    Blue 2 seems to have sorted it in his NF Meteor thread.

    Well done Key, your response, despite all the mollifying words, has been too little:too late. You’ve finally killed off the goose that laid the golden egg and in the process probably alienated a significant proportion of your readership.

    Like a number of others, having been with FlyPast since issue 1, (so nearly 40 years),  I am  now wondering whether to renew my subscription as a way of expressing my feelings about how this whole update has been handled.

    Thanks to all the DD contributors, although I have to say that their comprehensive coverage has meant that I don’t visit as much as I used to. 

    As before, you can always make your feelings known to the Key Publishing CEO. His e-mail address is freely available on the “About Us” page on the Key Publishing website. I wonder how long before this post is edited…….

    You set me thinking….

    So I checked

    Monthly

    Air Enthusiast Vol 1 to Vol 5 (1971 – 73)

    became

    Air Enthusiast International Vol 6 (Jan to June 1974)

    became

    Air International Vol 7 (July 1974 onwards)

    Quarterly/Bi-monthly

    Air Enthusiast Quarterly No’s 1 – 4 (Nov 1976 – Oct 1977)

    became

    Air Enthusiast No 5 onwards (Nov 1977 onwards)

    Thanks for making me realise I have been reading AE/AI for nearly 50 years………

    Air Enthusiast did not become Air International. They came from the same stable but AI preceded AE. Both had the wonderful Wilf Hardy artwork on the cover to start with. AE started on a quarterly basis then moved to a two monthly basis.

    Yes I liked it as well, noticed the odd factual error though. As a former 633 VGS student, I’m sure I went to Cosford rather than Kinloss!

    Do we really need adverts for comfy trousers though? Seems a bit at odds with the new yoof vibe of the website.

    Don’t forget the fact that they killed off Air Enthusiast which carried really detailed articles on sometimes esoteric subjects, long before they acquired Aeroplane

    Thought Steve Milnethorpe (apologies if spelling wrong) had taken on the Boston/Havoc after selling his Hurricane project to Hawker Restorations

    To avoid having to scroll to the bottom of the first page to get to the last page, would it be possible to mirror the page numbers from the bottom of the page at the top of the page as well?

    If there have already been some changes, as promised, to widen the area for posting comments then someone needs to look at the side bar which gives the poster’s avatar, name, length of service and number of posts. It’s just plain silly.

    Well they did try to get a better Kittyhawk, and we all know what happened there…….

    Judging from the way activity has dropped off on this much loved forum since the new forum software was introduced, I would hazard a guess that you need to get things sorted in days rather than weeks. Otherwise there will be nobody here to see them when they eventually come. I cannot believe that you introduced this update with no attempt to test it out on the existing users. It makes me feel as if we don’t actually matter to Key.

    Khalem, if you want to show your web developers what an effective forum looks like and operates, you could do worse than showing them HMVF (Historic Military Vehicles Forum) or Maple Leaf Up forum. They have simple graphics and the necessary functionality without the superfluous elements your web developers seem to revel in.
