Almost looks like a new forum now?! :D
Yeah, I'm not so sure I like it, I suppose i'll get used to it if it's permanent though.
It certainly takes getting used to.
But more on the hi-tech side I feel. I like it.
I feel like saying "To infinity and beyond!" or putting on my Buck Rogers outfit! :laugh:
Serious face now! I do like it. I like the way you can hit the "up" button on the top of the post and the post dissapears. Joy!!
I vote for the old one. Dunno but something is bothering me in this new... :s
It's okay, but if i had to vote, i'd go with the old one. This may start to get me to like it more soon, but i'm not sure about it.
I think there is too much empty space now, while i like having the name on the right corner, i feel the other information takes too much space, same with the bottom of the post thingy with edit/delete-optionsQuote:

Gotta agree. I mean look at the graphics for the BBC weather. When that came out to replace the old 2 Dimensional graphics people did complain. Some were aired on Points of View.
But quickly it did die down and people quickly got used to it, seemingly, whilst being unaware.
It will be the same here. I bet suddenly people will think nothing of it.
Did the font size or font change? Because it seems harder to read now.
looks more like any other forum now but I'm ok with it
On the main page of each forum, I noticed that the little icon next to each thread title that you click to go to the first unread post has changed a bit. It used to be when you came back to that page after reading new posts, the icon would have a little "halo" around it showing you the last thread you'd viewed. That little "halo" doesn't show up anymore. It makes it a might tougher to find your place when you go back to the main page.

I'd only just got used to the old new forum. Now we've got a new new forum. And I still prefer the old old forum in red and white (Exeter City colours). There seem to be a lot of dashes everywhere. All round the status and that under your username. not in anyway interesting but I haven't got much else to say. Might keep saying suff though, just for the hell of it. On the other hand I might go and get a beer, yup a beer sounds like a good idea :beer:
There are certain icons that are universally recognised on forums, such as the "go to first unread post" and "you have contributed to this thread". It just seems strange and counterintuative without these.
And there's a lot of blank space between posts. A lot.
I like the btccinfo.co.uk version though :D Thanks Mark :up:
I would like older face of forum too...
There is way too much needless graphics and way too much empty space.
Go back to the old one :s
Making room for avatars? :eek: :p :Quote:

Maybe I'm blind (or feckless with computers) but all I thought was it had reverted back to an old version and my pooter had invented a new way to annoy me :rolleyes:
I like it :up:
OK, there can be new version, but we wants old skin!
I would like to see more than 3 lines and 300 letters in the sig
plus an avatar would be cool, the site below has basically anything you want and it doens't run slow at all
its a improvement, I like it, only problem GP2 in the F1 Forum, i perfered it in the main menu
Nearly freaked out - I thought I was being hijacked to 10-tenths. :p :Quote:

I hope you do like the new style, but if you really can't get used to it, the old default style is still available, use the style picker drop down box at the bottom of the page and choose "Old Default Style"
If there is anything missing from the old style that doesn't show up here then let me know and I'll try to put it back in.
Mark, Is the location and size of the quote/edit... box a done deal?
I feel it adds a bit too much empty space between posts compared to the old way of having it inside the post box.

Old

Would it be possible to do it like in the lower pic?
Nothing is a done deal, and I've already been looking into changing it so it looks exactly as you've depicted there. It would mean drastically cutting sig legnths, but that's no bad thing :p
Well, who reads sigs anyway? I know I usually loose interest in the message after the first line or fifth word :p :
I thought older version of forum with blue background...Quote:

This new skin does not provide an easy survey. For me the blue one was much better for quick orientation, sorry :confused:
I've worked out what's bugging me: it's that "collapse" box and arrow above every single post. That's what's giving the impression of all the wasted space:
It seems more complicated than before!
Too much going on and too many features :\
I'm a happy camper now, the long awaited side format is back, birthdays are in the bottom, things are just like they were in 2005 :)
Rallyforym layout isn't too bad either.
Only problem i see is that the buttons aren't in their right place if the post is nly one or two rows long.
I know :s . I'd like them to be at the bottom but I've found I've ran out of HTML talent :( :pQuote:

I like it. Nice to see the user info back where it belongs down the side of posts.
Just need some darker skins for the forum as they are all too pale at the moment.
Good work Mark.
Personally, I like it... but that might be partly because it blends in so well with my Windows XP Silver theme so it's not so obvious that I'm looking at the forum at work. :uhoh:
Finally the pages of the forum fit my screen and it looks great
Thanks Mark
