This forum is too complicated to understand and there are too many ads. The registration process too is complicated. Any time when some is making a post, the person must make a verification and that is very bad.

Verification like captcha? It's probably the forum's way of controlling the spam and scam post that comes from newbie accounts. I'm pretty sure that will be lifted once you reach a certain level of activity. Just continue discussing and you'll eventually post normally.

I was facing this problem when I registered my account here and start posting. When you complete 5 posts these captcha will be finished automatically so keep posting you will be easy after some posts.
Keep posting and give knowledge gain knowledge. Keep trying.

Thanks you guys for giving me this good answers and another one again it was not easy for me to see this my thread to reply or make this comment, I have been looking for my profile to see if I would see the last post button but I could not and finally I got it from the top right corner with red color. And I clicked it to this place.
The forum has too much ads.
-
@Mate2237 as other users have told you, the captcha is only a preventive measure to avoid spam from new accounts, something normal considering the large amount of spam that we have eliminated from the forum. Regarding the fact that there is a lot of advertising in the forum, I do not agree, the navigation is fluid and simple. Remember that the more users interact on a forum, the more resources are required for servers and hosting, and that is not cheap.
I have always thought that there should be a balance between fluidity and advertising, but without forgetting the monthly expenses ;)

Thanks you very much for you answer Moderator Freemind. I am getting to know more about the forum and the captcha which I was complaining about has just left my posting. I am an experienced poster from Bitcointalk, therefore I might not be a newbie here even though I am having some challenges to navigate and trying to recognize some features but at time goes on, I will be familiar with every corner of the forum. Even right now I have understand the forum to some extent.
I have PMed the admin to teleport my account. And I am waiting for him to do that so that I will leave the baby steps to my Hero Member.

Not sure which ads you mean. I only saw signatures, but I assume that you already know about signature ads. The banners you see at the top of the page and as the second post in every thread, you probably haven't even read. You will see that there are some instructions and links related to this forum.

Maybe it’s because you are new to the forum, or because you are used to where you come from which is Bitcointalk forum. If you are now becoming active regularly, you will get use to the forum gradually you will understand the forum proper and know how it works.

You're welcome @Mate2237, it's a pleasure to help you.
It is normal that at first the way the forum works seems strange to you, especially when you have been used to working differently in other forums for years, but it is not complicated and in a few days you will get used to it. Ask the questions you need (and use the forum search) and we will help you.
You already have your account updated to Hero Member ;)

Yeah. I am getting use to it. I know that with time I will understand the forum better. At first I was really confused of what to do and where to go but right now everything is getting simple for to navigate. Even the questions I was answering before posting is no more. And everything is seems moving smoothly.

Nice to hear that. Many things need to put together before the real traffic will come next. I really like your activeness in the forum. And every user of the forum has a rule to play for the smooth run of the forum. Mostly obeying the rules and asking questions.

Although I'm still new here but I won't say the forum is complicated or difficult to understand, I've only been less than a day here on the forum but I'm already getting used to the forum gradually as I dedicate to learning more about the forum and other crypto stuffs I didn't know about.
And concerning solving captcha to send a message, at first I felt it was ridiculous but that's the modus operandi of the forum and it needs to be respected, the moderators must have a good reason why they made it compulsory. But is really no big deal, if that little inconvenience would be what you'd undergo for the knowledge you'll acquire here then count it all joy mate.

The captcha will disappear when you have you made five post that what someone said. I am also having the fun with it like the April fool game created by theymos in the first day of April. This one too you do some calculation while that of April fool was also calculated. Since it is for newcomers with less than five posts then there no issue but if it was till full members to legendary Members then it would have been bad omen because it would have delayed the typing speed of users to meet up the daily quota.
-
Definitely pass through it too but the captcha is temporary, When you start posting (quality post) it will eventually stop I think mine stops after my 4th or 5th post can't recall clearly. But it will definitely stop but I don't think something that's really bad is just for security purposes.
Yeah is complicated though but with time you get use to it eventually.
I'm also new you but I'm starting to understand most things here.
Because of the time I normally spend here.
You just got to be active, visit beginners board most time. It will help.

How about you start from removing this part ? We already know what altcointalk forum is all about and those links below the forum isn't necessary Imo. It's makes the whole place looks stuffy and difficult to navigate.
(https://talkimg.com/images/2023/12/09/EwzyP.jpeg)
I've been trying to navigate to Politics and society section, I can't find one don't know if the forum is against it.

