Good luck everyone on the new board. I think its too much for me and my computer. Perhaps when I have the time I will try to figure it all out but it just seems too complicated for me. |

What a pain...not worth the frustration. The site does'nt send you an email or take your id. Keep this site open until you figure it out. |

Thanks Joann--you are a very nice person and I appreciate it. Its all just too frustrating for me to figure out and I don't know a word of the tech lingo that people throw around. |

I gave it a shot but too seem to have come up short. I thought I followed every instruction, received a confirmatory email and a link to click on to complete the process. But when I repeatedly tried to open the link it wouldn't open. |

We will get these things fixed and be better than ever. If ya'll need to take a few day break while we get it in order I certainly understand that. |

I'll wait until the bugs are worked out. I actually wanted a new forum, but now I'm thinking we should have stayed with this one. |

Don't anyone take this personally but if you think we should have stayed with this site you are being very short sighted. This isn't a personal jab it's just my opinion just like everyone else has theirs. After we get the slowness issue worked out I expect almost 100% approval rating on the new board. |

Jim, trust me when I say you will get used to the new board. I won't say that you'll like it more than this one because I know you're not much of a bells and whistles type of guy, but you will adjust. |

Good luck in your endeavors. I think a lot of good has come from Net54 with reference to alterations and other bad things in the hobby. I will help you with the new forum if you need it. I think it's going to be better than this one....but I am biased. Take care |

I am sure the move makes a ton of sense from an administrative point of view, but from a usage point of view it is like moving away from simple Google searches. |

...the new website rewards/encourages contribution from more tech-savvy individuals and discourages contribution from less tech-savvy individuals. I suspect that as a population of pre-WWI baseball card collectors, we fall on the less tech-savvy end of the spectrum. |

It would help if someone could verbalize what exactly are you guys finding too difficult to do on the new forum. Sure there are a ton of bells and whistles, but the process of clicking on the home plate (the same as we had at the top of this forum), clicking the thread you want to read and clicking reply seems straightforward to me. I don't doubt it seems that way because I am a "computer guy" but helping us understand which part of those steps is causing the confusion will help us try and solve it. |

Despite being in the computer industry for over 10 years I have no problem understanding where Jim is coming from. For a new user, myself included, the new forum is intimidating. There appears to be much more text and icons and the information one is seeking is tougher to find. (Paul's Google analogy was excellent) As Jim alluded to, if the information is there he and others will somehow overcome the design/layout obstacles and get the information. I liken it too the Net54 site many years ago with the popup problems. The content was so good that you would wade through all the popups and get to the site. If the content on the new site is as good as it was then, I don't think there will be a problem with participation. If the quality of the information does not get to that level, then as Paul said there will be a reduction in quality participation. |

Paul has some very good points. The change may have an unintended side effect of changing the demographic of the board. The less tech savvy may also tend to be the older collectors, and vice versa. So ultimately the change may lower the average age of participants while it raises the average tech-savviness. |

...the new forum is broken or doesn't work. I can log on and post with almost the same ease as I am able to here. But in terms of being able to scroll through posts it is not as clean. |

Paul - that's great constructive feedback - I'm sure we'll try and address both of those issues once we resolve the performance issue. |

Also, for whatever it's worth, I used to view Net54 via my brand new Blackberry Bold all the time and there is no question that the old site was easier to view and faster loading from a mobile device than the new site. To the extent the future is about mobility of information from wireless handheld devices, my experience with the new site is a loss of efficiency and utility. |

One more small point is that for those collectors who use the PSA Set Registry, they went to a new system three months or so ago. For me, it has been horrible--_I lose sets;I can't register my cards and it is infinately harder to use. |

I've never seen so much handwringing over something as simple as an internet forum. You have to get used to it...this site was outdated and the Net54 people don't offer enough support. There will be no trolls on the new site and if there does happen to be a poster you don't care for instead of 300 post threads complaining about that poster you can simply click a button and they're gone. There will be no scrolling from left to right, there will be no images posted that are so large it crashes your computer...there is even an area for you to store your photos in albums for easy retrieval. |

Jim, that little photo of Sam Crawford next to my name here is called an Avatar. You don't need to use one so that's one less thing you have to worry about. You see even this site used Avatars and you love this site. |

Well said Dave. If people don't want to go why twist arms? The new forum is not hard to learn or use. I can understand not liking the look of it, but it's not going to suit everyone. |

I have to agree the new board is busier than I wanted it. You know what? There was no choice. It's like buying a car and saying you don't want seat belts. Guess what? You are getting seat belts. I absolutely understand that a few folks might not come over. Well, that is their choice but I do hope everyone does. Once the slowness issue gets worked out then I have no problem sleeping well at night knowing this was the best decision for the masses and for Net54. Change is not easy and the older I get the less I like them. This was for the best though. Whether you see it or not is the question, because it's not even debatable imo. For anyone saying it's difficult to use I have to agree. It's difficult for me right now (slowness aside) and I am the owner/moderator. I also know that like every other thing I have ever done it will get easier with time. Once we know how it all works it will completely blow this old site away. I have absolutely no doubt whatsover about it. best regards and remember....The only thing to fear is fear itself!! |
