It's just too bad to stay as it is
-
Browsing the forum as it is at the moment is just... Not worth it. It's too annoying. Each 30 seconds connection is lost, then you're randomly kicked out and have to login again but each time this happen there's an unnecessary captcha to make things even more annoying.
I really want to browse the forum, there's lots of interesting stuff but I guess people won't have this bs for much longer. Just close it already until it's fixed or at least revert it back to the old one. If it's so hard to fix make another one, I'm sure there are lots of people here who would gladly help with that, myself included.

I totally agree with you and I have exactly the same feeling: I would like to answer and publish more things in the forum but those two annoying messages all the time make me participate less than what I wanted...

Same as you. Late last year before the redesign, I visited the forum almost every day. But now, don't wanna open the forum at all.

Dont expect too much, bc this issue is "not a high-priority" to staff to fix.
bi4smooth said in Bookmarks missing and suddenly logging out while in forums:
There are known issues with the forum site. It is believed that the issue is with the load-balancer service (CloudFlare).
The issue self-resolves, so it is not a high-priority item to the admins.

I know... they are not really interested in getting it fixed... it's obvious...

@andergarcia it also sucks that even though there's a forum for site suggestions, when you propose something it's ignored unless there's a high number of people proposing the same
It sucks. -

I sadly agree. The forum is pretty much useless now. It's a real shame, because it used to be that people posted lots of thoughtful comments--some gay-related, other household hints, etc.
It's especially tragic given that occasionally there would be a post from someone, likely young, experiencing serious depression and seeking support, or at least conversation, from people in the forum. This new forum software has likely destroyed that mechanism.
Even if things got fixed, I think enough people have been alienated from the forum that it will probably never return to its previous value.
