QUESTION TO THE COFFEE SHOPPERS:
Back when we had to close the original Coffee Shop, C_K pinned the Coffee Shop so we would always be on top. But now with the new software, we are still pinned but are no longer bolded on the list like all the other threads and we appear before admin's instruction thread and as a result are pretty invisible. Would you be comfortable asking that we be unpinned and allowed to float and sink or swim on our own merits? And think about it, because we can at least find ourselves now with considerably more difficulty than we used to. If we allow the thread to float naturally that could make it more difficult. Or not. Don't know until we try.
I am discouraged that the posting from so many of our regulars has fallen off in the transition. I am becoming more comfortable with the new look but still feel irritated and frustrated that we have lost so much functionality that made the old software so easy and comfortable to use. But oh well. Even us old dogs can learn new tricks yes?
I never relied on the pinning to find my way here. I don't think The Coffee Shop will ever sink.
My posting has fallen not only here, but on the rest of the board as well, but it has nothing to do with the software change. I was starting to slack long before that.
I agree about the "pinning". I'm not even sure I know what that means; I navigated in here because it was a subscribed thread.
I suspect posting is down board-wide; some of it has to do with acclimating to the new system; some with the absence of a handy link to subscribed threads that have no new posts, which makes them elusive; and in some cases the loss of the rep system (the latter in here was a sort of superlative "like" level that's now gone). I think the board has lost some of its character, and that's going to simply make it less interesting.
Time will tell.
