Change is hard
 

I'm the first guy to admit I don't like change. I can accept it, but I don't often like it.
I'm just going to say it. The new RCU platform sucks. I was almost ok with dealing with the new forum although there are areas in posts I can't read due to banners covering words up. I hate that you cannot click to go to first new post instead of having to start at the very first or very last one.
but today I saw the new marketplace. ...
I click on "airplanes", can't filter to just find jets and can only see 5 or 6 ads with no next page scroll available.
Now I admit I am not computer savvy, and I hate learning new forums but I can usually figure them out. The new classifieds has me totally lost.
RCU has always had some forum issues but I find this new platform more difficult to navigate than any other forum I have ever visited. It's no wonder so many groups are popping up on Facebook.
I post this here in the jets forum as it is the forum I frequent and it is one of the busiest.
Is it just me? Have you guys found a button to take you to newest post and figured out the classifieds?
I'm willing to accept it's just me if it is, like I say I am not computer savvy at all ...

This new platform just sucks.

Go to buy and sell - Click on Marker (Legacy)

How do I get rid of that annoying tool bar at the bottom?

bottom tool bar
 

that would be my biggest question with the new forum as well

change
 

Just becomes something is old doesn't make it bad... Just because something is new doesn't make it good

The new format is the type of format that most new software products are going to, I'm in I.T. and every new product has this awful feel to it (Blue, White, Gray). Most people that have been around for a while hate it, those that don't mind being told what to like... like it.

Ugh
 

Stinks. Enough said.
i did leave feed back to add sub product type so that airplanes can then be listed as jets, 3D, etc.

Hi,
I use Addblocker and I have not noticed any real problem using or navigating RCU.
But I do not like the new Marketplace, one can not select sub categories like before
to quickly narrow down to what one is interested in.
I have noticed RCU loads rather slow sometimes but I do not use RCU so much anymore
so it does not bother me that much.
In my country we have a RC forum that has looked the same since start 14 years ago
until today. It has the basic functions needed to post, thats it. No need to change constantly.
Now our national model flying federation has taken over that forum and I believe they
have new forum design on the way. We will se how good it will be and if they manage to migrate
tons of post and photos gathered during 14 years to the new platform, when it is done.

go here to leave feedback on marketplace. Hopefully they dont get lazy and mess everything up

!! So accurate !!

The new format SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You have completely destroyed the Classified! Im searching for Turbine engines... I don't give a crap about buying a used OS55ax.

Is Obama and Hillary running RCU???:mad:

There should be dates under thread titles. Other than that and the little bar on the bottom my RCU is pretty much exactly as it was before including the classifieds. Am I seeing a legacy version or what?

who in there right mind thought this was an improvement?????

This format sucks need to be able to filter search for turbines engines and Jet aircraft, do not shut down the original....

I can see why many have given up on RCU!
If your trying to kill RCU for good, then you are succeeding...

may not be a problem for anyone else, but,
i used to have the default thread count to display set to 50 per page. now it is at 20, and not seeing anywhere to reset it. in forums or marketplace.

Horrible format. New Buy Sell is unusable to look for just jets. Only way to do it is use legacy mode. Forums much harder to move around in. Not good. Making me want to just drop RCU and move all jet stuff to RCG.

Well here is what I left on the comment pages, most likely won't do any good but if they don't give us back someway to detect bad or fraudulent sellers or buyers, I won't be using the website other than the Jet Forum any more.

"These changes are just a total joke. Above and beyond most of the comments already made; seller feedback scores are a MUST. When the seller joined the forum is a MUST. With all the fraud that's been going on here with bogus sellers and you take away our tools to help spot them? What's the matter with you people?

Dumping all our seller feedback ratings is a crock as well, what do you mean "we're trying to save them"?
Where are the "offers made" and whether they were accepted or refused?
Where is the "Wishlist"?
Where is the "book values" section?

If there are not any changes made to the above issues, I damn sure won't be buying, selling or advertising here again."

I can't even find my active and archived ads, if ratings accumulated over 15 years are gone who's going to buy anything from anyone on this forum? This isn't about accepting change or not, this is about offering something that is user friendly to work with......and this isn't.

oh my.. I just logged in.. absolute crap

Ok so want sure what everyone was complaining about, but finally refreshed my browser and saw what everyone is looking at and WOW...what a piece of garbage the new site is. It was designed by someone who has no idea of how a site should be designed, or they used a cookie cutter template. I think I will be moving more to RCGroups and FlyingGiants look for stuff. I have to echo everyone else's complaints about the new site. Who ever is in charge needs to read what people are saying and fix the issue.

Even bigger mess than I thought. + on picture does not work, cannot see offers, offers hard to make now, sub categories gone, and worst of all, cannot log in without giving them permission to permanently keep your login, aint gonna happen. By by RCU

classifieds are useless !!!!!!!!!!!!!

It sucks. Who asked for it?

How do you guys like RCG? It might be time to migrate.

Sunrise, sunset....

Never cared for RCG before. For many of the reasons I don’t like the new RCU.
I’m not sure what to do now. ��

I love it! Everything about it it is easier to use. The photo uploader is the easiest to load of all the forums I use. The jet category can be just as good as here if more people would join in. The classifieds are simple to brouse threw and uncomplicated. All this and still it loads every page as quick as lightening. It really is a mistery to me why people still insist on coming to this site?

try it...you'll see

btw...I am in no way affiliated with RCG.

The classified market place is gone. I can't find jets and refuse to look at every add. I hate this new stuff. Go back!

New RCU Format
 

I agree, the new format sucks big time! What WAS a very straight forward clear and easy to use site is now a jumbled mess. I vote for a return to the original
category style format that has worked. But hey, change is good right.....ah, not in this case!

Regards,
spin-em-up

only problem with rcg is their lack of any kind of serious moderation. lotta unchecked trolling/stalking over there.

Well I'm sad to see rcu take such a dive but glad to see it's not just me having difficulty accepting change.

real bad changes.

No complains. Its Ok for me, In fact I would like to thanks the people that keep this site running for all this years!

Not good for me
 

I find the new format useless for me. I like the old format where you could easily find For sale, will trade, wanted, I am done with RCU and the new format!

For years now I have been wanting to setup and forum just for jets and build threads. Weird thing is all of the web designers never responded after I told them what I was looking to do? Not sure if its just something too hard or what. RCU has lost a lot of the people who really have great knowledge and others have left just because of the drama, and I personally find if very difficult to do a build thread because its just so hard to upload and manage it.

I am at a loss for how this new upgrade is anything other than a downgrade.

I agree - these changes just are horrendous.

Build threads are the easiest thing to do on RCG. Post it in a regular category or start a blog. Blogs are very popular on RCG because you can delete any unwanted post. Takes about 2 min or less to upload photos and write a detailed report. You can also write info at the bottom of each picture and the photos come with a view counter so you can gauge interest.

Again.. I am in no way affiliated with RCG. I just love it cause it works!!
