Onan the Clumsy,

Typical of you to blame this new format personally on Tony Blair!

David Cameron would have done just the same, it would be no different under a Tory Government.

British Aviation bulletins are at their very peak, we have never had them so good, you lot may crow and hark back to the TSR2board type but it was never proven and it would not have worked as it was too expensive and complicated.

Under this Govt we have the worlds best aviation bulletin boards and don't you forget it.

Re: Is anyone feeling nostalgic for the old format yet?

Well, if you Mods are taking notes of likes/dislike, the old board had a "Download/SaveThis Thread" option which does not appear to be on this new one. It was particularly useful for such long threads as the "Were You on Vulcans? thread in the Mil forum. I'd like to see that option re-instated if it is possible?

I've noted on other boards that the Rep(utation) thing is both childish and divisive.

And Proone, I firmly believe that it was political back-stabbing by Mountbatten and other Admiralty Oiks that led to the demise of the old board, which would otherwise still be in service today. Why the Hell this thing needs folding wings is beyond me...

Re: Is anyone feeling nostalgic for the old format yet?

Thank you for your comments and questions.

The go with the flow still stands and the flow is getting stronger. I understand from the gurus and techies working on the site that they are down to the 20 or so adjustments and plug-ins that need to be done. That means that some of the things you would like to see back, will be. It takes an immense amount of time doing the work and there are a few days yet to go - sad to say that Danny has gone down with a very bad dose of flu which doesn't help - very inconsiderate of him Knowing him he'll be back very soon battering the guts of PPRuNe and those who are also having sleepless nights.

Just to clarify ONE point. This was not just a case of putting in a new BB but was very much a case of carrying over a mass of stuff from the old BB's before this one and those before them. So it is a slow and laborius process.

This installtion took over 30 hours of work - WITHOUT the plugins so a tough task - no wonder he got the flu!

Won't be long now guys.
