--- Quote from: Ranayna on April 28, 2021, 08:54:39 am ---I have to admit that my eyesight is not getting better. I rather like the larger default fonts of Xenforo and increased spacing. Whitespace on the sides can be adjusted, and the discussions of whether it is sensible or not to use the full width of the screen are as old as widescreen monitors are. I have a good comparison for this aspect, one forum that i am also active in has a narrower view, another that i am only occasionally visiting has a full width view. I personally prefer the narrower view, i find it easier to read. The full width view has enourmous amounts of wasted space, especially on shorter posts. --- End quote --- I don't see how either of those points count towards using different forum software. 1) If the fonts are too small, change the browser's zoom/text setting. 2) If you prefer the narrower view, adjust the window size. I've put a user, who shall remain nameless, on my ignore list, because they keep adding unnecessary line breaks in their posts. Many other members and I, politely asked him to refrain from using unnecessary line breaks and to allow the forum to wrap the text, but he didn't listen, so I blocked him. |

Discord Only has advantages, whats is the dow side? --- End quote --- Well many of the people at the Arduino forum don't like it, and they're obviously trying it, example - --- Quote ---Congratulations, forum team, you’ve just choose the absolutely worse layout and working style that you can choose from all the various possibilities available. I understand that in a world filled of impaired peoples able only to run around with a smartphone glued to the eyes, choose to transform a decent forum in a bad and ugly copy of a smartphone screen may appear a good solution, for peoples that don’t know how to manage SMF scripts, but this is NOT that what the most part of the serious users was expecting from you. The actual forum is totally absurd and totally bad. Period. https://forum.arduino.cc/t/do-you-like-the-new-forum/847695/54 --- End quote --- |

Discord Only has advantages, whats is the dow side? --- End quote --- Clearly you have NO clue at all :palm: Discord searches and index's terribly within its own format and google all but ignores it - FAIL Discord sections become like Farcebook timelines and are IMPOSSIBLE to follow a technical focussed discussion on. Ever wonder why Yahoo groups more or less went the way of the Dodo? FAIL Discord SUCKS as can be witnessed by the complete lack on content on the EEVBlog option and the only one I have seen come close to working in the Electronics area is Jon Oxers Home Automation one as it is a very small tightly focussed niche group. Even this group is a shocker to try and follow an ongoing discussion and content gets lost. Any other FAILS for Discord needed? |
