Sorry to say but as was once a joke comment I find it is now not a joke - What? you say --- Went to post this comment and found I had a choice of about 20 forums to choose from - Too many and too restrictive. Pick a topic and everyone will look at another topic - can't post to every forum either so everyone will see it. Also I feel it is too complicated as one has to choose what forum or post to read whereas on Streetlife (and - dare I say it - Nextdoor) one can just run down the list of posts and choose what topic to read or reply to.

Come on folks get the act together and make the format more like Streetlife (Nextdoor)

I agree it's not as good as Streetlife. I'm hoping more people will join. 

But I am finding some good points about it.

I like I can look at other areas anywhere in  England which I couldn't on Streetlife 

Clicking on unread posts in the UK gives a list of topics.

Says there are two replies but can only see one - perhaps the computer can't count........ No way is it the same or remotely similar and too many posting options - I do have an Hon's degree but really can't be bothered having to decide who I want to read it -

yes I agree totally. Streetlife was more inclusive,local and intimate.

More like a conversation amongst friends with the occasional amusing spats,advice,reccomendations and general local information,whilst retaining anonymity.

I don't want to "pick and choose" this feels more like "free ads" or gumtree.

I agree - too many adverts - OK so they have to make money somehow but I have SKY TV and record all the programs I want to watch and skip the adverts - I call it time-Shift TV. Sometimes I screw up and forget and have to download a non HD version.

I think I'll switch between Nextdoor and here but even with the low security and blatant disregard of public opinion and data protection I prefer the Nextdoor format. A previous reply mentioned the "Streetlife" style format of the Bognor forum - haven't seen that yet or perhaps I'm missing something?

Hi Hugh

sorry to say I rarely check to topics! Give it time- I was with Streetlife in the early days when we lived in Devon. It was a shame they were bought out by Nextdoor, another case of why fix it when it wasn't broken!  Stick with it a while longer, you may grow to love it.
