+1.. Didn't want to mention this problem as I thought I'd be the only one bringing it up...... Our eyes are always looking at one specific spot to retrieve the username. But sometimes there's an avy, sometimes there isn't. I think having the username always consistently appearing at one location (before the avatar) would make sense.

New layout is hard to read when drunk.

Props to the designers taking care of that.



Good to hear, so at least there is force that is trying to mend the gaps in the bridge.


Perhaps I was a little harsh when I first signed in, but it was a shock to me... I guess its up to us to give a little as well to facilitate a change for the better. I am still a little out of my element though.

I would have thought the other way around.

I dont like this new layout either. At least consider bringing back some of the popular features like quick reply and maybe the quote layout as well.

The quotes seem to work when you double quote, it makes the pane white.

example


I think admin needs to change some defaults.

why is it so narrow, is real estate expensive on the internet? you've jammed in as much as you could in the content area and there's this big empty gray area just to its left, why not use it?

the slide thing above the forum looks hideous and doesn't fit with the design you seem to be going for, it just gets in the way

ha, i also found that to be a small thing that should be changed back. username should be first.

Btw, how does someone tell if they have read a thread previously, and if they had posted on a thread previously? Sorry if I am covering something already covered, but wanted to add my 2 cents. why do I have to submit more than once, and wtf, my screen keeps jumping around. I hope you get the bugs worked out, or it wont be worth the trouble to post/read here.


.................................................

I totally agree, but it does actually mark topics that you've posted in; there's a little star to the left of the topic name. It's still very hard to see though; I definitely liked the old way better. As for the marking of threads you've read already - you have to look at the date that the thread was posted, but I definitely wish it would mark it. Please change this forum back!!!

Are sensing a gosh darn pattern? WTF. Our starting PG sucks. Got to get him out of there.

Rondo is absolutely killing this team. Can't make a freaking layup and shoots 33 percent on jumpers. We win in spite of him.

BTW, you know what sucks more than this transition?

People complaining about the EXACT SAME THINGS in every post.

We understood the complains the first time. We understood them the second time, and even the third, but by the 76th time, its just annoying.

I can't seem to report a bug. The site that I'm directed to in the link made by winterpeg needs a username, password combo, and I've got neither...do only mods get to report bugs?

I don't know if anyone else has mentioned this but I think the color could be changed.
