I would like to make a plea to those of us who are OVER 25, who are very serious about our forums and just want equal consideration from our suggestions and posts!
I realize that this is free forum hosting site that has quite a few younger members, but I would like to address those of us who are a little older, wiser and more experienced with forums and know what we are looking for.
One thing for sure is that Forumotion is neglecting certain aspects of their basic coding and with that, we all have to experience some unpleasant after effects and problems with each new update. This is because of the outdated and antiquated phpBB2 coding on their servers. THIS NEEDS TO BE UPDATED AND MODERNIZED NOW! Without doing so, we all risk the same problems most of us experience each time a new update is launched. You have to start from the ground up and build on that, rather than building a house of cards on an already shaky foundation! If these updates are not done, the problems will continue and forum outages will be the norm here each and every time.
I would also like to ask those of us who are a little older, more experienced to share your feelings and opinions a bit more here. If we are not heard, then things will never change. Don't be afraid to speak up, even if it sounds negative. I do realize & understand that the technicians try VERY hard to make positive and important updates for everyone, but is it really working for all of us? Are these updates what everyone wants? What about the members who pay for their forums, do we not get a say?
I've suggested so many things over nearly 3 years and with lots of positive feedback from others, but not ONCE have any of my suggestions been accepted or made into working features! Besides this though, we need to have the admins make our forums as stable as possible FIRST and then work on updates from there.
I'm looking forward to hearing, reading and listening to your feedback, we can't be the only ones that are thinking the things that myself and others are!
