What is happening to the Mobo section?

[ricky_s]

Only seems to be a few new topics on here at the moment?

Everyone is out on their boats

Sadly we have now been overtaken by Scutt yer Butt in total thread numbers whereas a few months ago, we were well ahead. I know the current version of the forum has been around for some time and for sure, it doesn't crash as often as it did, but IMHO the e-mail notification system is rubbish. The old forum used to give you e-mail notification of every post on a thread so you could keep up with a thread without going on to the forum and dive back in when you felt like it. The current e-mail notification system seems completely random and I, for one, lose track of what's going on in a thread so I tend to forget about that thread and make no further contribution. It seems to me, with some notable exceptions, that some threads don't get all the responses they deserve and possibly, that is discouraging forumites from posting

I thought we had "lost" the email notification, how do you turn that back on?

Its in the Edit Options section but it doesn't do what it says. It doesnt give you notification of all replies to a thread. Actually I think its supposed to notify you of replies to your individual posts but it doesn't even seem to do that properly

Sounds really confusing!!

I agree collectively we seem to have lost our mojo.

+1. The forum's always busier in the winter when the closest most of us can get to boating is talking about it...

I get enough email cr*p without adding more cr*p from here to my inbox.

I use the little arrow in the left column to remind me which threads I have posted something pointless and puerile.

I agree on this point. Mind you we have had a strange season this year.

 

[Mr Googler]

I think some stuff has been great.
wiggo vibrating, tales of boats being stuck abroad, return of the burgee, ups and downs of certain boat builders, raggie warfare and of course JFM's birth!! Perhaps I'm easily pleased but I love the forum. Some may wish for more conflict to make things "interesting" but there's enough of that all around.
Looking forward to the winter when tales of success and failure will be revealed and some good humour no doubt.

Viva la forum!!

Couldn't agree more Farsco...



Also agree with the Major about not wanting any more emails, I have currently got a massive stream of email/posts coming in from a Nordhavn site via Yahoo and can't stop them.
Even the moderator can't do anything, be careful which boxes you tick

Get yourself a gmail account and then mark the emails from Nordhavn as spam. You won't ever see them again.

Not exactly Searush
If you take a closer look you will note elastic ties with quick release jam cleats

midships have 'fender buddies' that attach to the guard wires.

Now that is 3 threads where we have discussed this , Ricky maybe right

In my opinion the recession has harmed the forum in that some posters are more touchy and the need to be cautious is even greater.
I delete 40% of my posts for the fear of upsetting someone, it cant be easy being retired and seeing investment incomes vanish.
Perhaps now is an appropriate time to apologise to any one I may have inadvertently upset, sorry.......I would never intentionally try.

The more I see that picture, the less I understand how it works.

I was thinking the same. Then i noticed the tie at the top of the stanchion, i think the fender line should be held by this tie ?
