RSS feed. Makes it easy to keep up-to-date with the posts.

Lack of real meaty B&O Q&A content. But it is early days for this forum.

i really could bore you all to tears with how many things i love about this new site, i really am impressed how stylish it looks and easy it is to use.πŸ‘πŸ‘

i miss the old style personal message alert at the top of the screen when you got one, you have to go looking for it now, unless its just a setting i havnt found?πŸ€”

i really like the new smileys but they take too long to load upSleep

p.s thats took me ages to find things i dislike

The new webpage format looks good.

  • The blue background is easier on the eyes. I'm reading the pages on a 42 monitor and upstairs via  M-L on a 21 monitor and both come in very distinct. The previous format now seems to have been more of an actuarial report. I can sit back, expand the font size on the keyboard ( Logitech Di Novo Edge ), and read and see everything quite well from 10 m.
  • Colour: Finally ! Good contrast.
  • I collect and restore older tube radios, including B & O, so the addition of the older " Museum pieces " is very good.
  • Poking around the various pages, there is much more offered than before.
  • I enjoy the general, non-B&O photos that have started to come in.
  • Smilies: I find these a distraction, and ignore them.
  • The Inventory of recent B & O equipment, including price is interesting. I know it would require a bit of work, but I would suggest adding I.D. part numbers on all items.
  • BEOMEDIA and BEOPORT: Having installed Beoport, I am still discovering the capabilities of these devices. I would like to see some tips offered on better utilizing both devices.

My compliments to Lee and his staff for an excellent ( and no doubt exhausting )  job very well done on the new Beoworld site !

Henrik. How eloquently putπŸ™‚

I totaly agree with all the things you have listed as things you miss. It seems many of us browse using a similar method.

I would add that the smileys are so slow and if you want to add more than one you have to open the smiley box over and over again.

If I remember correctly, on MK11 Beoworld, one could open the smiley box and drag it to the side of the window so they were on tap permanently.

As for the smileys themselves, I think they're great😁

"* a "take me to the oldest unread post in this thread"-function"

I think, this option is exist, simply try to press the "Last reply" text in the topic list :)

No, AT that takes you to the newest unread post.
