The New Layout Is Terrible

Just some honest feedback for the creators of this site.

This new layout is poorly designed.

The old design was perfect. It did not require any change.

1. The spacing is huge
2. Font size is huge
3. The colors are bland
4. Cannot click on thread pages
5. The forums lag now
6. It's not very user friendly
7. The buttons are highlighted by symbols
8. Users reporting avatar issues
9. The forum is a little too bright
10. It just does not look very good quite frankly

I definitely agree that there's way too much wasted space and the font size needs to be reduced. Obviously there's plenty of bugs to tweak over the coming days/weeks but that occurs every time an upgrade of this scale occurs.

What I'd really like to see is the Wiretap going just about anywhere else, or maybe having it minimized by default or something. I just feel like there's way too much wasted space up there.

In general, I like the idea, but there is some work to be done. As always, I'm intrigued to see how the RealGM crew improves this place.

Like I said in the other thread I think its clean but I think it needs a little more color.

My main complaint is that the top banner, logo and tabs are all ugly. Somehow worse than the Raptors' new rebrand.

Agree the Wiretaps should go anywhere else, or make them pulldowns like before. Also agree about there being too much open space.

Everything else has been smart incremental upgrades. Anything awkward will be easy to get used to.

Appreciate the feedback, but let's try to keep it all in one thread so it's easier to follow up with everything.
