Whatever you guys did today it logged me out. I was able to log in on my chrome book but the login function doesn't work on my laptop using windows 7. ????/

This. And I'm going to fall back on something I posted a few pages back: Why don't you guys spend some time on the code that reminds paying members to pay-up when their subscriptions expire?

Since you are not doing that (and please, objective evidence exists that you are not) should we conclude that IB is no longer interested in serving a community that pays for the service?

Does IB have evidence that a community site cannot survive on users paying for the service?

Or, maybe IB would rather evolve into a company that derives its revenue, not from the community that its services form, but from advertisements and web-use tracking data? A company that treats those that craft the content that creates the enterprise value like resources to be harvested?

I can tell from some of the changes that you seem to be trying to bring a more-consistent cross-platform experience. You may even be trying to migrate from multiple platform-specific hacked-up code bases into something that more resembles a single cross-platform code base.

But, I can also tell that a lot of the changes seem to be designed to make more screen real estate available for ads. Maybe this is an unintended consequence of whatever mash-up of third-party APIs to which you are migrating?

Perhaps some of the 'problems' we report are due to attempting to layer APIs over the old vbulletin code? The recent issues with the 'insane cursor' suggest that.

Who knows?

There's no transparency here. The motives and goals are hidden from us. People complain most bitterly about change when they don't understand the intended goal and how the change will benefit them. Of course, they assume that when the goals of a change process are not transparent to them, that the goal is not to their benefit.

Are we sheep to be fleeced? Or are we members of a community that pay for the service?

You may have changed nothing from NextGen 2 to NextGen 3, but I wasn't using that theme, I was using the "Rennlist" theme. Put it back. I don't need the bar on the bottom of the window, and I don't need the top bar dropping down whenever I scroll up.

Fun fact - at least for me scrolling up is infinite, even though infinite scrolling is turned off.

Not what happened to me. In fact just the opposite happened. I suddenly got the infinite scroll when I didn't have it before using the old rennlist theme. And I still can't log on with my windows 7 laptop and only have access thru my chrome book. When I click on login I don't get the drop down boxes for entering my username and password, A disappointing fail from my perspective.

This is by and large the sole reason for any changes that have been experienced here at Rennlist.

I am not directly tied into the advertising team, but it's my understanding that we do 'move things around' a fair bit, but we are not increasing the advertising footprint.

I am not a 'tech' guy, but you are essentially correct. The CK Editor (I think) is open source, and worked great until iOS 11 dropped. We obviously haven't figured out what changed yet.

you make absolutely sound points that are inarguable. I will do better at communicating the why. I apologize for not doing so sooner.

cheers,

Which browser are you using on the win7 machine? I don't have access to a win7 machine, but are you able to try Chrome or Safari?
You can disable infinite scroll and/or related threads from within your userCP now, which means the settings are respected across devices/sessions.

@Voith please go here to disable them across all of your devices in one place: https://rennlist.com/forums/profile.php?do=editoptions

Thank you. That's much better.

Sorry for rudeness but I thought you've disabled old version for good.

Infinite scroll like this ever work on a phone?

Didn't we hear that they were programming for phones because that's all anyone logs onto rennlist with apparently?

Rally as bad as infinite scroll is on a desktop, it's many times worse on a phone.

Angle grinder with skinlike texture wheel would help greatly on infinite scroll phone.
