Henrik Posted October 10, 2021 Report Share Posted October 10, 2021 Seems to have killed the Forum stone dead, not much of interest anymore, can get weather updates on the BBC, and say Good morning to folk when I see them, thats about the sum of the topics on here just now. Maybe should go back to the Old Format of the Site as it was much easier to use Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe should go back to the Old Format of the Site as it was much easier to use As stated on a couple of occasions already, we had no option but to change server, as the old server was no longer operating, so the the 2 options open to Basics was 1. Move to a new server, which unfortunately resulted in the format changes. Or 2. Close down Basics totally. We opted for option 1, which I agree has had a negative affect to the site, this is out of our control. However if the site does not improve, it's future will be reviewed. The administration team do a lot of work in the background to try and improve the site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That to me would have been the best outcome, just seems such a shame that what was the best forum on the web has come down to what we have now, hopefully something can be done to restore it to its former glory. And I know you all will be working to this end so dont take this as a critisim of the work you are doing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyleakin Lofts Posted October 10, 2021 Report Share Posted October 10, 2021 Looks like a lot of members have not logged in. Possibly forgotten their details. If they don't log in they will show as guests. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roytheboyfootball Posted October 26, 2021 Report Share Posted October 26, 2021 think a link to teletext or ceefax with a new computer ( Sinclair zx spectrum) would be helpful for some members and they though cash less payments involved paying with Stamps.
