We have a very exciting upgrade coming soon to Essential Baby and Essential Kids.

In January, we will be upgrading our forums software. The new, easier to navigate forums will be:
More mobile
Access a mobile-friendly layout from any handset
More personalised
Upload your own images and customise your layout
More social
Better tools for friends, chat and sharing


We can’t wait to show you our new forums, so while we add the finishing touches, stay tuned for more info over the coming weeks!

Got any questions? Fire away! We'll collate the questions and make sure there are detailed answers and instructions ready to go before we launch.

I love drama. It's so dramatic.
Can we please have it show which topics we have replied in with a different icon? It used to exist and disappeared in the last change.

Even better can we go way back to the old forum software? lol This one has driven me nuts since it's been here!

Hoping you'll address the speed issues a number of us have? I find EB very slow compared to other sites.

Yes I agree! Are you upgrading your server?

Also will it be possible to just see the sub-forums we are interested in? Currently there is no way to minimise these.

Very exciting, in any case!

As Amber said we will collate the questions so they are all answered.

I will quickly say though that no, we can't go back to the old forum software, BUT this new upgrade is really exciting and there are some cool new functions that we will all be able to use. It will be mobile friendly , which I know most people are really excited about biggrin.gif

It would be good if you could vote or like responses rather than everyone quoting or stating they agree with a particular post.

I would like the 'We are discussing' window to have the same function to go to your last read post in the thread as the 'today's active topics' page does

Though, am guessing as you are implementing the change, you probably have already made the changes you are going to make.

In which case, did I miss a thread where you could suggest improvements?
