To be blunt, this forum is fking st in this day and age. When are we going to get basic functionality such as liking posts? I feel like you techs have the easiest job in the world and blame old infrastructure for the lack of progress.

Don't fix what isn't broken?

Not everything needs share buttons and a glitzy Web 6.0 frontend :P

I'd hate it if we had like buttons and avatars and signatures and all that guff. Keep it simple.

Not overly fussed about that either.....but to be fair, a decent search facility would be pretty helpful!

Search facility?

Google.

As in, type whatever you want into Google followed by Pistonheads.

If we introduce the like/dislike button, can we make every "dis-like" take one post off the poster's count? Also, instead of short bans we could reset the post count. it would be like losing a forum life.

Seriously though, please no changes. I am still shell shocked from the change of font and more recently the footer becoming 50% of the overall real estate on the screen. I still have some extension that prevents part of PH loading some areas and I use an add blocker because PH ads prevented PHs from loading. genius. Every change leads to a worse experience.

Shouldn't it be 'Is PH...' rather than 'Are...'?

PH survives on ad revenue driven my and others clicks. This isn't a charity business!

100% agree on avatars and sigs, not that Haymarket would tolerate the hosting for that anyway. I'm just asking for functionality from this or the last decade.

I seriously doubt Haymarket would care. Car Gurus on the other hand...

There is nothing wrong with the PH forums. It doesn't need fixing.

I just want these techs to stop stealing a living and ADD something. What are they doing day to day, apart from waiting for the bi decade outage.

Haymarket are unlikely to give 2 hoots as they sold PH to cargurus 3 years ago
