Just out of curiousity

[Tim Laycock]

I was just wondering, now that the site has been like this for a few months and people have had time to get used to it, How do you find it?

Do you like it better now or do you prefer things how they were before the change of skin:?:

I prefered how things looked before and how the site worked etc

You:?:

[Jester]

must admit i prefer it this way to be honest :supz:







































besides i dont want to be seen agreeing with Tim too often http://yelims.free.fr/Jetirelalangue/Langue27.gif http://yelims5.free.fr/Violence/Violence08.gif

[OwlSurfer]

I completely agree old chap :rolleyes:

[Graham Stuart]

Must admit i cant even remember what it was like as im usually ****ed on here :yawinkle:

[OwlSurfer]

[MickeyDredd]

I have got used to the new style now and actually quite like it.

the only thing I miss is where you used to be able to see who was viewing the thread at the top of the page - helps to see what the LURKERS are up to! :roll: :lol:

[HawkMan]

I just dont find it as a falconry site ?
I find it as a chat room where you can talk about everyday issues and
have a laugh ,i must admit i do go over the top sometimes?
Which i should curb ?
I was 1 of the first members on here and from the start i knew it would catch on ,some people didnt think it would do so well .
Thanks for a great site .

Spot on Mickey; that is my biggest upsaet on this new look, it was good to see who is/has been viewing either your thread or a particular thread.

:supz: BRING BACK THE ALL SEEING EYE:supz:

I could do without some of the humour, especially as there is often better wit in the local public convenience. But that is probably because I'm senile.<vbg>

It might be an idea if everyone could remember this is a public forum with the posts available to the general public who will no doubt form their opinion of falconry and falconers from what they read. It is public opinion that (eventually) shapes our laws and decides whether our sport survives.

Otherwise, an excellent forum and definitely improving day by day. The sneers and jibes from the occasional idiot against anything they don't understand seem to be diminishing, but perhaps they are currently busy elsewhere.... <g>

[StormRider]

Yo JB. My mentor from moons ago had a really strong stutter, but it didnt stop him from being a great bloke and an excellent falconer. The amazing thing is, is that when he had a drink he lost it. Probably explains why he is ****ed most of the time (LOL).
I came onto this forum after it had already changed, and I find it very easy to navigate. Although I love falconry to a passion I really do like the fact that many of the discussions on here involve every day topics aswell. I also like the fact that regardless of what goes on here the public do have access and can see that we are all normal people. Yes some of the comments on the posts can be very tricky, but it shows that we really do care about what we do, and that we have nothing to hide like other traditional field activities. (U'll have to excuse me on this one cause I dont agree with the term 'Field Sports')

Personally, I find the humour pretty good, if a little overdone sometimes. There are one or two wits on here who make things readable. Even I have learned to lighten up, on occasion. It's the spelling that gets my goat at times, but that's just the way I am. I think it's a pretty good forum, all things considered.

[Tr1gger]

To be honest i cant remeber wat the old look looked like, i didnt like this look at first but i hav gotten used to it now.
:evil: I do miss the shoutbox though :evil:

I know Jim, but that involves leaving the thread and you then have to scroll through the usernames - I'm not that interested :rolleyes: :lol: :lol:

[Kentish Falconry]

I like it the way it is but it could be a little more user friendly, took me ages to learn how to post new threads and put piccy's up not being that computer literate I did have some problems.
As for the site it's self I find it good fun and informative although sometimes I feel it is better to keep out of certain threads when I can see it is heading for trouble.
Terry:supz:

[Sean]

when theres new posts, it sometimes says tehre aint, but u can view all thew posts in the last 24hr, i hate it

[Jack Merlin]

It's the spelling that gets my goat at times, but that's just the way I am.

I couldn't possibly comment! I just assumed they were foreign and due to their passion for the subject were lapsing into pidgen English....

Then, of course, we have a Doric speaking Pakistani. Are there, Moses??<vbg>

P.S. For those who don't know, Doric is what the Scots of the north-east claim is their native language. Da yer ken mae drift?

