Any Hope for This New GS Truck Camper Group?
It's been a few weeks since the old forum was shut down and this new forum opened up, but I only see a few old members have joined and not really much for posts (20 total members as of the last few d...

I just took several minutes to write that these forums died down because a lot of people got tired of a few individuals that were trolls, knew everything, done everything and had done it better. That is much in part why I became inactive and probably will go back to being inactive. There are a lot of nice folks in the community but a few bad apples turned a lot of good folks away.
That's at least what I had written only to lose what I wrote when I clicked the "Reply" button after writing my post only to find out that I wasn't logged in (daily automatic loggout apparently). Clicking back to try to copy my post text so I didn't have to rewrite it takes me back but the text I had spent several minutes writing wasn't there to be copied. This is like the second or third time this has happened. Why are you showing a reply field if a user isn't logged in?
So... I see a lot of people will get tired of this new system. There is nothing that shows you are not logged in until you try to submit your post and then lose what you wrote. At least the old RV.net site it didn't log you out automatically and if by chance you were not logged in, you could click the back button and retrieve what you wrote.
It's like GoodSam is going everything they can to shoot this new platform in the foot for the few of us that are still around.
adamis, you said it twice maybe, but said it right. I'm already tired of 'logged out', and search hassles to see what's new, and having to search each link above the forum to find each category. Waste a lot of time figuring out how and what I want to read. I'm trying to hang in there, because I enjoy reading the posts in several different areas of interest, but if it continues to waste time 'not reading' but instead spend time clicking and searching - it won't keep me interested after twenty plus years.
Seems the "improvements' the tech writers build into websites and forums today are not improvements, but create roadblocks to content.