The forum is dedicated to crypto, why should here be any separate section dedicated to politics?
Moreover this forum is a traditionally friendly forum. Political conflicts is definitely not the thing welcomed here. ;)
-
Solving this captcha's every time one wants to make a post is something very bad, this is supposed to be only if one wants to login and access and not when a user wants to make a post.
However, I can't believe that they are for security reasons but I think it's not supposed to be so.
This site is cool but very difficult to access, I think that there are a lot of fixtures that are not supposed to be on this site, there should be a little restructure on this site so that other users, mostly those that have never been on any forum before can be able to access it. If not that I have been on Bitcointalk, I don't think I could have understand a little about this altcoinstalks.com site.

Even though the forum is purely meant for cryptocurrencies, political discussions can not be avoidable. If a countries Government is Crypto friendly, it is good to discuss those discussions in the section of politics and society and definitely there must be an Off Topics which will not related to cryptocurrency and it will be related to politics and it is also good to discuss them on politics and society.
Off Topics, Economics and Politics are important Sections or Boards in any discussion platforms.

Off Topics, Economics and Politics are important Sections or Boards in any discussion platforms.
There are several general sections, including "Economics , Sociology & Politics" and "General Discussion", but I can say that no, many forums have no polotical sections at all. Off topic sections are usually there, but on many forums political topics are not so welcomes, because they provoke conflicts. ???

Crypto and politics go hand to hand.
Politics can have a huge impact on the crypto sector in a variety of ways. Positive political events, such as regulatory clarity and supportive rules, can boost trust in cryptocurrencies, leading to increasing adoption and investment.
A political discussion baord is not mandatory but sometimes necessary to have one.
Moreover this forum is a traditionally friendly forum. Political conflicts is definitely not the thing welcomed here. ;)
Being on BTT and Reddit where there is political discussion and yet no political conflicts.

Indeed, I don't see any difficulty in understanding the forum. What motivated me to join here is its user-friendly interface and significant development by the developers. Sorry, but where are the advertisements you are referring to? I haven't come across any annoying ads that hinder smooth forum usage. As for verification, it's an excellent measure to prevent spam and bots, and I don't see that it requires significant effort & time; it's a simple verification. Perhaps, over time, you'll get used to understanding and using the forum, mate. Your notes are considered, and the esteemed forum admins will undoubtedly consider what is best for AltcoinsTalks. Best of luck to you, and welcome among us!

Which part do you get difficulty to understand?
And which ads you mean too many?
Please make it more specific.

I don't see something complicated in registration process. It is even easier than register an account in bitcoin talk forum.
If sometimes you are required to verify, it is probably caused you are too often making posts. Or forum is experiencing an error case. Just wait for a moment, it should be fixed very soon. I suggest you to report it to Altcoinstalks telegram channel (https://t.me/AltcoinsForum) if it is an urgent case.

Is it possible to delete or hide responses from @Altcoins Talks - Cryptocurrency Forum. It contains a set of rules which is good for those who recently log in, but there should be a way to hide them.
Other than that, UI is good.

The registration process is not that hard maybe it's because you're already familiar to BCT, so everything here looks strange. But I won't lie the graphic is not giving and there are many inactive boards that should be sent to the thrash.

The forum will feel complicated since you are a new member here like many people that joined recently. With time, when you get use to the user interface, it will get familiar to you more and will understand everything. For now, the admin should be looking at making the forum a more user friendly to its members than before.

Everything can be improved, and with the arrival of new users accustomed to BTT it is normal that people do not know the forum, but it is normal. The administrator now has a lot of work with users teleporting their accounts, he is also improving sections and talking to moderators about new ideas and initiatives. We all need to have a little patience.
-
I don't think its complicated but yes a bit different specially for people coming from Bitcointalk.org. I can see lots of people (including me) coming from Bitcointalk.org and it will be a matter of time before we all will get used to this environment also.
-
When I signed up, I was surprised that it wasn't much different from Bitcointalk. I just had to solve a captcha, which took me some time to figure out. The website looks good, and I believe the admin will make improvements over time to make it more user-friendly. When I made my first post, I had to solve the same captcha, making me wonder if it would be required every time. However, after my fifth post, I noticed it wasn't there anymore. I think the captcha was for security, and overall, I'm getting used to how the system works. It's nice to see many familiar legends from Bitcointalk.

That's what I mean. Just because it's different doesn't mean it's complicated, it's just that new users aren't used to it. But that is something that lasts a short time since adapting is not difficult and there are always mods and users willing to help. In a few hours new users will be able to navigate the forum without problems and do what they want with the existing features and some new ones that will be implemented in the future.

If you have spent time on bitcointalk.org then there wont be much issue in posting here, both sites are using BBCode. I am still exploring this site and so far found it great.

I see that you teleported your account if not It's not complicated, you just found it difficult because you're new to the forum. However, after you've posted five times or more now it will no longer show that again.

Honestly, it worth to commend the level of activeness of the admins here. Having active and responsive admins will definitely contribute to the growth of that industry or company. My experience with the admin here was very smooth and I other forums and especially our other crypto related platforms such as exchanges to emulate it and make things easier for the users.

