This was very easy in the previous version.

Has this been answered any where? Surely it can't be difficult to put a link to the main website from here?

There will be some changes to the forum but it is likely that these will be done as a bulk job rather than doing each one individually.

Thanks for the update. It had gone very quiet on here, although with the changes to the app and the website, some delay was expected.

Is it at all possible that this forum could be just that & restrict itself to general remarks as too how the last game went without the character assassination of some of our players/coaches etc.
It seems to me that for quite some time now just a few people feel the need to take over this forum & use it to their own ends.
Personal battles between one & other with sarcastic remarks to those that attempt to enter a post of an even handed statement, Unless this changes it will remain a stagnant area for the few & not a broad one for the many Tigers supporters who have been put off by the tactics/bullying of these few.

One of the many advantages of the breadth of topics and opinions (and prejudices!) on here is that you get to choose whether you look (and/or contribute) in depth or superficially. Some topics I enjoy in some detail - for the rest, 'mile wide, inch deep' suits me fine!

Of course there are those who may irritate or offend but 'each to their own'. Someone who irritates me may be a valuable contributor in your eyes. So - to cope with that, I recommend the Foes feature. I've no-one in there right now (no, not even...no, I mustn't...no names!) but, in the past, it's made my visits to the Forum much more enjoyable to be able to select users who I can ignore by default.

I think you are misunderstanding the purpose of a forum.

How can it not be personal. If someone states an opinion and I disagree with it, I am disagreeing with their personal opinion. As long as I attack their opinion and not them it should be fine. If I attack them then someone should report it the mods and have it pulled and me warned.

The forum actually seems fine to me at the minute.

It's now well over 7 months since we were asked to comment on the design of the forum. I appreciate that time has been spent on the website and app in the meantime, but has anything been done here? Not as far as I can see. Is the "ignore them long enough and they will go away" tactic being employed?

An ability to view pictures would be great as well, save us copying a whole team list

In response to Cageytiger, it has been 7 months since the introduction of the new forum. Changes are still planned but the clean up of data and the transfer to the new platform has taken longer than expected.
Also, the introduction of the New Tigers App has taken some priority in getting it set up and functional.
The changes are still being considered and will be made at an appropriate time.

Pedant alert. We were asked to comment on a "beta" version at the beginning of June last year. On the 21st June (almost 10 months ago) when I commented that everybody seemed to be seeing the "beta" version, given the number of comments, and that my link was taking me to the new version, Iain (who seemed to be "in the know") said that the forum was live but not the website.

New forum? No. It's a shameful reflection on the team. I've been posting tonight and the performance of the message board has been even worse than the Tigers on the pitch this season. Fans, players, coaches, managers, stewards, owners - whoever we are, connected to or employed by the club, we are Tigers. We are a team. 'Good enough' isn't good enough. Whether you're on the pitch, pouring a pint of :censored: in the ABC, selling a shirt or flying in from Jersey, we are Tigers. Forget that, and we're nothing.
