How long we going to wait until the proper look returns. The poll clearly shows people don't want it at the top!

The majority are not always right. Just look at George Bush ;)

In this case they are right. Its horrid at the top. Only idiots would like it that way. Has to be a reason why this forum is now dead compared to what it used to be. Making it look ugly isn't going to bring people back.

Call me an idiot but I prefer it the way it is as it free's up the whole width of the page so you can read an entire post without having to scroll accross.

And I am willing to bet that the reason the forum is so quiet is because people prefered the old look of the forum not the layout. I said it before on this new forum and I'll say it again, "people dont like change".

And that's perhaps the most stupid reason not to participate.
While i reserve the right to complain bitterly for the next few weeks about minescule changes in font colours inside whatnotts, i don't really care about the small stuff.
I'm alredy familliarised myself here.

It's a matter of taste said the dog while licking his balls.

I don't find that generalising comfortable :down: Then again, I'm an idiot so what do I know except the forum is fine.

Has anyone considered that the christmas is coming, the New Year is coming, folks here might just have more important things to do than hang around in a forum. ?? Just a longshot.

Yes. I agree with Jani. People are more than likely busy with christmas shopping and not posting on forums than going "I'm NEVER EVER EVER going to post on motorsportforums.com again until they change it back to the way I like"

If Jani is an idiot I'm also an idiot because I prefer the way it is now :) Idiots stick together brother J? :dork:

Simple, get a bigger monitor!

I find it harder to read as the text is all stretched out. Having the info at the side makes it much easier to read the forum. Also its WAY too much scrolling to get back to the top to change threads. My poor mouse is dying!

Much better looking!:

If 79.30% of the people who have voted say that it should be down the side, surely that deserves a quick answer from one of the mods as to whether its going to happen or not, rather than being ignored.

Its not being ignored, rather, being reviewed by a panel of judges ;)

Nothing will change in 2006. When I return in 2007 it may be reviewed :p

Let's just hope it's not the same ones from the Florida elections that gave us Bush!

It is all that we can hope is that the majority vote is recognized.
We do realize that ultimately it is your decision & we will accept whatever you decide.

I wonder how much longer this poll will be open before a decision is made ... :uhoh:
10th January 2007, 14:28
Erki

Hallooo! Decision is already made! :D
Majority doesn't always win. :p :
It's the quality, not quantity that counts. :D

harvick#1

of course majority doesn't win anymore, espcially here in the states, one person bitches about something, everyone suffers

Erki, I hope MARK makes the announcement (whatever it is).
Quite frankly I've learned not to believe anything unless MARK says it.
I hope you understand that I feel MARK has the final say in things.

I'm not going to argue about it but it will seem awfully foolish to have a poll that means nothing.
If someone's mind is already made-up, why bother asking people's opinions ?

It's Dave Brockman, not Mark who started this thread. :)

But didn't Mark start the poll thread (and they got merged)? I can't remember...

I don't see the big fuss. If you'd all grown up with it on the top then you'd be complaining about it being on the side :) I could understand if we had avatars and it made the pages even longer but I think it's fine either way :)

SIDE, or at least configurable

1. Because this is how it used to be and it worked. Why change it? The post count, the national flag (which is a unique feature of this forum) was more visible, just below the nickname.

2. A practical argument: the lines of the post are too long if the user information is on the top. Shorter lines are easier to read.

side please

Side is much better in my opinion. The way it is now is not practical.
22nd January 2007, 17:51
viper_man

Im growing to it like this actually. It splits the posts up better, and makes them easier to read.

Either that or I just don' care no more
21st February 2007, 23:36
Speedworx

This still needs to be looked at. Top makes it too long to read with double the number of boxes per page. Side is tradititional (and better) and would like to see it return, or atleast the option to choose.

As several said, I like the new functionality but I'd rather have the old feeling of the forums.

Hell it's been so long now I can't remember how down the side looked, I certainly preferred it at the time though.

Three months and you can't remember, McC?

Wow, that's the first sign already setting in :p :

I prefered side, too. Only for practicle reasons, as in my computer's so old I have to scroll about side to side sometimes.
