As a Grumpy old Git i agree

The sad bit is that many of these 'observations' that have been reported over the past few weeks seem to have slipped off the radar and therefore have no focus. Maybe next week we'll see the promised land list. 
Do you mean the black Full stop?
I guess so since black is the new red. 
WOW i cant belive someone thought that idea of adding a BLACK / RED full stop would be OBVIOUS to all , that it signified a new post 
Has no one thought of using the word NEW ! as they did on old forum
Just a minor point though, the word NEW takes up more room than a blob 
The idea being that you want to give the title/date etc as much space as possible, yet give a clear visible indication, especially to those with visual impairment, that it's Unread. It's also important that it's usable and clearly visible on a mobile phone without having to zoom or scroll a mile.
All of which is getting away from the original "Grumpy Old Git" post about splitting up the abominational conglomeration of the three old boards.. Windows Software Linux and Technical
However... the light came on last night, just before I was going to sleep.... NO.. Not literally, a sort of "eureka" moment .....I suddently thought that this will never happen, for a very simple reason... and it is usually the simple reasons that get overlooked in the planning stages, but become more and more important as reasons for "NOT" changing anything after the change has been implemented.
@jaread83 @LouisaMartin @PlusnetLiaml and others, who "know" about these things, will put out messages about planned changes "In the future" , on regular monthly notices of intentions, and omit the splitting of the boards, ( as an oversight or something ).implying that we have more important things to do before we get around to that one, etc, and will not be rushing to do any board splitting...
because, the longer they can leave it as it is, they can claim two things...
the first of which will be something like... " The new board seems to be working alright as it is, so why change it"..overlooking the fact that the customers are the one`s who are struggling to use it, ( not them ).. as best they can,.not because they like it..
If you have two pairs of shoes, one with a hole in, and the other in usable condition, you have a choice, when it rains... you can change your shoes, or put up with the one`s with holes in... Unfortunately, it looks like we are going to have to use the one`s with the hole in
and the other one that will come a few weeks later will be something like
" Well, it`s too late to do anything about it now, because we haven`t got the time/manpower/willpower to go and sort through all those threads and re-direct them to the three old board titiles again...
Imagine cutting out all the news items in a newsaper, and all the financial, and letters and other reports, including all the sports reports, ..... all in pieces, in a large box... it will be difficult to find the piece of news or sports report that you want from all that mess,....so you won`t bother... and the same goes for the perpetrators of this crime, they will decided it is too difficult to sort them all out into the proper recoginised groups, and use every excuse to not do it.
so you will have to like it and lump it."
Of course... as with everything else.... I could be wrong.... But I doubt it...
