    ..........they go and and on and on
    Surely this int good for the banter of the site.
    I always thought if a thread went on for more than 10 replys then it were time to start another thread

    What we have got now are threads that are reminicent of W.in.dys famous........'is there a God'....post

    Gally.......Nay lad....nay!!!

    If owts good I will tell thi
    I can be, and I am known to be, brutally honest
    the flip side of this is when summerts not reight........I tend to bang on and on and on abart it

    Firstly let me say that everybody is very very grateful for the work Gally and the team have put into this message board
    Without this message board the world would be a duller place
    This meassge board is FANTASTIC
    However........in my opinion the old message board was better
    But if improvements can be made to this new message board then that would be good

    Improvement including;
    Able to post icons
    More icons
    Easier to read
    Get away from a full sheet of words when you open up the site i.e. each thread has a space between them
    Dont have to press buttons twice to get the title box to show
    There needs to be less going on the board, that is to say user friendly and easy to use

    There are no more long / multiple page posts on this new format BBS than there were on the old one IMO.

    i have now found a workaround to my replying issues so im now 100% convinced that this was a good move. nay BRILLIANT move.. the old board was a thousand times slower than this. and its speed that counts IMO..

    AND ANOTHER THING !!!......whats all these full set of replys doing in the Title Box

    Yer know what i mean

    At one time you could only see the Title which you had to click on to then see the full post
    Now it seems that the full post can be put on the board where previously it were just the list of Titles
    This makes the appearence of the message board even worse........FFS.......Yak !!!
