2. I've also asked EarlG about this. It seems that activity is down, and DU4 is simply not working well

enough for enough people at this point. So I asked in DU mail if we could return to DU3 and have DU4 back in beta test mode until all the problems people are running into with lots of different devices can be solved.

There are a few improvements over DU3 with DU4, in a few areas, but in general DU4 strikes me as less user-friendly than DU3.

And it isn't because people are dumb, or old and unwilling to change, or even "troglodytes" as one reply in this forum suggested the other day..

No one should ever be insulting people having trouble with the board. Boards should be easy to use, for everyone. I don't recall ever seeing lots of complaints about DU3.

Skinner Mode looks quite a bit like DU3, but doesn't work as well. I wish it did, but no matter which mode highplainsdem Oct 2023 #5

And how are people supposed to know that? At least put those instructions on the same line as Culture Forums. highplainsdem Oct 2023 #7
