BritinUSA Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 I like it. The Add Post panel is much bigger, it feels like I'm typing in an ocean instead of a puddle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sperman Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 A few other positives I noticed: When you get a reply to a topic you are tracking, that topic title appears in the e-mail title. When you get a PM, the text of that PM appears in your e-mail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Miles Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 Don't like it. Too damn bright! I know I'm just a guest here but the new view is just uncomfortably bright and isn't conducive to spending lengthy periods of time checking out the new posts, etc. My eyes, my eyes, Pat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BritinUSA Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 (edited) I think this new version offers the ability for the provider to have different 'skins' ie. appearances for the forum that users can select. I suggest giving it a few days for everything to settle down then maybe some tweaking can begin. I like the fact that I can finally change my title...

Vlad Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 (edited) Please please add some skins, specially the ones the eat some of the huge amounts of blank space on the screen. As I scroll through threads most of it page is blank, the previous version presented a lot more information per page. I run my monitor at a decent res, and I can fit maybe 3 posts per screen, mostly because the avatar and user info takes quite a bit of screen, often more then the content itself. Is there a reason to display Group, Posts, and Join date (besides making Flex feel like the king of the world with his post count)? Page length also needs to be longer then 25 posts, the way threads get around here, you will see double digit page counts in hours.

Chris Keen Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 (edited) Page length also needs to be longer then 25 posts, the way threads get around here, you will see double digit page counts in hours. That is an option in your user control panel ..... I'm looking at post #31 right now, on page 1 of 1.

I know, and it should probably be 50 by default, if for no other reason but the "This was answered on page 2 .. oh wait what is your page size?" mess, but maybe it is just me.

bobert1 Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 (edited) Everything looks like it transferred for me too. When I clicked for new content I got more than 250 pages of posts. ?????? I'm on line most days. I can't be that far behind. Edited January 20, 2010 by bobert1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hitman Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 Like the new headder and footer but not much else, seems too bright to me also and it dosent fill my screen like the old one.. Guess I will get used to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the cookie name/format may have changed so it may have lost the date/time of your last visit. I saw the same issue and once I hit the Mark All Read then it's worked correctly.

Steve J Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 I don't like. No, Sir. I don't like it at all. It's not comfortable. The old site was easy on the eyes. This is harsher. I don't deal well with change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Keen Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 Give it time folks. It's gonna take Brian some time to get everything the way he wants it, or at least a little closer to the way it once was. Anything good is worth waiting for!

jasmap Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 I'll give it all the time in the world and I will adjust but I must say it is not as nice as the previous forum look. But.....all things come to pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BritinUSA Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 Hello: The search function doesn't work either.

D.Hayden Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 Like others have mentioned, the color palette is too 'contrasty' (I think that's a word). The overall look I can get used too.. but this 'theme' is very harsh on the eyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
