I've said from the get go that I hope they get the board fixed over there. I initally thought it would happen quite a bit faster, but it seems losing members is what it took to get the ball rolling. Hopefully they'll get it together. I'll be here untill then , but i'm sure i'll check int here as well once they get it fixed/ if they fix enough of it to make is less of a pain to use As to suggestions- my biggest gripes that would / should be simple fixes? 1. Color scheme 2. scroll bar 3. having to click 200 tabs just to get to a post , thread, board and see all the replies.

My gripes -
1. No private messaging 2. No cool screen names 3. Black background is eye-watering. 4. Scroll bar doesn't work well. 5. How are replies posted? I can't seem to follow who replied when. 6. Having to click a million times like JJ77 said.

I feel right at home here. There is real discussion going on here. Over there, it is just comments. I don't know exactly what it is that feels so screwed up over there, but it is useless for those of us who participated alot on the old forum and want to do so now during this new season.
It feels so controlled over there, and it feels moderated, and it is not quick nor easy to use or follow. I see no reason to frequent that site. This one is perfectly fine.

Some good news. HBO has shown us some of the immediate changes that they will be making and it looks like they are listening. Some thing are more complicated to change so it will be an ongoing process. They responded to my post about the feedback I got here right away. They are asking questions back to me so watch this thread so you can get your voices heard.

so what are the changes they have shown "us" ? and which are going to take more time? I went over there after reading your post , hoping something new had happened... not so much. well, unless you count a new promise to make it better. (and the deletion of all threads / posts complaining about the site) Not to sound too cynical here, but i'm sure they did respond to the feedback that came from here ... considering this is where most of their "Big Love" users went. Sorry withay, dont mean to shoot the messenger lol i appreciate your efforts ... I'm just kinda over the whole hbo site and their lack of initiative. The season has passed the 1/2 way mark and the only time they've been functional (IMO) was before the change.

Sorry withay, dont mean to shoot the messenger lol i appreciate your efforts ... I'm just kinda over the whole hbo site and their lack of initiative. The season has passed the 1/2 way mark and the only time they've been functional (IMO) was before the change. Sorry I was not clearer. When I said "us" I meant the people who volunteered to be on the Taskforce. They have a site set up where the proposed changes are set up for the taskforce to see and comment on. * Registration changes. When you register, there will be pop-ups that explain why information is requested and who will be able to see the information. It will be clearer than it has been and will help people figure out how to use a nic instead of their "real" name. * Posts will be in chronological order. No more putting a new response in the middle of a thread. * You will be able to choose whether you want newest posts first or oldest posts first. *You have the option of choosing to go to another page at both the top and bottom of the page. Now you have to scroll back up to the top to go to another page. * They are also working on "sorting" issues. I am honestly not sure what all that encompasses so I am waiting for them to give me some explanation so i can respond. These are just some of the things I remember off the top of my head. Overall, what they showed us seemed to be smoother and less complicated. I also have to give them credit because someone has responded to every post and question I have had within 24 hours. To me, that means they really are paying attention and trying to make things better. So, again, if anyone has specific complaints or suggestions, I will be more than happy to send them on. I can tell you that they have made No Promises on the color/contrast issue. I will emphasize that in my next post to them. I am afraid that the changes will not be completed before the BL season is over also. I just keep reminding myself that BL is not the only show HBO has. I am just hoping they can work out the bugs before nest season starts.
