I wonder why.
RE: The end has been delayed - videomonkey - 24-02-2020
"Complications behind the scenes". If I had to guess I'd say that because the messageboard software is very outdated it's a big job to modify it.

No delete button? ?

They had the "Go Nuclear" option with banning members - cant see why it would be hard to "ban" threads in the same manner.

Threads maybe, but entire sections? Depends when they built it if they ever thought they might need to do it.

They should upgrade to myBB like we have got here

Haha true. Maybe they added an "add" function but not a "delete" one
Nothing would surprise me.

IIRC, TM upgraded it about 10 years ago, and not much else has been done to it. TM has changed hands since then and they likely don't have the guy who built it working for them anymore lol

RE: The end has been delayed - Praktica - 24-02-2020
I actually prefer the simple style of the TM boards.
RE: The end has been delayed - crafters_corner - 24-02-2020
Yep, I do too.
Once TM do get rid of the boards that are going, it will be a bit of a pain to have to remember that I can't just nip across the hallway to post (I'm there, because I trade), that I have to go out my front door, and walk half a block up the street, to get here.
RE: The end has been delayed - videomonkey - 24-02-2020
If you bookmark this website, it's just one click to get here.. which is the same amount of clicks it takes to get to the Trademe boards
RE: The end has been delayed - Admin - 24-02-2020
And you can keep another tab open at the same time and if your login details are saved in your browser it makes it easier.
RE: The end has been delayed - olwen - 25-02-2020
I keep a lot of tabs open. Probably too many.
RE: The end has been delayed - Oh_hunnihunni - 25-02-2020
And the exercise is good for us?

Got used to the convenience of the boards being in the same place as I work.
No complaints. Am happy to click once to be here.

It's a right pain in the rear end to be left hanging while they sort out their "Complications"
I went to my chrome settings and add the tab to my current pages on start up so it's there with all the other tabs I have open lol
