There is a section somewhere, that lets you be signed in 'forever'. It's a drop down bar somewhere. I have that, otherwise, I'd forget to sign in too. I find I'm not even looking at the site half as much as I used to. I suppose the house will be cleaner now at least!

Sorry don't like it at all. How annoying are all the stupid pictures, animations, what ever they are called. Particularly the 'Bart Simpson' pulling his trousers down thing. Sorry but this board has lost all credibility and is now as infantile as many other pony club/kiddie chat boards. Shame - the old message board was so interesting.

I don't hate the new board but I can't say I love it like I loved the old board. I just loved to see all the topics up at once and what was moving was obvious.
I like the personal message facility on here which allows you to get to know people better without having to give out emails like people did on the old board. Looking at peoples profiles can be interesting too. Now that I have kind of got the hang of this Forum it has given me the confidence to try joining another one similar to this, saddlesoap. Feel a lot more at home with all of you people though. I miss the fast moving threads that seemed to occur on the old board and the rough and tumble even if it resulted in being deleted(mods were brill)it was great stuff. Just seems to have lost the atmosphere but still the best in my opinion. Love Shirleynwxx

I dont like it either. I used to post on all sorts on the old board, but it takes so long wading through everything I have hardly looked or posted at all on here. I also find all the 'gizmos' irritating.
I like the fact you can be identified however, but can go anon if necessary. The nasty anons on the old board were a pain. I also like the personal message facility - but thats it for the plus side. Unfortunately more minuses than pluses now for me.

I now hardly bother to read the board.
I like the login in facility but it won't stop the nasty anons as even if IP can be identified it relies upon the IP not being dynamic. My IP at home is dynamic so I could be a nasty anon.
I like the board style on Enlightened Equitation and saddle up as I relly like the 'view new posts'
I now we can see the latest 50 on here but it isn't as good,

I like the new login system here etc, but I find it really slow. Doesn't anyone else? I get the top of the page and all the stupid adverts and then sit here for ages waiting for the actual thread to load - I can make cups of tea between pages!!!! Really frustrating

Mmm still not sure I like and agree with you Speedy about finding it slow, must admit I dont come on here half as much as I did. Think I preferred the old dg layout

The old dg was so much simpler that's why it was better/different from the rest. One click and it's there....I'd like the board alot more if it was simpler instead of all these different sections, I'm constantly going in and out of them all the time, does get a bit annoying, it's not as accessable

It's better in some respects, but not in others I think.
I work with horses all day, so when I come on I like to head strait for the NH threads. In the old days, you could see all the other threads too, so could stop off along the way if one caught(THT) your attention(THT). As you now have to make a concious effort to go into all mirriad of horse posts, I tend to run out(THT) of time. Aha - maybe that was the intention - the whole board has been set up to stop Stella lowering(THT) the tone of the proper horsey threads ! Well in that case it can be deamed to have been an outstanding sucsess !!!!
(please not that in deference to those who dont like gizzmos, I have used none !)

I also think its totally different now, nothing much distinguishes it from the other horsey chat sites. I do like it, but the old DG had a lot more character!

There are so many things which I don't miss about the old board. The endless messages which we left each other FAO .......... ( the new pm facility does away with all of those ). The upping of every thread where people wanted to draw attention to something and the thread just ended up with UP sixty seven times !! The silly posts where someone just put one letter or a number but nothing in the message ! The fact that someone could get ripped to pieces after posting a photo of their horse, just because they had barbed wire fencing or manure in the background ! The fact that people could actually impersonate others and write what they liked ! The endless rows caused by people coming over from other boards as anons !
If those have been left behind, then I for one feel that this board is a real godsend and of course, we now know just how like minded IH people there really are ... last count was getting on for 1200 I believe ! Wow.

Agree with you Lorraine, there was constant moaning all the time on the other board about the non horsey posts and the nasty anons, still i suppose there will be moaners whatever you do wont there?? thankfully as you say, 1200 people have joined this Dg so it cant be bad can it??? eileen xx

Well I think its ace before the new dg i would never of dared post me piccies and now i do loads and get loads of good feedback I like to pm people too. You can get your info from the horse health and know your going to get positive help not a load of crap. Also i enjoy the general horse chat as its like the old dg without the rubbish!! The NH bit is good and we can have little games and stuff now which are always entertaining. All in all its fab! And i remember the old dg before it closed then reopened again so iv been onfor a long itme considering im only 16!!
