Members gone underground ??

Initially I nearly gave up on the new look forum because I couldn't easily see what posts had been added to since my last visit and I was not prepared to search each section looking.

But I now log in and go to "Forums – Active Topics" on the top left of the page and can see what has been added. I still don't think it is as easy as it was, but I have gotten used to it.

Perhaps others didn't have the patience to do that and have simply left.

The new forum is hopeless.

The active topics list is completely broken.
The advanced search is near useless (can't even search by member).

I can't be bothered clicking through each forum/subforum looking for new posts or ones I've contributed to, so I simply don't. I don't think I'm alone. I'd love to know where everybody is leaving for. I hope it's not somersoft, as I've repeatedly registered there but never had a single post show up (censorship?). Anybody know?

I have noticed that the quality of posts is not what it was a couple of years ago…..Where have some of the old regulars gone ?

Yeah – the forum is now totally P poor. Ther is no way to keep track of what you are interested in unless you either scroll through pages of history, all the time not knowing who has posted anyway, or get bombadred with emails if you subscribe to a post (if it lets you). The new forum is SO dissapointing-with the losers being anyone who wants some help and advice – I'm only here now because there are no new motorbikes of interest on ebay, and I was wondering who else is bothering to post now. SO there you have it – I don't envisage frequenting the site much any longer unfortunately – which is a shame,as it used to be quite interesting and had a nice 'homely' feel to it. And I did check just in the off chance it had been 'fixed up' to a usable method as promised  – but alas no. THis is why thes same topics are rehashed time and time again – no on can find anything! Maybe we can set up a new site. Any ideas? Take care, and all the best with your journey/s.

This site used to be a very good resource a couple of years back, but I do I think it could still be good for some newer investors. 

I gave up on it a while back due to the fact that it was so slow at certain times of the day (when most used)…I'd say the server was overloaded and they needed more bandwidth or additional server space.

I have been back on the site a bit more lately and this issue seems to have been resolved.

hi all
I must admit I don't like the new look,i too have to log in each time and cant find my wayaround as well.
I do think that steve needs a caveat emptor page as well.
I am a bit busy so have not been here for a while but have been having a read any change does take time to re adjust I
I flick out very quickly and gloss over alot of the posts, as I am trying to read posts that I have not gone thru before.
I try to find the posts that are not just I am looking for a posi property can anyone point me in the rigt direction.
hope you all are well.

Hi everyone

Just happen to take a break to see what's up at PI.com.  I'm probably the most unlikely person to login and comment, this is an exception.  The new format has made browsing for followup topics difficult ;and so most ,I dare say, gave up.

I think this actually lead to some making use of their time doing rather than watching this space, any thoughts?  It maybe a good thing…

I was given the impression by other fellow forumites it maybe better next door at somersoft; not a regular but will check it out.

Agree the format of this forum is awful. Interestingly I've compared the number of 'active users' on this forum on several evenings this week, with Somersoft and Invested.

I'm seeing numbers averaging 70-90 on Somersoft, compared to 20-30 on Invested and 10-20 on PI.com!

I find Somersoft far, far better. Invested is good for managed funds discussions, but that's about it.

Hi guys,
That quote is powerful hey colin! I was so blown blown away by what that young girl achieved and her level of faith in her short life before she got tragically shot.Her ministry today impacts hundrds of thousands of lives all over the world,as her dad goes around the world sharing hope!Its powerful!
any way
in regards to the new site format,i am struggling with it too and havent been around for a while but hey we all hate change hey!
I find it hard to know where yr last posts go if u comment on a topic,anyway i know they will sort out the glitches ,its the same with anything new i guess,it needs a tune .Its great that steve has been so generous to us ,paying for this expensive upgrade .
It will come good guys!

Regards
Luke
