        <blockquote><em><a href="#604186">In reply to miamimauler:</a></em></blockquote><p>Reply to post, check your activity, delete the post. There probably is a better way to do it though.</p>

          <blockquote><em><a href="#604231">In reply to simont:</a></em></blockquote><p>I don't think there is another way. It's ridiculous that we can't click on our account in the top right hand corner and go to our activity.</p><p>This site has exceptional reporting but from day one the account, notifications and comments have been broken. I always assumed they would be fixed but after all this time obviously it's all by design to be user unfriendly. </p>

            Sigh. It kills me that people not only think like this but feel the need to berate me/us for it.

            Look, I was told that 2020 was the year we’d “fix” Thurrott.com in part through a new design, but as you may remember—it’s still in the news, I guess—the pandemic happened. This isn’t the worst collateral damage caused by the pandemic, but it is one example. I’ll keep pushing to get going on this internally, but … It’s not something I can do personally and we’ve had more basic issues this year, for sure.

              <blockquote><em><a href="#604589">In reply to paul-thurrott:</a></em></blockquote><p>Forgive the naysayers. It is always easier to complain about someone else's work.</p>

                Sure. But complaints can be warranted, too, no one is above it.

              <blockquote><em><a href="#604589">In reply to paul-thurrott:</a></em></blockquote><p>Sorry, Paul about the drama. I was just sincerely asking a question because I was curious about what posts I had made on the forums. I think <em>most</em> people here are really helpful and fellow tech enthusiasts.</p>

                No worries.

                2020 was frustrating for many things but from the perspective of this site, the big one for me internally is that the Thurrott.com refresh never happened.

                This isn’t on you, but it’s tough to be shat on by others for something that a) isn’t my fault, b) I’ve been unable to change all year regardless, and c) happened during a year in which the person who was writing news was no longer able to contribute as was the case in the past. I’m a bit overwhelmed and it’s kind of piling up.

                All I can do is keep making the same comments: If it’s a technical issue, please email [email protected]. This is the best way to get us moving on fixing something that’s wrong, especially an individual issue. And I’ll keep pushing for the site to be refreshed. We’re all trying to do the right thing.
