I liked Telemachus being dominant and forceful in that weird battery thread Did make me giggle. Rog Well really, there was a load of hysterical twaddle being spoken. The trouble with now being a frequent poster on dung heap forum is that I risk forgetting myself when in full steam posting mode on CWDF. However my assertiveness didn't seem to ruffle many feathers so things there are looking up. Anyway, if you want dominant and forceful, pop into my dungeon sometime. You are so gay.

OMG it's all very social media and style over substance.
The font size looks tiny my huge smartphone screen - my eyes!!! Was it supposed to be an improvement for mobile users?
Oh well dung heap only for me from now on, no great loss I suppose.
(RSS feed for new content would be nice but I doubt that will ever happen.)

To be honest, I don't care what cwdf looks like. What I find funny is people who post more there than here, coming here to moan about what it looks like there.

Is it an automated service which "feeds" information to your device based on its importance and relevance to the criteria you have selected. For example you may wish to have rapid updates of stoppages but not be interested in someone's battery management software issues.
RSS stands for "Really Serious Shit"
something like that anyway.

A puzzled Luddite would be grateful for a translation It's basically a notification system for new content. It needs a fairly decent web browser with RSS support like Firefox desktop, then the followng link will allow you to subscribe via RSS: thunderboat.boards.net/rss/publicI also use the Liveclick addon, which extends the features and gets something like Doesn't get much love from 'a large internet advertising company' as it can't easily be debased with advertising and doesn't appeal to dumbed down users. Don't beleive me...? : en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Reader

Just posting a reply now, I noticed that the option to preview how the post will look appears to have been removed. That is a serious impoverishment of usability if so [especially for anyone using a 'Word' document beforehand to copy and paste, and if using photo links that might or might not work].
I would be grateful for some clued in person to show where I have missed something obvious.

I do hope the eejits who introduced the changes occasionally come over here and read our comments.
the comments on CWDF are, of course, very mild mannered, like a vicar's tea party for middle aged spinsters.

I refer you to Kris's comment - he's right as well. Why the fuck should most of us on here care? And more to the point, this site shouldn't be used to help make their decisions (and isn't or so we were told...) Man up and make your voice heard if you dislike it that much. To be honest, I don't care what cwdf looks like. What I find funny is people who post more there than here, coming here to moan about what it looks like there.

Believe it or not, both sites have their pros and cons, and the number of threads and posts on CWDF far exceeds this place. Ho hum, each to his own ........

I would be grateful for some clued in person to show where I have missed something obvious. Icon right hand end of reply window toolbar, looks like a magnifying glass over a sheet of paper. You can then choose to see how you post will look in different types of browser (desktop, tablet, phone)