Confirm; this forum is a bit complex to understand because the sections are not well arranged as expected, although the forum moderators and admins know how they arrange it, which I am sure is the right thing to do, but we are probably seen the forum as a complex forum because we are used to bitcointalk forum arrangement, but I believe with time, we will understand here better.

I'm sure your Bitcointalk journey wasn't easy as a newbie to navigate as well, but don't worry with time you will get used to the whole set up. This is a modern forum and mobile friendly compared to Bitcointalk.
Too many sub-boards but I'm already getting used to it. I've been here since 2021 through.

This is because you have spent a lot of time on bitcointalk and are used to how that forum works. In a few days you will see this forum the same, you will have no problem using it. It's just a matter of getting used to it, something that really won't cost you more than a few hours browsing the forum.

Each forum has its own rules to regulate how its members can post on the forum. By setting a CAPTCHA in the comments section, it will prevent non-human users from being able to burst post or spam the forum. And especially if you are human, the CAPTCHA provided by Altcoinstalk.com is not complicated, you should have no problem filling it in because it is very easy to understand.
-
Other users have already answered. For new users, the captcha will be filled for a temporary period and will not be activated after the specified activity. This is mainly designed to prevent spam posters and also, I think this forum is very friendly. It may seem different for a while to the newbies or new commers but after a few days of use anyone will be able to adapt themselves nicely. The ads do not create any inconvenience for the users. I believe you might start to think it's normal after a few days later of use.

I expected this complaint from a user and I have seen it. While the forum seem complicated for the user is because the user has been familiarised with bitcoin forum. So, Op expected to see a replica of BTT in all ramifications but that's not possible. We must acknowledge that this is a separate forum.
I was frustrated by the repeated captcha but cool it didn't take long until it disappeared. So, that shouldn't be a problem to anyone.
The area I am having issues is that there are numerous boards and there's no adequate notification system. It is easy to miss out on a conversation you are involved.

The reason for the captcha has already been explained, what happens is that some users are not used to it and they think that it is something they will always have to do before posting.
As for losing a conversation you're involved in, you can easily fix that.At the top left you will see in red: Show new replies to your posts. « which will take you to this link: https://www.altcoinstalks.com/index.php?action=unreadreplies . Where you can see all the posts in which you have participated.

Am new member here what I felt to understand during my registration process I didn't face any challenge cus the link is very friendly to access,most interface that surface his easily accessible.After all the process his done the term and condition are clearly stated.

what you need to understand in this forum,you could done some little research or either by asking question once you done will familiar with on line stuffs,so that can easily access webpage.

I find it quite challenging to navigate this forum because the interface is much different and fancier than btt forum I know.
What is helping me so far is the fact that I just come online and try to spend much time clicking from one board to another to better understand how I can contribute.
One thing about those who have become experienced with btt forum is that they already know what to say, how to say it and when to say it on the forum to gain merits, so doing same here and growing accustomed to the procedures will come as tacit knowledge.
-
im only on here for 1 day and i have a fairly good grasp of where different things are located.
tbh i cant understand how anyone would post their frustrations after being only here for a very short space of time.
its a forum with different sections, how difficult can it be?
-
Altcointalks forum is not complicated. Once you get used to it (its features and sections) you will feel like fish in a water. It might look complicated only when you are used to other forum. But simalr can be said abou any other forum if you would spend more time her snd be new there. Anyway, there is a live chat, where anyone could get answers quickest possible way.

Hi @Cryptomultiplier. Navigating this forum is something that is "learned" in a few hours. The differences with BTT are practically nil, only aesthetic, since technically both forums are very similar. As for growing in this forum, you have already seen (I imagine) that it is quite simple, you just have to contribute good posts so that your account rises in rank, no merits or anything similar is needed.

Yes the both forums are similar but why those who came from the other forum is saying that this forum is complicated or it is hard to understand and Navigate is because of the numerous boards. Here all the altcoins has their own board and board like women and others. So looking for a particular board is not and easy thing for them but when they spend quality time and Navigate around the forum and ask questions whenever thing they see and don't understand then they will learn to understand the forum in a easy way. Like there was a time I was looking for where I created a thread on Binance, Omen, I looked for it I could not see it so what I did was to check my posts history to get it. But the admin here is trying his best to make things easy for the users of the forum here.

This forum is too complicated to understand and there are too many ads. The registration process too is complicated. Any time when some is making a post, the person must make a verification and that is very bad.
When I first joined this forum I also had to verify when I was going to post. But after a few posts have been made, I don't think that verification is needed anymore. Because even now I send a reply without verifying again. So for me this is still quite easy and easy to understand even for beginners.
But what bothers me a little is that the font or size of the letters on this forum is too big for me. I want a smaller font display. But the positive thing is that this forum is easier to read when using a mobile phone.
Personally, I might have hoped for a simplification of the appearance. Reduced the font size and I think the descriptions of the various sub forums at the bottom of the forum could be removed.
Overall, the first impression is that it feels complicated. but after a few hours adapting to this forum is also quite easy. My suggestion is only about simplifying the appearance and menu.

