Hi all,

Just going to address some comments quickly.

Planemike – Sadly I do not feel you really understand the level of dissatisfaction with the new revised forum layout. By your own admission you are a “new boy” at KEY” – Yes I am but that doesn’t mean I don’t appreciate the amount of time you have all put into the forum and I especially understand the dissatisfaction you all have, which is why I am passing criticisms over to the development team constantly and recommending they change things in line with your comments. Also, just to clarify, I agree that the forum needs a lot of work. I have never alluded to a “few minor tweaks” will fix it. A lot needs to be done, but its being rolled out in tranches and some things take longer than others, but its best to make some changes now rather than wait until we can change everything at once so we are at least doing something.

Some of which will happen this weekend. I appreciate its not a “massive” update but its a start and the development team is working on other parts which will be rolled out in the near future.

The spam threads have been noted. I don’t have time to actively scroll through each forum channel but now it has brought to my attention, I will keep an eye out and delete any that pop up. Thanks to those who notified me today. I myself am surprised that there seems to be a lack of protection in that department and will be pushing for that to change ASAP. It is not needed on this forum.

I understand people are unhappy with the layout, trust me. That makes up half of the comments made so far on the critical side of the forum. It is on the top of the list of things to sort. This weekend the layout will stretch to fill more of the page. Abandoning the sticky “first comment” post which seems to stick on each page throughout the thread (no clue why its there myself anyway). Also the profile of the member who started the thread will go, freeing up webpage real estate on the page. Other changes will come but they take a bit longer to fix, but they are coming.

Yes, the current forum is user UNfriendly and we are looking to amend that. I myself have enquired about Duxford Diary and apparently it did not migrate across properly, so expect it to be back soon!

I will and have noted the profile box to the left of comments. My name for example annoys me but it is something developers are addressing.

I hope this helps a bit, I know a lot needs to be done and at risk of repeating myself, we are actively looking to sort it.

Hope you all have a good evening,

Kind regards,
Khalem
