Re: Digital Spy may be closed or downsized.
DS went downhill as soon as it was taken over and based in the US. Thats when all the reality nonsense took over.
Also certainly not the best of friendlist forums on the internet. I frequent a lot of other places that have better forums. |

I hope Cable Forum don't go for that look - too much white and some of the TEXT is too big. |
Re: Digital Spy may be closed or downsized.
It looks awful as if it was done as a primary school IT project :sick:

Re: Digital Spy may be closed or downsized.
Damn it is pretty awful :erm:
Then again, why do I care. This is the only forum I've ever been active on so I'm probably expectant of it being as basic and easy to use as possible, the best part of CF is just how simple it is. |
Re: Digital Spy may be closed or downsized.
.. and we intend to keep it simple for as long as is practical.

Also, it seems to take forever to load some links. At times I've had to close the site and start again because of this (unless it's just me). I think it could be the adverts that are now placed in between some posts that cause the problem whilst taking forever to load. Are these the issues that you mean Paul? |
Re: Digital Spy may be closed or downsized.
I never mentioned any specific issues.
After it came back, I went to look around and after a few minutes it locked Firefox up and crashed it, not wasted my time again since. |

We don't bash it for no reason, a bit like any break up, you really miss something that was a part of your life. We miss what it was, that's what makes us so angry. I agree it's still an excellent collection of topics, but the whole emphasis of the wider site changed. DS was originally a anorak site to talk about broadcasting, satellite tv etc and each "owner" of each part of the site filled it with news. It was excellent. What DS became is a celebrity dominated non-anarak site to try and appeal to the masses. Well, all the masses that like all the celeb rubbish, I don't. ---------- Post added at 12:16 ---------- Previous post was at 12:11 ---------- Quote:
It is though, an improvement on the previous look. ---------- Post added at 12:22 ---------- Previous post was at 12:16 ---------- Quote:
I think with this site (I'm starting to understand more about the mechanics of such things) is heavily modified which would have cost the owner a small fortune, unless he's done it all himself. So, simple to use, but not quite so simple under the bonnet. |

The only costs are the actual costs of the servers to run it. :cool: Those costs are covered by the small number of ads you [may] see. |
Re: Digital Spy may be closed or downsized.
The ability for users to vote up/down posts has hit problems already.
At first some members were homing in on particular people's posts and downvoting them, which led to bans/infractions. The problem continued, so the facility has now had to be suspended. |
