    I absolutely, positively, unequivocally HATE it. To the point I have absolutely no interest commenting after this comment.

    I basically lost my entire Detroit Tiger's franchise, due to the HTML not working, and the "Dynasty" section not transferring over. All the box scores I had saved as individual posts are now gone. The game highlights from Youtube are no longer embedded, etc.

    It's a complete mess, and it has for all intents and purposes driven me away.

      It also appears the Madden board has been raided by either bots or other forum posts are coming through. I’m seeing a ton of airlines post over there lol.

        It reminds me of when Coca-Cola rolled out New Coke, except on a smaller scale. At least with coke there was a lot on the line and they did the right thing by bringing back classic coke. With OS, I doubt there's a lot at stake to lose by doubling down with New OS, so easy come easy go. It was a good run tho.
        T-BONE.

        Talking about things nobody cares.

        Screw Discord. Make OS Great Again.

          i'm still in denial this is happening.

          worst upgrade ever. you have to manually type in the last page to any thread you click on. loading takes forever. we lost 3 months of posts. the boards are dead. i didn't realise how much OS added to the gaming experience. coming here and talking with others, swapping notes and findings.


          it was one helluva good run tho....

            Just to correct one point, we lost three weeks of posts, not months. I agree with the other things you mentioned though - there are a few navigation aspects I'd like to see improved (easier jump to first unread post or last page of a thread is what comes to mind immediately) and I'm hopeful that things will pick up if/when the missing posts come back.

            I mean, is anyone waiting to reply to some post from April 28 or something? Probably not, but missing that huge chunk of discussion I think hit the MLB The Show board hardest just because it was the most recent release before the forum switch. It's in some weird forum Twilight Zone where we all know these discussions happened, but there's no proof of it anywhere.

              Boards have been deader than dead since the update. Might have effectively killed the OS forums.
              Well, actions have consequences. I hope this happens

                I hope not. Not at all. I’ve been a part of this community since 2004. I think I’ve visited this forum damn near every day since then. I love playing sports video games and this forum has helped me get the most out of that experience. Not to mention making some friends along the way. It’s been a rough ride during the transition but I’m hoping it gets cleaned up soon and the whole community comes back soon.

                  I didn't realize how much I relied on these boards for info until no one was posting anymore.

                    Just curious, are the people who are saying it's slow on a desktop or mobile? I mostly visit on my desktop and the new forum is much faster for me. The old one would have so many adds and other pop ups it would really slow down my (very non powerful) computer. I've had no problems at all with the new one.

                      Mobile, I havent used a desktop to post on in years. I assumed it was slow the last couple months because they were spending time working on the new OS instead of maintaining the old OS, so thats why it was slow.

                      The old OS, I could pop out ten posts in a thirty minute session. This OS, I waste thirty minutes trying to make ONE post. The new OS may be better for linking videos and visuals, but its lifeblood is the conversation. And the new OS is a conversation killer. Ah well, it is what it is.

                    it's so slow. at times it all feels broken, but it is slow to load sometimes, and other times it's fine, but it's the everything else that's slow. navigating the threads.

                    even to quote this, i clicked the quote button 35 times and nothing happened. so i had to cut and copy your post and put it here and type. and when i get to the end and submit it will tell there's been some error of some sort and i'll wonder if the post went thru.

                          Yeah, I mean there's still plenty that needs cleaned up. I still don't really know how to Quote a message. And The error thing is annoying. For me so far, the speed of the new forum has been it's biggest strength so I'm just surprised to see so many are saying it's slow. The old forum (especially in the last month or 2) there was like a 50/50 shot if it would load or not when I tried to get on it. I haven't had any of those issues with the forum.

                            I feel for Steve......this transition has been poorly executed by whomever he hired to do this.

                            It is painful to come here. I can't even get in on my phone anymore. Like absolutely impossible. My Tapetalk app died a long time ago when I upgraded to an I-Phone 14. Safari is a disaster on my I-Phone....impossible to come here now on my phone.

                            So hopefully all this latency we have (even on my I-Mac at home) will go away.....it's far too time consuming to browse and post on the forums right now.....I don't have that kind of time in my day to wait for pages to load.

                            Ad's everywhere......used to be able to shut those off......color schemes are brutal bad.

                            Anyway....not good....not good at all IMO. I am willing to wait till it all gets sorted out. I have made many great connections here over the last 15 years or so. But I am on a temporary hiatus until it does get sorted out and fixed.....it's simply not working for me in an efficient smooth manner.

                            It's too hard to sort thru without waiting around for pages to load.

                              I feel like there's almost 2 different browsing experiences going on here based on what people are describing. I'm seeing way less ads than the old forum on my PC and Android Phone's Chrome Browser. I feel like the ads were what used to really slow down the old forum for me. The only ad i see now is a big banner at the bottom that I can easily X out of.
