Lefora forum & new forum thoughts

Post by Tinman »

I was thinking earlier that the updated Lefora forum abandonment might have been too hasty. Later today, I returned to Lefora to copy some of my posts. Most of the photos uploaded directly to the forum are all mixed up and have nothing to do with the post in which they appear. Only Photobucket uploads remain in good condition, the rest are a jumbled mess! I think some parts of the upgrade will be impossible for them to fix and Lefora has really screwed the pooch. I also received countless error messages while trying to view some photos that only come up as a link.

I'm having some trouble with double posts when uploading to the new forum, anyone have any insight as to what I'm doing wrong?

Hi Joe.
I think Lefora have screwed up the photos on the new forum, I don't think you could do anything to mix them up, it must be Leforas fault.

The Lefora update has been the worst i have seen seen on any forum since i bought my first computer in the mid 90,s,it was a total and utter waste of even bothering,which muppet decided grey text on a white background was comfortable to use.

The new format i like very much. :)

This is a disturbing trend I have seen on other web sites. I have a trust account at one particular bank which insists on using the same format (light gray on a blinding white background). To add insult to injury, the bank also has text so small it's impossible to read without increasing the size of the page on the monitor. Also, like Lefora, you need to be a software engineer to navigate the site.

I am currently going through an expensive process to move the trust fund to another bank just because the current bank's site is so difficult and obnoxious.
