ezzra Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 So is this how beloved TVF website going to be from now on? the right hand pane featuring days old posts showing they have just now posted while new posts are nowhere to be found? is no one there who can see that this site become unusable any longer and the 'fixing and updating' caused more damage to what it used to be?... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maha Sarakham Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 I'm more concerned with the excess of spam bots showing up on the feed personally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We feel your pain but have zero control over the "look and feel" of the site (hence all the mushrooms). Do try clearing your cache and cookies, my Test User is seeing the right hand panel with (reasonably) up to date entries. Clearing the spam that makes it through to the forum (you really don't want to see how much is automagically removed) is a manual job, we do it as fast as we can.

Pilotman Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 I can't say that I see that much difference. The right hand panel doesn't bother me, the graphics are fine and the website seems to work as it always has. I'm not sure that others are not just being hyper critical? 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simple1 Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 (edited) Is it correct World News forum has been closed due to management decision to concentrate on Thai topics? For me Thai News forum is also not accessible, has this forum also been closed down? Edited April 1, 2021 by simple1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post faraday Posted April 10, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 10, 2021 Well, I hope this is the right sub & the correct thread, so it doesn't disappear... As I said earlier, I'm really bored with the lack of topics or are less members starting new threads? Don't the owners - whoever they are, actually care about their income stream? 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Long ago when I joined TVF there were many interesting topics started about such Thaicentric things as night life and ladyboys etc. In recent years they appear to no longer be a subject suitable to post on TVF, though when one does get posted it generates a lot of replies, which indicates to me that such things are still of interest. I have my theories as to why they no longer appear, but better not post them. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have my theories as to why they no longer appear, but better not post them. The old hands here have had enough of the ladyboy threads and there are not enough new users to keep those threads alive. Hence the need for new users, see also the other topic about this. Either TVF needs to attract new users, or it needs to scale down and go back to a Thai Visa information site. At the moment it seems to be heading the way of the latter, although I think unintentionally. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because the terminally outraged-on-someone-else's-behalf brigade show up, virtue signal their "wokeness" at you, call you a racist or a something-o-phobe then go to ridiculous lengths to deny facts that don't suit their position. Not much fun. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I click on notifications when I come on line, read the ones that interest me. I click on "clear notifications" when I am finished, and when they are cleared I click on "View New Content" and from there onwards it is as it used to be.

Not much fun. Probably because in their minds they are right and everybody else is wrong, racist, ageist, a pedophile or just plain stupid. I have news for them. The world got along for thousands of years without them, and will do so for thousands of years more. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tifino Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 have you @Crossy determined whether the MAP on your vehicle is a Digital or Analog model? Just reconfirmed for myself that you can access online advice re each type... a simple DVM applied test might just shed more light for you?

If your involvement in the site is not in the capacity of the higher ups I am not sure why a mod would answer these questions. Somebody is in control of this site it just doesn’t happen to be you.

I used to be on a site called Oldfriends where one could look for friends lost over time. That site was bought by another company and the site closed permanently, presumably for economic reasons. The new owners didn't care that it was popular and useful- IMO they are <deleted>. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
