Title: Has the site landing page changed or is it just me?
Post by: lisafx on January 03, 2013, 13:31
Normally I go to www.microstockgroup.com and see a list of all recent threads, whether I've read the responses or not.  Now, I am landing on the page that used to be called "forums" and shows the different forums.  I can select Show unread posts since last visit, or Show new replies to your posts.

Is this a permanent change? 

May I just say, in the strongest terms, how much I dislike this change?  Is there any way to get the landing page to display as it always has?  The way it is now is seriously throwing off my enjoyment of the group. 

Please let me know how I can get the group to display as it has, and why it is looking so different for me.

It's not just you! It's the same for me and I agree with all your observations about it. I've noticed that the Heart thingies have gone too as I was unable to give your post a deserved thumbs up!

I'm happy with the verbal heart :)

Sorry to hear it's not just me.  I very much hope this is a temporary change or glitch, because I can hardly navigate the site at all the way it is now.   :(

Thank goodness! Thought there was something wrong with my computer (or me) as I have had the normal version all day and now suddenly this weird one. The "shout" messages (for premium members) is missing as well. I'm sure it's just a glitch and normal service will be resumed soon. Regards, David.

Thank you for the reply!  I don't mind waiting for the site to get back to normal.  I was just afraid this was going to be the New Normal. 

I'm so burned by site changes on the micros I am a bit jumpy when my favorite site appears radically different, even for a little while :)

Good luck with the site changeover!

Seriously, good luck sorting it out! Regards, David.

It was a bit like opening the door to your own house and finding that someone had completely re-arranged the purpose of every room and most of the furniture!

It was a testament to how well things normally work that it was so jarring and surprising to see something amiss with this site (unlike some other sites that shall remain nameless...) :)

Thanks for making the interruption brief and it was a very good thing that you quickly got a note up above the forum list saying you were working on fixing it - great idea do to that.

Yes, thank you so much Tyler for getting everything back in order so quickly.  You have spoiled us all with a site that functions perfectly for such a long time :)

Unfortunately, living 'down under', you also get to sleep through 90% of the world's great sporting spectacles too. If Australia could be towed around the ocean until it hit GMT it truly would be the perfect country to live in.
