I’m not new to forums and have in the past been a moderator on other forums. I found the old one here hard to use, kept logging me out and then not accepting my password and just complicated. This new one is much more user friendly and I find myself coming way more regularly.

I don’t understand what people thought was complicated in the old forum. It worked just like any other forum I had been a part of. Or is that from people who were not used to forums in general.
I still haven’t gotten the use of the side bar for scrolling through the posts/threads. It seems very tedious to me. I don’t know, maybe I’m just not doing it right. I much prefer having threads and posts on several pages if there are a lot of them.
No need for scrolling, if you don’t want to read all the posts in a topic: just click the first date on the scrollbar (or the title above) to jump to the start of the topic, or the date at the end to jump to the last post. Or move the scroll handle to where you want to jump and you’ll be immediately there.

I’ve tried to use the old forum when I started Postcrossing but couldn’t figure out the structure and how it worked so I gave up. As the new forum was promoted I gave it a try too and I’m really happy because I feel welcome and a little bit like visiting a well known place. Thank you so much, it us a big plus to Postcrossing to get the chance to talk to others and feel more part of Postcrossing because to all the contact. By the way: my postwoman is happy about all the wonderful cards, too.

I think the flagging system is being abused; apparently if you dont like a comment you can flag it. If you dont like their country or their gender you can flag. If you just dont like someone personally you can flag.
I assume this comment will be deleted by admins.
I agree with you. 
In this temporarily or definitive closed topic is information about flagging down. Members who flag down only because their personal frustration might get a temporarily or permanent ban. As far as I understand.
Interresting to learn how the flagging works.
I guess it is all human labour by Team to manual check every flag…
The new forum is more “annonymous”, I misschien community like on the old forum.
