I wanted to compliment the forum devs for making the new forum menu layout!
Way less options. Much better.

lol. I just came here to say the same thing.

Good to know there are 2 of us (at least)

I see no changes?

Can you share screenshots?

Will take me a while to find where the older post locations have been put, but the layout will help us with smaller displays on their computers and other devices. The old layout sometimes had a tendency to show menus so long, that part of the menu items were left out of sight. Not anymore with this new design

To be honest, im not a fan, it took me 2 days to find the DJI RC section. Now there are more hoops to jump through to get to the DJI RC section, i.e. i have to now go into a section that i do not have, a Mavic, If anything the RC's should have their own section and sub-sections.

It's right up there.
There are fewer menu items and less sub menu items.

Yeah, I think that was the main thing.

Oh yes, I'm sure there are items 'less visible' now.
Still I like the less cluttered layout.

I do somewhat agree on the confusion caused by the change, I do have some problems myself trying to find the locations of some earlier threads. But I think I could get used to the new places after some time.

A lot less cluttered than before.  Glad to see the Social section gone and all the spammers that used to post there.

I think they will find their way sooner than we wish.

Well I, for one, would like to protest the loss of the Spark forum.

(Just kidding, there hadn't been any action there in quite a while. Still sorry to see it gone.)

Hi, just to clarify, Spark section is under the Other option, please rest assured users can find post any inquiry about using the product whenever they need.

Yeah, time to move on I guess

Yeah, you're probably right about that.

Susan, I like the new forum format but I just wish they had made the search engine a bit more robust with this latest update.  

DowntownRDB Posted at 3-26 02:10
Yeah, you're probably right about that.

I suspect they are bots most of the time.

Montfrooij Posted at 3-26 02:46

No doubt many are Bots.  It seems 99.9% they are all level 1 Newbie accounts.

I understand your feedback, this had been noted and I will keep forwarding it to the teams.

Hi DJI Susan,

thank you for forwarding!



Would be nice to achieve better search results without using additional tools.

Thank you, Susan, I found it...eventually.

I think it's also time for me to move on from the Spark to a serious upgrade.

Exactly.
Someone found out how to create a user automatically and boom.

Now that they removed the menu item : YES.
No way back.

Hi DJI Susan,

thank you for forwarding!

You are welcome, I am also looking forward to seeing the improvement.

True.  Not hard to come up with an email addee and a false name so no wonder the spammers are so prolific.  However, I must admit it has slowed down a bit lately.

It does seem to have slowed down indeed. Or maybe I'm just not as active constantly and miss them before they get deleted.

Montfrooij Posted at 3-27 23:09

That could well be as they seem to be deleting much faster than in the past.  I'm remember one 3 day period where no Mods took action on our spam reports.  However that was over a weekend so personnel manning could have been an issue.

Yeah, well, I'm a bit more absent now, so it is hard for me to judge.

Montfrooij Posted at 3-28 03:34

That's understandable.  You have more priority things to do with your time I'm sure.

Just keeping up is a great accomplishment.

Yeah, it can be a task sometimes. But I still enjoy it.

How's the weather in your locale?  Seems like DAFlys and Bleriot are getting nothing but rain and  more rain in the UK.  Still windy here but no rain.

Well, we had a couple of nice days, but today will be rain until after the weekend.
So they forecasted at least.

On rainy days I try to catch up on indoor chores.  I recently purchased tw Seagate Exos X22 hard drive and working to move all my archives to them.  Hopefully, 22 TB will last me for a long time.  I use one as the primary and the second as a back-up.

That sounds good to me 22Tb (like 2x22Tb, or 2x11?)
