I love Lumberjocks and the community it represents. I am NOT a fan of the cumbersome interface. Compared to other social media websites (like facebook) Lumberjocks is a dinosaur. Just dealing with photos and videos is unnecessarily difficult. I shouldn't have to upload a separate app (like photobucket) or deal with html scripting to handle media that I want to post. I should be able to update things like "My Shop", but I can't. I think we would have a much more robust participation if the hosts of this website would bring it in line with current technology.

Outdated website
4 reading
I have been a Lumberjocks member for over 10 years. I like the way it is set up. I don't see a need to change it.
I like the forum pretty much as is. I used to go to 2 other forums that went the Face book route. I don't visit them anymore (There are probably happy). Hate the Facebook layout myself.
I find facebook to be a pathetic joke, in so far as valuable information sharing goes.
Go try to find my post from a year ago.
Try to type a document of any significance on the site and deal with the fact all it takes is an accidental hit of the return key and you've posted, before you are ready.
Then there is paragraphing. How many know you have to hold down the shift key, when hitting return, to avoid creating run on paragraphs.
As another said, it's apples and oranges. Today, this is the apple and I don't want an orange.

Not a tech, this is a great layout, and easy access. Once again, it's not broke so don't try to fix it.
People who keep up with the times don't do woodworking.
I hate Facebook. LJ is OK.
I like Craigslist too… And Addall.com.

I've just scrolled thru all the post on this topic. Why hasn't the original poster jumped in and made any more comments? Just curious?
Why? He evidently has a preference for a different format. I think they call it personal choice. You like Chev, I like Ford. What to defend?
Hey enough of the dinosaurs!! ... its bad enough getting old and wrinkely without you young guys posting mirror images.
You and I Both! He should also be defending his TECHNICAL STATEMENTS
His initial statements are also NOT Correct, i.e. the way HE says he has to perform various procedures on here.
A.G. Says it's a matter of Personal Choice " I think they call it personal choice. You like Chev, I like Ford. What to defend?"
It has nothing to do with Personal Choice. Part of His initial statement is " I am NOT a fan of the cumbersome interface. Compared to other social media websites (like facebook) Lumberjocks is a dinosaur. Just dealing with photos and videos is unnecessarily difficult. He carries on with the Technical Problems that DON'T Exist!
Facebook is better than Lumberjocks? Facebook is nothing but a bunch of people Yakking at each other with very little purpose in it. You can also talk to a WALL and everyone acts like that's normal thing to do?? ...LOL…
Enough said. Now WE wait and see what HE Has To Say! (If Anything.)
Regards All: Rick
We are all wired different. What is cumbersome for one may not be for others and vice versa. I don't see he owns anybody anything.
Love the site, and love the way the forum is laid out. Sure, it's old-school, but it's also simple, and easy to navigate. This is the premium forum for all facets of woodworking, IMO…..
The only thing that I would change is a phone-app so that I can surf the forums while not in front of my computer….
