@Funz My goodness! Cobra in Singapore?? Last time there was a python trying its luck to get in my home which was on the ground floor. Try putting sulphur around the entrances. Might be difficult if yours is on the ground floor like mine, and not knowing when to stop the sulphur.
-
@slmkhoo Yes. I’m back after a long monthly break. Just deleted the hundreds of spam posts from Indonesia. I’d be monitoring the Forum much more closely from now onwards.
-
@ChiefKiasu Thanks! Any more upgrades of this site being planned? I can’t put my finger on specifics, but this site still seems harder to navigate and just isn’t as welcoming as the old one.
And is there any way to invite some of the old members to come back? -
@slmkhoo I think one huge impediment was the speed and failure to load. The forum has been ‘stuck’ for several weeks maybe months now. It seems to be a lot better today!
-
@slmkhoo People left this forum because they feel they are being treated unfairly and are not respected by the admin and other members.

@slmkhoo
Yes. One of the possible problem is that the forum is reverse coded, that is, it lists the most recent post first. This is not the same as the previous forum where posts are listed in ascending order. That is why it gets confusing.I would like a poll. Do people prefer the old listing by ascending order of post date, or do you want to stick to the current listing by reversed order (most recently shown first)?
-
@ChiefKiasu reverse coding is definitely a problem. It is confusing. I prefer older listing on top, new postings below. This is what most forums do.
The UIUX of kiasuparents forum is clumsy. You should take a look at HWZ EDMW forum to see why it is successful.
Apart for UIUX, the contents is also important. EDMW allows a broad spectrum of topics to be discussed. Kiasuparents is strong on content for education only. The questions you have to ask is, do you want kiasuparents to go in the direction of EDMW.
Just my 2 cents… since I was passing by. Me old user.

On a side note, is there anything/more that can be done to weed out and/or prevent spam accounts? I haven’t encountered them on other forums I’m on. Might be just me - but they kinda mess up and “pollute” the forum and affect it’s image (esp. when some includes offensive/obscene messages).
-
@ChiefKiasu YES!!! Definitely prefer the old way.

@Liew-Nga-Wing Did I miss something? Not sure what you are referring to.
