I reply to a thread, the board takes forever to acknowledge that it got my message, and then I find that while my reply went in, the thread was not bumped up. Now the thread can keep sinking into oblivion with no one knowing that more has been said.
This has happened to me several times lately. Is anybody else having this experience?
Yes, just the other day. It seemed that it hadn't been uploaded and the thread didn't move up to the top. I couldn't be bothered retyping but when I next checked the thread the message was there. Methinks the board is haunted.
This has happened to me several times lately. Is anybody else having this experience?
Yes, sadly. I have no problem in my work, when my internet connection is very fast. But at home I can't even see this board sometimes ("page not responding"...). Maybe it's time for upgrade?
Been common for months, more common now. Since it seems to have been a waste to do something and have it go in oblivion, I just give it another shot and then put delete on the second one or fill in another remark for the second one. While the idea is admirable about updating this board and then charge a fee. I feel many will just not bother and go elsewhere and to create a system to collect the fees would cost, right? If it is done through the internet, some may bow out because there are people who don't like to pay bills through the internet, they may be a quiet minority but still a big one. The other choice would be payment through the mail. In both situations it would be more time and effort for MR Kendall to run this board. Hire a couple of people to handle transactions etc.
Upgrade and charge a small monthly fee to posters and get the problem fixed.
And watch this board become a ghost town complete with shootouts.
Tumbleweeds. A fee would cause the population to implode.
It's not exactly alive with quality conversation now, and in a forum where sci-fi reigns supreme I think George Lucas would be rolling in his creative grave if something technology oriented with technology-oriented fans such as this forum worked so poorly. Plus, you people spend hundreds, if not thousands of [your national currency here] on score cds, what's a few bucks more for something to actually work right?
If this board gets any slower, they'll have to break out the carbon paper.
