Thats weird then, if you click on his username and click "find all posts" by him, there is only one page of posts that actually exist, the other 316 just error.

Not that it matters a feck anyway, i personally couldnt care less what my post count is.

Apparently not. According to Redkop the 17 thousand abstainers like the two rooms but can't be fucked to vote
The poll still doesn't reflect a true percentage....

By Stu

Some simple PassionFord facts to consider:
Yesterday alone we posted 2438 posts on PassionFord.
1857 of those were in general Discussion.
581 posts were made elsewhere.
2041 SEPERATE people visited us yesterday.
6899 Visits in total yesterday (total fresh visits by IP's)
So only about 5-6% of the users have voted - that means to me those that haven't voted must approve of it - otherwise they would've voted their disapproval on the poll to get one room back.

Think about it.

So sorry, the poll counts for sweet FA.

83 votes for one room is a minority vote.

Howdy,

Right, I prefer the one room. My reasoning is I don't get a chance to just sit on here all day any more and short of occasionally popping into the Ladies Room I just bomb onto the General tab to see if anything is of interest. I know there are tons of rooms but I don't have the time to go through them and are probably of no interest to me (I may have a cossie, but am hardly technically minded ) I came on briefly yesterday, saw the two rooms and thought balls.. I can't be arsed

But hey, you asked for opinions and so that's mine

Ok, but again... why?

What difference has it actually made to you?

By your own admission, you used to miss the content of 45 rooms.. now theres 46... but the one you like to see regularly is now easier to navigate surely?

And if your not up for car chat, this new room is FAR better as it moves at less than a 1/3 the speed of teh old one.

Sometimes I really thinking Stu is damned if he does, damned if he doesn't.

Can't believe after all this effort people aren't willing to offer some constructive critism or even just try changing their ways for a trial period before writing it off.

I don't mind either way TBH, but what about trying 2 columns on a page and shorten the date info?

I prefer the two rooms as I can wade through the crap if I have time to kill but other times I jump on and just want to view a through threads where I might have posted.

All I think would be a good idea is a link to Page 1 of the opposite General Discussion room so people can flick between them.

Sometimes I might only have 5 mins to jump on and also if I am at work I dont want thread titles containing bad language. Work are lenient but if someone complains then I would have to stop.

this is a very good idea! okay, maybe it's a bit confussing (I know cause I run my own forum) but the General Discussion Room became way to BIG!

So respect to Stu, Pet and all the admins on Pf for this great new feature.

I liked the mix before, but to be honest I think this way will be better after getting used to it.

Must agree on the point of threads disappearing onto page 2 at busy times. That was a bit of an issue IMO.
