ray007 Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 not liking the change here, my eyes are struggling to get used to the colour scheme, and as mentioned things don't stand out as much and seems i'm taking longer to find/see threads etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suprab1 Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 I like it My only complaint is the pics that you attach in posts don't show up anymore, you have to click into them in individually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wez Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 reply with quote i think, earlier on it kept deleting everything i had written in the reply and i had to start again, annoying as hell I know how to quote in threads, I was asking about PMs. You use to be able to qoute the senders message in your reply, I can't see where you do this now.

jevansio Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 I know why I think it looks too cluttered, it's because every line has the same headins on, rather than having them as a column header, take for example the New Posts page (which I use a lot), it says "Forum:" on every single line, rather than at the top as a column header, this makes identifying the forum hard as it's all mixed up with "Forum:". This applies to the other coumns too, Started By, Replies, Views, Last Post is all repeated on every single line, it clutters the page right up and makes scanning for the important info a lot harder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martini Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 I prefer the new one. It's too late anyway, it's not going back so I'd just lump it TBH. It's quite a lot of work doing such a thing, which people completely take for granted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jevansio Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 Just to add I totally appreciate the work Lee has done to get this up & running, & I do actually prefer the feel of the updated layout, it's just a couple of constructive critcism i have to make it a better place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mawby Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 it's just a couple of constructive critcism i have to make it a better place i welcome them. the old site had lots of mods from the out-of-the-box forum defaults which is why getting this upgrade done has taken up so much of my time. i'm happy to keep modding the new one too so it's as easy to use and feature rich as possible, but people need to accept it wont happen over night and i need ideas of how to make it better instead of blanket comments like "it's terrible" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ForumSpy to have the refresh rate increased, it's a fair chunk slower to refresh a list than the old version 2. Facebook Connect to be added to interface with FB for quick registrations or sign in 3. Recent thread frame on the right side 4. The CMS to be up and running All minor things, but this vB4 is well on the way to being superb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
