Ok, If this new format is an APRILS FOOL Joke, Its a little late and falls quite short of being funny. Not user friendly and looks like a steaming pile of S#@T!!
One more thing - the opening of "more" on the new forum topics and hot topics is very slow and it opens up to a whole load of forums with just "130 new", etc. so that takes up more time in going through that.
Anyway, to Qatari, etc - good improvement. And anything new takes time for people to get used to and once we get used to it, we'll be fine with it. Cheerio!
WK, you have a point there. Although some of them were fun to look at but if they were slowing down the server, then ok. But what about allowing just words in the siggy?
Ok just flipped through the recent posts and the rest of QL. Good ideas and better organized although the fleshing out of your ideas need more work.
The recent posts have pages and pages of ads, which are irrelevant. Plowing through pages and pages of ads are a waste of time, although we know that some people have all the time in the world to surf but not everyone does.
But yes, noted the new forum topics and hot topics on right. So guess it's fine and will stick to that.
Suggestion - If people are looking for something that's advertised, they can go to a specific section that is separate from the rest. You can make that section prominent so that newbies won't miss it.
and how come the ads now also comes up along with the forum topics? they keep flooding the recent posts... seems it still needs a bit of polishing to do.. :(
FOR SURE THERE IS SOME MESS AS I RAISED A QUESTION ABOUT PEOPLE POSTING DIRT AND REPLIES ARE FOR SOME DIFFERENT QUESTION....ONE CAN SEE THE RECENT POST " WHY PEOPLE POST D/L"
Its so confusing now...Even i am seeing the ACCOMODATION, VEHICLE, SOLD OUT blah blah column..Its really difficult to trace out the RECENT POSTS coz v have to literally search a lot..
I hope MOD is listening us and they give us back our OLD FORMAT..
The "recent posts" can be accessed through "My Menu" on the top left. Just drag the cursor to the "My Menu" and a drop down window would appear...click on "Recent Posts".
I am not impressed either with the changes... Quite confusing. :(
I was expecting an additional option of "Quote" this time.
QL looks pretty messy though... kind of annoying with all that "submitted by xxx" thing and then the effort to actually look for the comment ... and how a little of it is slipping to the white portion coming out of the comment box... i am still not sure if thats a fault of my browser.

Why is all the crap appearing with the forum topic?
Why Search option is hiding in classifields section..
I am so so LosT ...:(
lemme find a hammer and hit my head.
What the hell is wrong with QL, Why are classifieds in the recent posts?
probably QL wants only classified ads posting and not forum and stories anymore.
no fair... they should update the points when QL goes back to normal.. if it ever goes back.. :(
recharge ur butterfly...
is there any deleting option....this save suxxxxx
sammiee control your emotions, we got the point that you are missing the PM option.

i too feel tat its messed up..may b v will get used to it..soon
it looks all messed up now.
Especially the posts. Why si there so much space? the statements fall outside the box as well.
Didnt they do a beta run before going for wholesale changes?
Want The Old QL Back..... :( I Can't Find The Inbox....
I Want The Old QL. I Can't Find My Inbox... Uhhhhhhhhh
Thanks WK, Have not read all the new topics yet. Maybe this will answer some questions.
Sandman they will work, Ahmad still working on that. Read the thread about site maintenance
Is it just me, or is there no more PM option. Cant see my friends list, so many old functions lost. This change will probably be the demise of QL.

let's go back to the old format!

And yeah....'bleu' also uses "LOLz" as his trademark... and I love it ;)
LOL Again.... :(
WK.....You are violating Copy Rights Law. "LOL" is copy righted by Bajju & Rizks Co. W.L.L
LOL ;)
Its Bajju's Part Time Business...and he is making a hell of money with that :P
Believe me.... Bajju has a "Specially Designed Pillow" and that is also available on rent for "Bachelors" ;)
:D
Bajju is playing with his "Pillow".....thats why he is talking about "Passion" ;)
be passion???
Why are you talking about passion Pajju?
and KHATTAK LOL :P
be passion guys everythin will be ok soon :P
Yeah....better do flooding here ;)
drmana I don't want to start any new thread as it will be lost in the flood of classifieds in no time.
I'm not liking the new format
Yeah Visper.....but they chopped my head :(
ok now, somebody please post something interesting. Enough of discussions about upgrades....
WK...There wont be any "LOL" posts ;)
I guess nobody will be posting about points now :P
i like ur avatar now.. it's like twinkle, twinkle little star.. ;)

