I like being able to post decent sized pictures straight from my PC without fiddling with attachments and ‘thumbnails’

Yes I like the new photo uploading, I always had to have two pages open before, the postimages site and the forum. Then it was back and forward between them, then copying and pasting.

Instant notifications. Seeing people post live.
As a new person to the forum, I was having a more difficult time following threads to see who replied in the old forum.

It’s awesome seeing you all discover cool new features - see, I told you it would be worth it 
(it may take a bit of getting used to but it will be worth it in the end, I promise! 
)
One of the things I personally love about the new site is how the change in name, and our new ‘front’ page (our main homepage) makes it/you an authority in the space - when people want to see what over 50s think about things they will naturally come here, particularly as they can view threads about very specific topics (eg: #dogs or #nhs or #boris-johnson even 
).
This does of course bring with it an added responsibility, but I am sure you will all be great ambassadors for the over 50s age group 
Definitely the ignore feature, it’s given me a new lease of life.rather than feeling like I was locked up in prison.
I love this site and have made some lovely friends.
Azz, has done a fantastic job, he makes everyone feel extremely welcome , I love that about him.
I hope he is here more often.

Aww stoppit you guys, you’ll make me blush 
But you are right in that I want to try and make everyone feel welcome - there’s so much hate in the world (especially on social media) that I think we need more community-centric sites like this one.
Perhaps we can be a shining beacon that others will look up to and follow one day? I hope so, and I have no doubt you can all be leaders in doing just that
