    The like button (and other buttons) have been removed.

  • Are we all being unmasked? Being forced to sign in through our facebook? Did Zuckerberg buy the Nest?
  • I dunno. FB and Twatter weirdness aside, I think there are appealing parts of the new format. From what I remember, it made picture uploading easier--you could do it from your harddrive--and had some nice features with text formatting?

    Whatever. As long as I don't get demoted to a noob I'll be OK

    so much to hate about the new format. I was hoping to see some of the feedback they have gotten about the locals taken seriously before doing the nationals, besides the social media.

    like ugly emoticons, no more 'back to top' link, no jump last reply/page link for multi-page posts...

    Wait, what? They just scrapped one of the better features? I need to take a field trip over to one of the local boards, I think

    I like that feature too! Darn. 

    Warning No formatter is installed for the format bbhtml
  • I noticed on the local that you can't delete a post anymore.  Did they decide you shouldn't ever delete something or are they bringing that feature back to the National boards?

    Really? hrmmm... I actually haven't heard this problem. I'll ask and see if I get an answer.

    Yeah on the posts I make I can only 'quote.' 'edit,' or 'reply,' but not actually DD anymore.  It sort of sucks, but it's not like I used it too much.

    I actually wouldn't mind this, as I've grown slightly embarrassed about how long I've been here.  Maybe this will be the kick in the pants I need to move along.

  • I'm confused, will you have to be on Facebook to have

    access?

  • My recollection is that it was harder to Nest from my phone with the new format than with this one, which would be The Suck since about 95% of my interwebs activity is done from my phone.  Throw in the inability to see the posts via most recent reply and phone Nesting may not be worth the effort.

    With that said, I'm full of sh*t if I think I'll give up the board.  I once came back after being away from over a year, FFS.  I need Nest rehab.

  • That's nice and all but WILL THERE BE A SEARCH FEATURE??????????

    (yelling in case Nest Headquarters can hear me)

    All of this right here.

  • I hope it doesn't go all to hell. I'd be sad if you all abandoned this board for the Facebook group. 
  • I can read from my phone, but I can't respond. I emailed the nest gods about it and they said they'd get back to me.

    The new format/coding is all wonky on my work computer too and when I try to respond, the reply box is about the size of half my pinky so I can't see what I'm typing, I also emailed the nest gods about this and they said they'd get back to me.

    That was a month or two when the local boards switched over. Shortly after that my local made a proboards site and it's awesome. No errors, search function works, everyone is defaulted to reading the board in bump mode.

    I really do try to be understanding about changes and in the past they haven't been a big deal, but on the new format I can't nest from my phone or from work. Uhhh... that's 98% of the time I'm on the nest. It really sucks.

  • I am always slightly in awe of the way this very bad forum with many poorly thought out features keeps getting upgrades that make it worse. It is truly remarkable, when you think about it. Im not even being snarky - it is genuinely like whoever makes the final decision has never actually heard of the internet.

    There is a slogan I used for my record label sometimes that fits right here:

    "The Nest - making today worse, so tomorrow seems better" 

  • I just tested on a local board and I can post from my phone but the response box is indeed strangely small and the inability to sort by last post SUCKS. It's a wall of confusion with the mixture of old and new "most recent" responses. 

    Somebody please tell me the sort option is there and I just don't see it. Threads are going to die quick deaths if they just get pushed down the page.

    I did. That's how I respond now, but it doesn't work with the new format. :(

    In my life, I've quit drugs, drinking and smoking, all cold-turkey.

    I was once gone for 2 years and came back. Embarrassed

    You bitches are just so damned entertaining!

    ETA: LOL and a big fat DITTO to everything Reeve said.  I'm in awe of it myself.