Seems like the captcha requirement for every post being made is only for low-rank users to avoid spam and bots. I also encountered the same scenario but after my rank was teleported, solving the captcha every post I made was not required.
But what bothers me a little is that the font or size of the letters on this forum is too big for me. I want a smaller font display. But the positive thing is that this forum is easier to read when using a mobile phone.
I tried to look for a setting if there are options to change the size of the text, but unfortunately, no such option. I only found a post from 2018 with a suggestion to change the font size, not sure if the current font size is what was changed in the past.
The current font size is a perfect size for someone like me with poor eyesight.

yes it is use to avoid spamming and it disappears when you have solved the captcha for five times with five posts. And it doesn't matter whether you are a newbie or not but once you complete five posts and solved it five time then it will not appear again.

That is not from the forum and probably the font size is from your browser and if you using Google Chrome just go to settings and in the settings click accessibility then from the accessibility then control or reduce the Text Scaling to 50 or any number of your choice. And that was what normally do to do my text setting.

Well, maybe that's true, friend. This is just like the rules on btt forums that limit posting times too quickly for new users. And as time goes by and activity increases, all of that will disappear.

It turns out the problem was with what device I used to open this forum. Too large fonts only exist on mobile displays. But when it comes to desktop use, everything is very comfortable, just like on BTT. It's just that on the cellphone display some of the text looks too big. But as I said, the positive is that this display makes it easier for cellphone users. So they don't need to zoom when they want to read the discussion here. So what I complain about is not on the desktop display but on the mobile display. Because when I travel I prefer to open forums from my cellphone.

As for growing in this forum, you have already seen (I imagine) that it is quite simple, you just have to contribute good posts so that your account rises in rank, no merits or anything similar is needed.
Yes the both forums are similar but why those who came from the other forum is saying that this forum is complicated or it is hard to understand and Navigate is because of the numerous boards. Here all the altcoins has their own board and board like women and others. So looking for a particular board is not and easy thing for them but when they spend quality time and Navigate around the forum and ask questions whenever thing they see and don't understand then they will learn to understand the forum in a easy way. Like there was a time I was looking for where I created a thread on Binance, Omen, I looked for it I could not see it so what I did was to check my posts history to get it. But the admin here is trying his best to make things easy for the users of the forum here.
I guess we are just used to see the other forum throughout, like in the last 5 years or so for many of us. That most of the time it's hard to adjust when we are in a new forum. So I guess it's time for some adjustment as well, although both forums uses SMF and I have been into this forum them for many years as a freelancer before so I'm confident with it.
And I do agree that the admin did make his best to make this forum easy for newbies. We just have to play around and familiarized ourselves and maybe in a couple of weeks we can all settle down.

When I first joined this forum I also had to verify when I was going to post. But after a few posts have been made, I don't think that verification is needed anymore. Because even now I send a reply without verifying again. So for me this is still quite easy and easy to understand even for beginners.
Seems like the captcha requirement for every post being made is only for low-rank users to avoid spam and bots. I also encountered the same scenario but after my rank was teleported, solving the captcha every post I made was not required.
Well, maybe that's true, friend. This is just like the rules on btt forums that limit posting times too quickly for new users. And as time goes by and activity increases, all of that will disappear.
I think it's not the same as the other forum, Bitcointalk does not have a captcha solve requirement even if you are a newbie. Captcha is only required for login purposes. Unlike in this forum, if you are new, every post is required. But based on @Agbe, once you complete five posts and solve it five times then it will not appear again. But then again, the main purpose of it is solely to avoid spam and other users who burst posts which will only bring a bad image on this forum.

Maybe for you, I personally like this thread the most. Honestly, your rank increases according to your posts. Rather than having to charge like Bitcointalk. Also it does not behave so streaky. really love it

It is true that there are many boards on this forum, but it is not difficult to find them or follow without problems the threads in which users participate. The administrator is working on everything related to the boardss, in the meantime users can use the search function and use https://www.altcoinstalks.com/index.php?action=unreadreplies to follow the threads. When the administrator finishes the work he is doing, everything will be more compact and easier to use.

I don't think that this forum is complicated for someone that is used to btt, the difference is the colorful background. If you are in a similar forum like this, then you need to know that what you need is to take your time and check all boards for easy navigating so that you can see where the board of your interest is. It is just that a lot of altcoins board are separated unlike btt that they are put into one. I must say that I could easily navigate through this forum the first time that I registered because of my experience from btt.
