Format hard to use

09-04-2020, 07:11 PM

Hi, not wanting to sound critical or miserable but I find the way this forum is split on topics difficult, the Ducati co.uk forum is much easier to use, they have a technical section that covers technical problems, this forum seems to split everything into separate categories, I can see the thinking behind it but personally I find it a bit irritating having to search on different parts of your forum for different technical items, the vast majority of forums use the same layout as Ducati. Co.uk, I think there’s a reason for that!

I hear ya Mark,
this one has gown organically over a very long time,

The upgrades, will they allow us to upload pics without having to use a third party?

Good on you, Rob!

Perhaps I'd better wait on my irritating no-email-notification problem until the new more-magnificent version of the forum emerges!

I finally cured that particular problem for me!! I use the email program on a Macbook Air and even though I kept on telling it that the email from this site was not junk it kept on putting notifications in the junk mail folder.

As an old luddite it took me ages to figure out that if I logged into the online Hotmail email I could put this site's addy in the not junk folder,has worked ever since.

That will be great especially if its also mobile friendly.

I'm certainly no IT expert but am so used to going onto a FB group snapping a picture or two and quickly uploading to the group/s etc when compared to say using an older style forum.

Easy to sound overly critical (I'm not trying to be of peoples efforts on a free to use forum) but mobile friendly with direct uploads will be a day and night improvement for many I'm sure
