Welcome To The New Forum

[Buck You]

Honestly, this new layout is absolutely terrible.
-No quick reply
-No General Off Topic
-The posts get cut off if they're too long
-User-info cuts into post boxes


I think the changes this site has been undergoing are extremely unecessary. It doesn't even look better. The homepage looks awful, with the sprite ads in the background. This forum layout is soo...bleh. The site is trying WAYY too hard to look more professional, the old layout was fine and the simplicity made it look clean and easy to navigate through.

This new layout does not have my support.

Dude, are you serious? Just click off-topic and the OT board is right there. If you can't find that then you can't give any criticism to anything.

[Buck You]

don't know if its the new forums, but everytime a link is given it no longer opens a new window. Now it just takes away the forum page and goes directly to the link in the same window.

Yeah, I've noticed that too. The old Real Gm would always open it in a new window. Now you have to right click the link and click"open in new tab." Nothing horribly annoying, just something that's kinda weird.

Can we also get the little "Moderator" logos back to clearly indicate who is a mod and who isn't? I epecially liked the tribute to "PacerFan"...but any logo'll do.

Hey, thanks for changing the colors!

Or hold down the control key when clicking links.

ETA: Are the colors different on different forums intentionally? On the current events forum, everything is grey. I like that color scheme.

SUGGESTION.

Don't put the author name under the thread topic name. Most people don't care who created it when browsing a list of topics. This will make the forum 10x easier to browse and less scrolling. I guarantee you everyone will love it. The author name should be on the same line as the thread name or another column.

*This goes for the page with list of thread topics and not replies to the thread topic. Like when browsing in General Discussion.

Posting on a quick-paced Game thread will suck big time. I miss the Quick Reply feature.

[bayrdbandit]

bring back the quick response.

[SportsWorld]

Guys, the quick reply is coming back sometime after the draft. This has been said multiple times.

[doclinkin]

Hate the slide show.
Hate the hypertext link thread title in every post.
Hate the color scheme, wee tiny font, unreadability. Really really tired of waiting for that long-promised archive.
Sincerely dislike the bias against long-running threads.

And now that the thing keeps eating my posts after I spend time and thought on them, forcing me to back up and re-submit, etc, well, I'm basically done for a while.

Dun like beratement, dun like umber
dun like dyslexia mispelling dunber and dumber
auto-lobotomizing oneself to please the crowd
sorry the update stinks out loud
synaesthetically speaking
it's aesthetically freaking
my synapses
with the craptastic visuals
i get afterimages blurry, reoccuring residuals
the lees and dregs of a muddied sorta brew
so until the stuff settles I'll just have to make do
with actually wasting my time in productive fashion
seize the day or get seizures, put the word into action
as a proactive step to forestall certain madness
See y'all on draft day, good luck with this bad mess.

And apologies as usual for the dog-dropping doggerel. It's just sorta what I doo doo.

later

-doc.

honestly it sucks...

[JJ LoDuca]

No "quick reply" box, which I used for nearly all of my posts.
The threads to not remain in order of most recently created - oldest, but instead shift positions constantly when a new reply is posted. This feature irks me most of all out of all of the nuisances that have come along with this "upgrade."

I overwhelmingly prefer the old format.

[floppymoose]

on the plus side, author search performance is much much better. "View your posts" loads almost instantly for me, and now I can actually go to deeper pages in the result list without getting "no search met your criteria."

The site in general really flies now - but note that I have the slideshow blocked and also the flash and javascript ads. If you are seeing slowdown those may be the problems.

I suspect the new software performs much better, which means less chance of drastic slowdowns on busy days.

[fivas14]

Real GM realy sucks now. You can't tell what threads have new posts. It's **** awful. I used to check Real GM 7-10 times a day, now I barely get on here because it's horrible.

[ss-wiish!]

yeah

everybody's complaining about not having a quick reply

[magicfan4life05]

what about the pms we had?

[Teabag]

like others have said, it will take time to get use to but it will be just fine ... but, I must say that I don't like that "boldin" something in a posters quote, isn't very bold. Also I don't like that the threads that I've posted in aren't as highlighted as they were before ... the last thing I want to do on this forum is use my brain ... no bold and no highlight make Homer go something, something, something

[cdl]

It's way too hard to read!! To the point that I'll eventually go somewhere else for b-ball news


Iike the orange personally too

[TrueNorthStrong]

For the slide thing at the top. I think a good idea would be to make it like a tab. and than make it a pop up. So if someone wants to see it.. they can click on it.. like have 1 or 2 head lines max. than beside it write. See More. than the whole thing pops up and than you can minimize it again.

How's that?
