Who likes the new forums?

[Speedworx]

I don't like this new one either. It may be faster but it still lags imho. I could care less about flags, colors etc. However I'm dissappointed that the older threads (particularly on Nostalgia branch) couldn't have been saved.

Also too, I can't seem to locate the date and time on the posts, which was a nice feature, as opposed to the stop-watch feature indicating the posts were done 3 years 78 days 8 hrs. 23 minutes ago.

But I suppose it's a change for the better to improve the forum or perhaps it was a financial necessity that I have little knowledge about at the moment since I just got on here and have yet to read other threads/posts on this forum segment.

'Any-who', I imagine that eventually the bugs will be worked out... I hope.

I also prefer the actual time a post was done. Not "3 hours ago" or something very general like that. When this forum first came online I liked it a lot. Since then I have found things that I don't like. I think we should have kept the old forums, they were SO much better.

I also prefered the old "post time", "1 day ago" it's kinda confussing

It just seems like so much wasted space to me. Maybe I need to play with formats? An entire line for the message icon? The text spread across the entire page? Makes it more difficult to speed read. Same thing with having the flags and the reply options hanging out in right field. Definitely prefer the time of the posts rather than "two hours ago" or the like.

I rarely post but I came over to see what the new forum looked like. I'll continue lurking until I get used to it.

One thing which i think was good was the 'number of new posts in a thread' , i miss that.

That was a non-standard addon for vBulletin 2 which did drain a lot of server resources.

Ok, i'll just start writing down the post numbers on paper then. :

OK you do that if you really are sad enough to have that much time on your hands. :

I don't know if this feature can be retained, as other boards use "x hours ago" definition also.

I don't know how this will effect enforcing the deadlines in the (non Pickems) NASCAR games.
Some of the NASCAR games use 1st practice & qualifying for deadlines.
The hour format could create a problem as I'm not in front of the computer all day long.
The time format made it easy to see who was past deadline.
