Just what was I to understand by this remark then dita ?
And please do not make accusations such as this "Please do not twist words just to create a bit of havoc. George45"
....remember the Forum Rules, NO PERSONAL ATTACKS !
It means exactly what it says, George. It means that the majority of members on this forum have been on it for years, not months, and if they were having problems with the way the forum was set up and working, they know very well that, over the years they just have to say something....and they have not.
The things you want to remove are to speed up the forum, but they will not improve the forum, except perhaps in your eyes because you will have made as you want it. Fast is not an improvement if there is nothing you liked left.
Your interpretation of dita's words so as to imply that we do not welcome new members could very well be construed as twisting, just as dita's response to that could well be construed as an insult. I tend to take posts in context and not as cherry picked parts out of a thread to make a point or an argument.
It is a pity you didn't think to frame your suggestion a shade more on the "I am finding the forum slow to load, what do you think can be done about it." and offer what irritates you as options to be removed. That way you may have come across as less "I know best" (because believe me, you don't know best) and would at least have ascertained the opinions of people other than yourself..and saved the arguments creeping into this thread.
I would like to repeat that I don't WANT anything ! - my post was in response to the request that is made on the forum homepage for 'suggestions for improving the forum' what I said was just a suggestion - I was trying to help but just got jumped on again.
All this is very upsetting.