Agreed WK...the flash/animated signatures or having pictures were terrible :P

Maybe you can type yours after every post ;-)
But all those graphics everyone was putting up was terrible, hurting my eyes and surely slowing down the server.
Only problem is the recent posts part, I don't want to see all those classifieds.
WK, I WAN MY SIGGY!! :0(
And my postie points are still 2717!!!
God they removed all those signatures. Creating needless burden on the server.
Better if we will clean up first those items in classifieds. Ads keep on piling up, due to numerous re-posting.
1. Why not try deleting old postings, sold items and duplications.
2. Make a filtering of ads either automatic or thru MOD prior to on-line release.
i don't like dis new format......its cofusing:(
And why is TCOM's profile pic blurry?
Mods haven't had their morning koffeee yet? :P
AND, my posties!! It was 2717 before but I just posted 2 posties, It's still 2717!!! Eyyyy!!!
what a confusing upgrade the site!!!
drmana question/answer section is not functioning fully so far,
but it is at the same place as it was
What happened to my dearest QL. Looks disoriented? :-(
OMG! Why is my profile pic humongous?!? :-0
Eyy.. I know I'm huge but ya don hafta rub it in!!!
And where's my signature column to add and change my sig?!!!
Btw, 'ello evelybody! :0)

Its all so messed up now...hope they bring back the old QL layout which was more user friendly then its now.

and did you notice beneath some new questions some previously given answers are displayed and they are irrelevant too.
aik dam takla :(

;-)
Look ya my butterfly seems to in last stage...IT WAS happy in old format..
and how come the ads now also comes up along with the forum topics? they keep flooding the recent posts... seems it still needs a bit of polishing to do.. :(
Yes...this new form really sucks, even I wrote to Moderators. hope the old form be restored soon...

MODs....how will I make quick points now :(
I Just logd in to chek my inbox...ooops another 2 dayz..
How would one reply to the Question asked on the forum? I cant post answers in the QA Section :(
Khattak, do u know why i m getting this message "parent_question field is required" whenever i m trying to answer the questions of Q & A section??
Please let me know if u have ne clue for this..thnx..
QL IS REALLY LOOKING NEW BUT DIFFERENT & MESSY.
NOT SURE, HOW TO SEE IN BOX AS WELL...
OLD FORMAT WAS QUIET USER FRIENDLY.
One cant have a signature either... seems we'll have to dig it out completely to know what-else has been changed. :-)
Bingo Much easier than before as it stays in one place :)
Exactly visper...
Its so confusing now...Even i am seeing the ACCOMODATION, VEHICLE, SOLD OUT blah blah column..Its really difficult to trace out the RECENT POSTS coz v have to literally search a lot..
I hope MOD is listening us and they give us back our OLD FORMAT..
because the QL change apperance, i can't find the delete button for adverticement.. can anyone here see it? please let me know... thanks..
Hope to get the old format soon :)
Me TOO :(
maybe they are still figuring out new layout ^_^
all i can see in recent post are accomodation, vehicles....
I believe, the QL Team would still be working on fixing it...these issues would get resolved soon.
browsing through the classified ads.. its all mess up. pls fix admin. thanks!
So the "Save" option replaces "Submit"...and it comes before "Preview"? Confusing?
Okie.....we'll get used to it within a couple of hours :)
Recent post is all messed up with everything even For sale, accomodation and all showing.
i like the new look! good job ahmad!
Made more space for advertisements...... good job Ahmed lol
@Cookie Monster its under the "MY MENU" just bellow Qatar Living.com on the top left
The "recent posts" can be accessed through "My Menu" on the top left. Just drag the cursor to the "My Menu" and a drop down window would appear...click on "Recent Posts".
I am not impressed either with the changes... Quite confusing. :(
I was expecting an additional option of "Quote" this time.
Ql really looks messy and it seems everything arranged in a haphazard manner..I really want my OLD QL FORMAT BACK....
Pajju bro, can u do something regarding this??
annoying
Looks alot neater from were I'm sat, But weres the recent posts clicky gone?
Mine, too!
Mandi
QL looks pretty messy though... kind of annoying with all that "submitted by xxx" thing and then the effort to actually look for the comment ... and how a little of it is slipping to the white portion coming out of the comment box... i am still not sure if thats a fault of my browser.
smells good :P
Ex legend.... Btw i took a shower too :P
Lot of changes around.....getting used to it.
lol... you are an addict... i am a recreational (ab)user ;p
At least i cleaned my apartment because QL was down for maintenance:-)

QL looks good ...
THANKS ADMIN !
