Good Sam link gone?

[Effy]

I tried navigating to my usual way via what used to be the woodalls link, now Good Sam link - but now it's gone too.

Had to go through the old RV.NET.

Having said that, I almost never have a problem getting on RV.NET nor have a problem posting.

Not so much that, as we'd like to see maybe some attention by the IT department to update and upgrade the site. There are some cumbersome 'features' here that have been improved by practically every other online forum in the world, but not here. The 'percent' sign fault without an error message given is just one example. The 'Quick Reply' getting erased instead of carried over to 'Advanced' is another.

As I recall, this site is the most popular of all the RV'ing forums and answers to questions come quickly and are numerous...that's why I'd like to see it improved. I'm here at least once a day, sometimes many, both answering questions, and posing my own. I do appreciate the site. I'd just like to see it made better. More user friendly.

Wow that post was redacted quick!

Wouldn't it be great if he shut down the whole frigging forum. Would that make you happy?

It's too bad that's not the only issue. RV net also faults when you use practically any other special character too.

Then there's also the stupid and terrible 'Quick Reply' vs. 'Advanced Post Form' issue. You start on the quick reply, then realize you want to add a link, click on Advanced only to find your reply is gone. I've forgotten that 10's of times over the years. Now I can 'copy' the quick reply first, or use the back arrow to go copy it, but every other forum on the planet just carries your already completed partial post on over to the advanced page. Gah!

And on and on...

It's like they fired anyone that knows anything about the structure of the site and just happily take the ad revenue that comes in, never bothering to update or upgrade the site. It's a couple DECADES behind in features.

x2 Jim.

I can't understand why Marcus refuses to fix the percent sign issue for his RV.NET portal, which he seems to prefer. His other portals, woodalls, goodsam, trailerlife, none had the issue, but now they're all gone and the broken rv.net is left standing.

it boggles my mind

If your new post has any unusual characters in it, anywhere, it's rejected and gives us no error message. Something that other forums cured a couple decades ago. So, check for odd characters and remove them, then try again.

I keep trying to start a new thread and keep getting the same message "Site can't be reached". Yet, it let me post this message.

Over the years I've gone to the 'suggestions' thread here on RV.net many times and made suggestions with hopes that they'd actually fix something. This forum is like from the dark ages...and apparently always will be because they never did ANYTHING about all the annoying old time features this site has.

I mean, really, what other site in the entire world faults without giving an error message when you just use the 'percent' sign in a posting? Dumb.

I suspect that all this is a work in progress.
