Let's hope this is a good omen and that some of the other problems will be rectified soon!

Evidently no one has made any effort to put our tread titles and links back on this board.

They were removed a few weeks ago, and they are still gone.

When we do a search, we are shown links to posts, but when we go to the posts, we can't tell what forum they were posted in.

I'm talking about this type of heading:

Forum Home » General Discussions

Here's an October 18 Google Cache, showing the two lines of headings above the posts in this General Discussions thread as being:

We are missing the line of hot links at the top of this and
other thread pages that tell us what forum we are in, with
no link to get us back to the FORUM HOME page.

See this Google Cache from Oct. 16. This contains
some of the original elements of the old board before
the recent changes were made. We are missing this
line of hot links:

I'm sure we all look forward to the when...with the reasonable expectation that it be sooner rather than later.

You are not giving us hope that things will go back to being easily navigable.

I'm sorry if that's what you took away from my comment, as that's not what I meant at all. I do think you'll see fixes. It's a question of when, not if. And sometimes people have unrealistic expectations about the when.

I'm going to assume you've worked with computers for long enough to know that there are times when you can't undo a change when you make it. Formatting a hard drive, for example. Or upgrading an Operating System.
Yes, I'm familiar with that. But I'm thinking the changes that have caused problems with smooth navigation of the Board are with programming the "html" language not hardware problems.

I don't know anything specific about the TCM forum, and I am speaking specifically about my experience with other forum software. There are times when changes are necessary because of technical limitations of the server or database. And sometimes, changes cannot be undone without causing massive errors or crashing the entire forum.
All the more reason for the "programmers" to be careful with their mucking about in the system.

My point is that just because it used to be one way does not mean it is as simple as flipping a switch to change it back.
You are not giving us hope that things will go back to being easily navigable.


Please don't invoke the Greek Gods. You know how upset Hera can get when you question her commands.

Please bump up our concerns and requests to Zeus. Apparently these issues are above Hera's pay grade.

Fred, better you should have Letters of Marque. Then, you could pirate threads to your heart's content. :)

This is obviously TCM's way of saying they don't want long-winded posts.

Yeah, but I've got Letters of Transit signed by General De Gaulle himself! What's this world coming to?