[Jack Merlin]

can not even begin to imagine what your driving at:lol:

Me? Driving? My dear old trout, I am as innocent as the newly fallen snow. Is it likely that I would cast nasturtiums?

P.S. I can recommend the Chilean Shiraz from Sommerfields at £2.99 a bottle....

[MattSpar]

I just assumed they were foreign and due to their passion for the subject were lapsing into pidgen English....

Of course. Me no savvy 'im fella talk pidgin. Man belong forum 'e speak proper talk-talk or 'e no have palaver wid me. Me learn English long-long time, me speak um bloody good. Man on forum no talkum proper 'e no sing-sing 'ere. Him use spellchecker 'e make talk-talk proper. Him no more 'e talk-talk pidgin one time.

[MickeyDredd]

is it Friday again already :roll: :lol:

[MickeyDredd]

Cheers Sparrow :supz:

[As The Falcon Her Bells]

I like that!! Excellent Sparrow, make you feel like you are with a bunch of mates (or not) when you can see who is on the thread!!
Excellent!!!:supz: :supz:

[Pitbull]

Putting piccy's up has always been a problem as you have to resize pics etc... unfortunately the forum doesn't allow you to upload pictures as you have them mainly because there are so many formats and sizes already, but also because it will take people a VERY long time to upload the full file size.

How can we make it more user friendly to post etc... ? We'd love to hear suggestions to improve the initial experience as much as possible.

everything is easy once you know how..:lol:
thats cool sparrow a bit like the chat room, not that I use it. It took me 1/2 an hour to type this short burst. I can understand why the kids use text short hand, though i cant stand it...:rolleyes:

[Saker-Clive]

Nice one Sparrow; THANK YOU :supz: 8-)

[Hawkmaster]

BlackBird, (Rep increased) well done on starting a very good and constructive thread that has already served dividends for the members and to all of you that have replied well done for keeping it respectable.

talk for yourself I hate it, cant get round to doing anything else for being on here..:lol:

[HawkMan]

Its like the queen vic ,lol

[Finnish]

Just seen that Sparrow very good..:D

[Tooker]

Out of interest...why do some members have senior member/brancher/passage etc etc as part of their profile whilst other members (some of which have been signed up for longer) have junior member/chick/egg.
Its a little confusing as most new people would be more likely to take advice more seriously from members with a senior member tag. Not all members with a senior member etc tag have birds/experience.
Just a thought..

[Coedhirion]

think it is better Sparrow!!! Took a bit of getting used to first couple of days, I couldn't find the smilies :lol: and am too brain dead to remember what to type.
strange how a lot of the old names have gone and a lot of new ones come in tho...Nothing you can do about that tho!!
Well done Sparrow...keep up the good work!!

as you post more, your status will go up; 0-50 posts= egg, 50-100 posts chick, and so on.
HTH:P

[Tooker]

:)
Cheers, I didn't realise.

[Coedhirion]

Cooooooo Sparrow !!! Posh reply to thread box and smilies on tap too :supz: Even got "words" spell check!! is that a hint for iliterates like me :oops:

[Finnish]

Coedhirion I just done that for you check your pm...:lol:

[Tim Laycock]

Can we have more than four smilies per post?

Im not happy and it must be killing Jastreb :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: (Thats yer lot!<g>)

[Kevin Massey]

the forum looks excelent...only thing i can see wrong if to be picky is the new
"new welcome panel in the forum display showing new threads in the last 24hrs, and new threads since you last visit." makes it look a little too cluttered with info that is'nt crutal and can be obtained by a click of a button, i know its only a trial.... and this is only my opinion

[Tr1gger]

I like it.
I kind of miss the shoutbox though. But i think poor old sparrow will hav a breakdown if i suggest yet more things he could do lol
Good job so far sparrow m8, i like been able to see who it reading the threads
well done, hip hip horray :supz:










............or not

[Kevin Massey]

the new chat is about the best it has been....far better than the shout box..i-m-o
