@slmkhoo To add on to this post:
Another thing I miss is the “New unread posts” or whatever it was called - for regular users, it was so much easier to go through that list than to remember which specific threads we were following. Can we have something like that again?ya agree .
Hope the change to show the order of Old to New post , just like the old forum… i get a bit giddy trying to locate the pages

@ChiefKiasu the problem is more than just reverse coding. I notice that during the first week after the revamp, the number of visitors hovered around 30+ but right now, it’s only 10+ online at any one time. I remember how active ksp forum was when there were new educational policies but thanks to the revamp, ksp forum was dead quiet despite the GEP revamp and other educational initiatives announced during the recent NDR.
If this forum is not active, who wants to keep logging in to check?
The first page is full of advertisement, sooner or later, your advertisers will notice ksp is not getting the number of eyeballs they want, they will also stop advertising here.
I don’t know what you have in mind, but users still find the new format confusing / not user friendly after months of revamp. It simply means that something is not right.

Thanks for your suggestions! I agree that the new forum really needs work. HWZ uses a paid forum so is of course much better, but we should do much better than what we did. I’m sourcing around for another vender who may have better suggestions and would appreciate some inputs. -
@ChiefKiasu We were mostly happy with the old format, I think, so maybe try to do something similar unless people want specific things changed? At the moment, so many things have changed (mostly for the worse in many people’s view) that it’s hard to know what to comment on!

@ChiefKiasu happy to hear you are willing to improve the site. This is a very useful site tbh and it will such a waste for viewership drop because of tech issues. Not sure if I am reading your reply right, that you need inputs. Sure, happy to help. We are a bunch of people with nothing better to do with our time haha. I am in the digital marketing space. You can poll users using Google Forms each time you want to make a change, and decide based on the response? Then it is a decision “guided” by your users?
(man oh man, i tried editing my post for typo errors. cannot be done because cross the 5 second rule. lol.

Dear all,
We are in the process of reversing the order of the posts so that posts are in ascending order instead of descending order as it is now. Apparently it will take some time as the posts have to be reordered as such. I’ll let you all know when it is completed.

On a side note, is there anything/more that can be done to weed out and/or prevent spam accounts? I haven’t encountered them on other forums I’m on. Might be just me - but they kinda mess up and “pollute” the forum and affect it’s image (esp. when some includes offensive/obscene messages).
Not sure if it’s due to inactivity of other members, but the spam issue seems to be getting even more serious.
-
@chenlaoshi Yes, the spam is bad. There is this “indonesian” syndicate that comes in every couple of hours to spam, which I have been deleting at the same rate.

Is it possible to limit New members to restrict how many new posts they post?
-
@Stevenage That is a good idea. However, I will manage the spammers every couple of hours right now and we will see how that goes.
