I think this might finally break my nest addiction.

I don't know. . .for some reason it just doesn't have the same feel.  I like the new features, but it just doesn't feel as easy to read.  I could use this change actually.

Re: I think this might finally break my nest addiction.

  • You and me both.. My head is killing me, just trying to read the posts. It must be the colors..
  • I agree! I hate how the posts go to the top. Less popular posts get buried. This board is too busy for that feature...
  • I couldn't agree more.
  • Yeah, I'm right there with you...  I'm hating the bumping feature too.
  • For me the worst part is how hte post keep changing order...that's annoying.

  • I'm with you too!
  • Angela-

    I said the same thing to Becky (BG82005) on e-mail this morning.  I'm not nearly as interested in using the board since this change.  The fact that the posts keep moving is driving me insane, and honestly, when I'm at work I don't have time to navigate through all that, I enjoyed the old nest because I could just pop on when I had a minute or two to catch up.  You're right, some of the new functions are cool, but I just don't have the time to learn them.  I will miss all of you though if I don't catch up, so hopefully I'll be able to find some sort of common ground.

  • Couldn't come at a better time...with the weather changing, I could use one less distraction to keep me from getting outside.  Or I'll just gmail chat even more!  Whisper

  • agreed.

     i'm getting so confused with all the posts moving around!

  • Lizzy - for me, the bumping up annoys me, but something else that I cna't put my finger on gives it a different feel, you know?  Something impersonal about it.  Who knows?  maybe that's a good thing. . .
  • I don't know... for the most part, I'm liking the changes!  I've been hoping they would make the last replied to post go to the top for a long time now!  That's what I'm used to with all my other message boards!
  • I know exactly what you mean, although I'm not 100% sure what that is either!  It isn't the same though!  Maybe we need to find another board more like our nest used to be so that we can still catch up with eachother, however, I agree with you too, that maybe the break-up could be good!  LOL!  I would be sad not to check in with so many of you anymore though, I feel as though I know you and your children.  Why did they have to change!?
  • I thought I'd love the bumping but not anymore.. I'm on less busy threads and it's fantastic, even does it on Fertility Friend boards which is awesome but.. I too find myself confused. Crying
  • there is way too much going on on the screen.  very annoying

  • Just logging on.. this is very strange!
  • I like the new format - what I'm not liking is the fact that I know how many times a post has been viewed.  I know that everytime I go back it counts again - but seriously - there are some that are in the 100's and it's kinda freaky - if there are only a set number of us posting - it's freaking me out at how many people are "watching."  I feel like the other board was a nice cozy little cottage - we all relaxed and talked, etc.  Now I feel like we're in some modern glass building that is just too big and too many people are coming in.  Not sure if this makes sense...
  • I have been on less it seems with each passing week.  Now add a layout I dislike and post getting buried, I give myself another couple of weeks at best.   I'll give it a bit, to see if I get use to it, but I dunno....
  • I haven't been checking this as much as I did before, that's for sure.
  • I couldn't agree more Angela. I hate this new format, and my obsession was getting out of hand. I hope those nestie gods are happy Confused
  • I hear you MJP about the cozy cottage.  I feel the same!  Thanks for summing it up like that!
  • i can totally relate.  this reminds me of when AOL changed their message board formats to go web-based and it was terrible... i no longer post there either... i liked the way it was.  i mean, i can see that some of the new features are nice/useful, but i don't think making such integral changes to the interface was the right way to go about it.
  • Ditto!  I just pop on when I can and w/ the old format I could easily see what was new and check in on the posts I was following.  I tried to come on this a.m. for a few minutes and it turned me off so I went to do something else, which is not necessarily a bad thing.
  • breaking for me too. I am so turned off by the ordering of posts, its too hard to follow, and I feel hte personality has changed as a result.

  • Completely agree. There's way too much going on with this new layout. Simple is better, Nest Gods...
  • I agree. I was just thinking that it was very easy for me to shut down this window for a couple of hours. With the old format, I couldn't keep off.

    Let that be a lesson to ye, Nest Gods. We weren't buying the products before, we're not buying them now, and we'll be even less of an audience.

    And why on earth do we need all of the regional boards in the left margin? Don't you think I could find Houston Newlyweds if I really, really wanted to? Maybe you could spread out this portlet into the left column instead (but why listen to someone who actually uses the board or works on sites like this?)

  • I agree, its hard to figure out...dont like the way things move around. and whats with the font...im irritated

     

  • I just walked anyway and when I came back I couldn't find any of the post that were there before. The bumping thing is not to my liking! I agree, this might help wean me off the Nest.
  • I'm not a big fan of the teeny tiny font.  It's making me quite cross, actually.
