrong with 'like' I wonder.

If I click for upvote it then sends me back to the top of the thread rather than back where I was, that's a pain!!

What is wrong with 'like' I wonder.

Maybe that format is owned by Facebook?

Agree or approve may have been better, at least recognisable.

I have just realised we have lost our stars

Has anyone else noticed that notifications come up delayed too?

I read a load of replies to my post yesterday (no notifications) - and only today have the notifications appeared at the top of the board.

> Has anyone else noticed that notifications come up delayed too?

Yes dogs a babe kindly responded to a post, but notification came through over 24hrs later.

> I read a load of replies to my post yesterday (no notifications) - and only today have the notifications appeared at the top of the board.

Same here.

Has anyone else noticed that notifications come up delayed too?

I'm not getting ANY notifications at the moment so wondered about that too  - perhaps nobody has added to what I've written!!

I have found you don't se the notifications if like me you use Active Topics, they only show up for me if I go to Board index (which I'd never normally do, unless I wanted to post a new topic).

   Ooooh.   I wish I'd not looked!!!    There are tons there and you are right, I always come here via Active Topics!!

> I always come here via Active Topics!!

Me too!  So I just had a look at Board Index.  If Barbara had not mentioned it I probably would just have assumed that I had no notifications.    Obviously I'm not very internet savvy!
