After 3 months of enduring this fiasco, still can’t edit our own posts, still have the irritating animated header and we haven’t seen sight nor sound of a Key staffer for months. All the mollifying Cr@p about sorting things out was just that.
I’ve had enough, that’s it.
A great forum sacrificed at the altar of technical self indulgence.
There is now a dedicated Historic Aviation forum over on UKAR. Blue 2’s Meteor thread is the first posting on the new forum.
New year; new home
Don’t know why we bother commenting, they clearly are not interested and seem intent on ploughing their own furrow, to the exclusion of established users
Where have all the conversations that used to take on here moved to? I don’t see them on UKAR or WIX.
If we had an edit post facility, which we still don’t seem to have – a basic forum function I would have thought – I would have changed the first word in the post above to “It’s”
It called “face”. If they implement the requested changes, they are acknowledging that they got it badly wrong. They don’t want to do that as it is seen as a loss of face
With Safari still got the extremely irritating animated header that shrinks and grows at will
I’m using Safari on an iPad, and
a – still have the the irritating animated Key Aero header
and
b – still have no facility to edit my own posts
The annoying animated Key Aero heading is still present. What is the point of it other than being some techie’s vanity project
Key Header still irritatingly animated for this user……
What the heck are breadcrumbs? More meaningless techy mumbo-jumbo ?
Has anybody at Key got a strategy as to how they are going to pull back punters into the forum. The last two or three so called updates have driven more and more people away to the point where it’s not worth even visiting on a daily basis. This forum has lost its critical mass and is a mere shell of its former self
Response has been pitiful and any empathy with the (former) users was even less. Seems to have been a vanity project for the Key Management and techies.
Been hearing rumours for a couple of years but still sad to see something formal about its demise. As Beltring!s star wanes, many regarded this show as its natural heir.
Oh well, will have to find somewhere else to debut my MWR when it finally gets finished……..
Or the dead parrot sketch…..
The words “bolted” “door” “closing” “horse” “after” and “stable” spring to mind
Additionally, you can’t even get an important message about a crucial forum update seeking to address shortcomings and hopefully reverse the general exodus of forum members correct the first time around.
Is that how much you care about these fora?
I have just rung Customer Services at Key to get the thread offering fake Passports, Driving Licences etc removed from the forum.
It had sat on the site for just under 3 hours…..
Do you mean the big box of Jaffa Cakes or the Meteor?
