Some time I come here now and think, did someone think it's April 1st? I keep expecting some character to pop up on the screen with a big grin and say "Hahaha, just kidding."

*sigh*

Just admit it, this is an "iPhone Theme" and that's why it looks so terrible on everything but Safari. The losing of friends lists, DM's and such like that is an insanely huge flaw. Those things can't happen when people are paying to post on a message board.
Yeah...we all know now that is only gor iphones... again.....the rest can go to that cool fishing forum...Speedy know the details.

That this place might have been wrecked simply for iPhone use is just, just, just... Ahhh!

Anyone noticed that this thread is now a circular thing with the same users expressing their dislike?

Guys you made your point, any reason to make it over and over again?

I just wish my sevens and 13 member pack would deliver.

you are right Paul,after all the explanations and the all answers we got from the club,and all the solutions they gave to us,whats the point to post more here..?

pdalowsky · January 2014

Give them time Dimitris, they asked for feedback here,

They have made it clear this forum will stay, and im sure the tweaks will continue. I never expected them to put all man power on the forums, they have tours to prep for too, and orders to process, and god knows how many emails to reply and deal with every single day, as well as the various other duties and roles they perform.

They clearly put this to the IT team, whom will keep improving the forums. I didn't love it at first, but Im kinda cool with it now, the transition is never easy, but it'll all work out.

Theres some nice new features here, and Im sure it will only get better. But for everyone to keep posting their same issues wont help them at all.

dimitrispearljam · January 2014

paul,they just modarating the forum for suggestions.
they dont running the forum anymore,,a third pary does,nothing to do with the 10c people working for tours and merch orders or answering emails..
nothing fixed so far except the edit button and the birthdays of members than noone cant see..
i dont expect anything else to be fixed..
that doesnt mean ill keep my mouth shut,and dont ask questions.
and i have alot them,a few pages back

But the ten club do run the forum, although the day to day work on it is outsourced they still need to give the instructions to that third party, and to liase with them.

I dunno, the forum is a little over a week old, its a work in progress, but im sure it doesn't help them to see the same members make the same points. I mean if they really are taking note of feedback and working on upgrades, all that does is cloud their task.

we all have every right to ask questions, but if its really a case of wanting to be heard - it would surely be better to write to them directly than hope they see comments 43 pages into a forum thread and suddenly take note.

ah well it is what it is, this new forum seems pretty busy still, so perhaps the bump in the road is almost over and things are settling down.....

We get it. You don't like it. No need to keep saying the same things over and over. Plus, if your eyes are hurting it's likely because you spend far too much time here.

JimmyV · January 2014

I don't think saying something over and over again is anything new for the internet in general or this board in particular.

twisted thoughts · January 2014

I certainly spend far less time here after the update... I can't look at this screen for very long... its very hard on the eyes (And I stare at a computer screen for 8hrs a day as a job). I notice now that I have to sign in multiple times - on the site and on the forum are two different log ins? But the same username and password... And when I try to log into the forum, I've had to do it twice to get it to stick. I remember reading people had log in issues on the old forum, but I never did... And now its "fixed" and Im having log in issues. 8-|

Does anyone else find it funny that they're willing to outsource their forum management to accommodate higher traffic, which was never even once mentioned as an issue by the users, yet they are not willing to outsource their ticket sales which has been suggested by many fanclub members who have had issues with tickets over the years? Lets fix whats not broken. %-(

If you log in on the home page (pearljam.com), when you come to the forum all you have to do is click log in and you're done (yes, it logs you in without having to type anything). I think some of these problems are self propogated to somehow prove a point. It's actually EASIER to log in now. I log in on the home page, then click log in when I come here. If I'm on my home computer (or phone), I'm pretty much permanently logged in, so i don't have to do anything (or, I think at most I only have to do the 2nd part at the forum page - i.e. click, but I don't remember the last time in this past week I had to do that).

pdalowsky · January 2014

Havent had to log in here once since the site changed.,

and the one time the ticket sales went to crowdsurge it was an absolute disaster, so that's perfectly understandable.

Question is, who the fuck knows what's going on here. Did anyone even see this coming? For me at least it was just- wake up one morning, log in to 10C and WTF is this?? I hated it from the get go, I hate it now. The format sucks and pretty much everyone agrees with that. I keep seeing "Get it time" or"We'll get used to it". Isn't that how the world is? Don't we eventually just accept what's thrown at us and lay down like pathetic dogs?

Sorry if I sound too negative about this but, fuck me, if I said something someone doesn't want to hear.

I agree that I think part of the angst is it was announced the morning they did it with no other information (e.g. save your PMs). However, having seens stuff like this before, what's the benefit to them announcing a week ago - changes coming in a week? So, they could have a thread that conjectured what would suck about the change or demand certain things? If it was just the save your PMs, then maybe they would have done an earlier announcement. But, other than that, what did the short notification cost us the user? And by extension, what did it save them?

Change is never well received. Notice of change even less so.

Say whaaa?!?! It's the same thing. But wait. The text is smaller here. That might be a problem. hmm .. I wonder. I wonder if folks know about the Ctrl + or Ctrl - buttons on their keyboards? Buttons that makes the text on their screen bigger / smaller. It's like magic!!

One thing new I noticed is now I don't need to log in twice. Before I had to log into my pearljam.com account then sign into the forum again. Now, I'll fully logged in. Ah yeah!

Leezestarr313 · January 2014

Yeah, the font size is the major problem, at least for me. I don't dig the teal/ turquiose, but I can live with that. When Kat made the announcement thread I was asking if we should save our pms. They came in handy in the past for my immigration process, for example. I didn't lose any, I think. But nobody said save your pms, as far as I know. Not so cool.

dimitrispearljam · January 2014

in other words..
some members lost their user names,some not,some lost pm ,some found pm they already delete 10 years ago,some need to log in twice to get here and the shop and their acount,some never need to log in again..
so that transfer was peak a boo game after all with no quarantee anything..
if they warn us,i would save my pm atleast..was online when this happen,i clik to a forum and saw this:

Information

Please stand by for a change in our forums! The new Pearl Jam forums will have new features we think you'll love. There will be an adjustment period while we all learn how to navigate around, discover the new features and how things work. Happy New Year

It was a rather sudden punch in the face, wasnt it?
I keep coming back, hoping they will go back to the old or maybe I will grow accustomed to this enough to want to come and connect with my friends all over the map. Unfortunately, it seems as though its here to stay and I'm not getting any more used to it. It really sucks, but as I keep saying, I assume someone at 10C will get a report at some point that participation in the forums is down. There must be traffic stats.
