Holy advertisement, Batman! I know the site has to make money and all...but wow, all you can see are ads at the top of the page.

I'm going to see Sprite in my nightmares! :nonono:

I think they are going to screw around with the layout in the next few days.

I think there was a post earlier in this thread that said nothing will be touched until after the draft?

Meh, Maybe. All I know is this isn't the finished product.

About the advertisement complaints, get Adblocker from Firefox. I can't see these ads.

Actually, I don't mind the occasional ad...I'm used to it. But when you have 3 ads flashing in front of my eyes that's just a bit much.

Hopefully after a few more tweaks to the new interface it'll start to look more like the old lay out.

Actually, you can... Check this example with Adblock plus and element hider:

Or you could dowload the flashkiller add-on for Firefox.

Yeah, I figured that out...but you'd still have to go through and manually block every frame. It's just annoying.

I'm sorry, but the new look is just awful. The way things are displayed is a nightmare; the colors, the general format, the ability to find the information you are looking for...its just a mess.

Maybe they just tried this out to see how we would react. Maybe they'll try a different one.

Agreed.

Big thumbs down on the sight redesign. When change introduces improvement, it's a good thing. This comes across as "change for change's sake". Over all the new layout sucks, the color scheme is awful and the the news ticker/video piece outright sucks.

Sorry, love the content, hate the layout.

It isn't change just for the sake of change, and it isn't just a new layout.

According to winterpeg, quick reply will be back, but not until after the draft, the color scheme will likely be changed back to the way it was, and the quote boxes will be changed so you can see them of course.

The layout is awful. At least the previous version, while being relatively basic, was streamlined and concise. This current one simply adds clutter and the entire layout is incredibly underwhelming and looks terrible, to be honest... Maybe the forums will be improved intuitively and more features will be available, but on the whole the layout detracts from any possible improvements.

This place desperately needs a makeover as this current layout is graphically a jumbled mess.

Good lord wtf is this?

what happened to the quick reply function

nasty daddy · Post #336 » by **nasty daddy** » Sun Jun 15, 2008 11:34 pm

This seems to be the standard in forums, as I'm on another site here in Australia, which is the exact format. Which also had to do a upgrade to the exact same format, i have no problem with it.

It's taking forever to God damn load.

This is the worst message board layout in the history of message board layouts.

If RealGm sticks with this layout posting is going to take a NOSEDIVE.

I know people don't like change, but this is hideous.
