    You guys have always been wrong about this.

    Why would devs want something that just causes more work for them and that their users never liked in the first place?

    To troll devs and @haie?

    I told Derek to delete my post bc it's unproductive for him and the site. He obviously doesn't want this situation.

    But I started a new thread with the inane train gif bc I couldn't reply to posts. Most of us don't know what to fix because we can't use most features afforded by the previous version.

    Sending kind but direct feedback abouy functionality to Derek is the better approach.

    You have to just refresh the page and then the chat control shows up.

    It took me an embarrassingly long time to figure that out. But they shouldn't have that issues in the first place.

    On the plus side of all this fuckery, this has been the Throbber’s most productive day in months.

    If you aren't happy with the new changes, just create your own Huskie football hobby board.

    I am trying to stay calm but my frustration level is high. It is difficult when ultimately I am responsible for everything and yet I don't have total control. Technically speaking I could find us a new home, but that's impractical at this time for multiple reasons.

    If they can’t, or won’t, fix what seems like elementary functionality issues, it’s tim for a new home.

    Clearly created by people who don’t use forums or seemingly have any interest in the platform.

    Cut bait.

    New platform appears to be the final solution here.

    Use the 4-7-8 breathing technique

    And a copious supply of edibles.

    A two state solution. One for retards and one for DAWG fans

    They need to come out with no-carb edibles

    While I agree with a couple posters above about a new home, it's not that simple. To simplify for retards, it's not like walking out of the McDonald's in a huff and going across the street to Taco Time.

    I spent about two hours in the middle of the night looking once again for new possible homes. I'm not an IT guy but I know what appeals to me aesthetically. Everything I looked at either last night or during the summer looked like some sort of GEOCities or Dawgboard type of site.

    But what we're doing is not working.

    Derek, are there any options that allow you to migrate the years of threads we've accumulated on this platform? You've got a lot of equity in all this nonsense. I agree it would possibly be worse to start from zero posts.

    Why do they keep fuck with things? It was so good for a long time. Feels like Sonos management.

    I used to hang out on a car forum and a car detailing forum. This was peak forums era - probably 2005 - 2010. The traffic on those sites is probably a tenth of what they used to have, in part, because that specific car model went out of production and there are always bigger and better cars to move on to. I think the detailing site went bust mostly because the professional personality moved on to another company and people followed him.

    The hosts / owners of those sites tried to migrate/integrate secondary hosting via social media platforms which never really worked well at all as they don't have the necessary functionality of what a forum offers.

    ATBS, a sports forum still makes sense to me because the content or product around which it's based never expires.

    This shit is unusable at this point. Not opening to where you left off is fucking retarded, I don’t even know what the reaction buttons do, and it’s too wide for my phone. Fuck this right in the ass.

    Vanilla or whatever these morons are called is Cracker Barrel level idiocy. They care about what they believe is good vs customer needs/wants echoed by the site owner.

    I’m also starting to believe this is possibly politically motivated because of the Tug and some idiot liberals with skinny jeans and pink hair believe they know “what is best” for DJ and the majority right leaning community. They are punking HH.

    I don’t know what the answer is and definitely don’t blame Derek but these fuckers need to be kicked to the curb before they torpedo this site. I definitely believe this is a fuck you to Derek and the non idiot lunatic liberals here. This idiot AOG can’t even spell Husky. The D in PH is definitely DIPSHIT

    This is a BIG FUCK YOU from the developers that most likely have taken a glance at the TUG. For them it’s their warped principle over this community and they probably don’t give a shit if Derek walks or 99% of us are unhappy with their shitty product that gets worse weekly since July.

    I don't condone the above post toward the dev. I would delete it but there is no current delete button.

    As for @sinceredawg, whom I would quote but there is no quote button, yes if I move us to another platform we would be able to migrate the posts with us. I will speak more on this in a post tomorrow.

    Quote and delete functionality stat.

    Ignore would be downright awesome too.

    Vanilla is a Higher Logic program? I had some experience with Higher Logic several years back running an online learning platform and they mostly sucked back then.
