Still not a fan of Vanilla

in The Clubhouse
I know everyone who was here when the switch was made remembers the outcry...similar to the clock striking 12:00 in the year 2000:) I must say that while I've obviously gotten used to Vanilla, I still long for the days of vBulletin.

That's all I got for now:)

    I think we all have gotten used to it, kind of like an evil Mother-in-Law. I still cannot fathom the inability to un-subscribe from a thread. That's a basic function, no?

    That is soooooooooooooooooo annoying! I would love to unsub from the "deal of the day" thread.

    Vanilla is still as bad as always. Add in the over moderation, and the site has become almost unusable. Interesting that the other, more professional audio sites still use Vbulletin.

    The star for this thread is clear, not gold, and I am still subscribed.

    The star is white, and the only option it gives, is bookmark. No option to un-subscribe.

    subscribe doesn't mean bookmark?
    I'm confused!

    Turn off all of the notifications in, "Notification Preferences" in the control panel.
    Where’s the KABOOM?!?! There’s supposed to be an Earth shattering KABOOM!!!

    I want notifications for certain threads. Others, no. Once you post, you can't unsubscribe from the ones you don't want.

    now, who wouldn't be proud to tell his (or her) mamma, "I'm a Vanilla Administrator, Ma!"

    I am really confused. I get some notifications, but not many. With this current thread (as with all) I can click the star and make it yellow, thus receiving notifications, or I can click it again and stop. You are saying that you cannot do this?

    As for wanting some notifications, I just open the forum home page, and look for threads with "new posts." Those are threads that I have looked in that now have posts I haven't seen. This essentially acts like a notification system.

    We lost too many features, too much information and far too many members. Sadly, the forum has yet to recover, but at least it's hip.
