It's been a fun few years reading and participating at Real GM. Thanks to the Owners of Real GM and all of the posters.

The new forum is really bad compared to what is was and that's too bad. Best of luck to those that continue with it. As for me, it now reminds me of the ESPN board and other crappy boards and I'm going to pass on the new system.

The stuff on the right runs into the messages, and the message runs off the right side if it is too long and you have no clue what the person was saying. Overall I think change is good if it keeps it up on draft day, but I loved the old design comparatively and I found the old design easier to learn/use.

no offense, but this guy owned all you guys and there's nothing you can do about it because he's gone and never coming back. Last word FTW :nonono:

I don't mind the new look, but I notice my eyes feel strained reading the forum now. I think it's due to the low contrast blue on blue on blue.

Some other forums I frequent have the option of changing colour schemes. Does this one?

It's now at the point that I hesitate before hitting the bookmark.

I'm not sure if this was posted yet, but has anyone noticed that the word "sophomore" is spelled "sophmore" in the post rankings?

If you are using Firefox, add this to your userContent.css in your chrome directory inside your profile:

*[class*="post bg2"] { background-color: #FFFFFF ! important }
*[class*="row bg2"] { background-color: #FFFFFF ! important }

Will using this mess with other websites too?

That is the main risk. But the class names that are triggering the css rule don't look very likely to me to be used elsewhere. You can make it safer by making the rule more specific, such as:
DIV[class*="pagewrap"] DIV[class*="post bg2"] { background-color: #FFFFFF ! important }

I tried your hack for the wiretap. Your code hid the entire wiretap, was that the goal? Or maybe it's not working properly for me.

That was the goal. It may be possible to just show the tap headlines and nothing else, and to do it in less space like it used to, but I haven't worked on that yet. It may require a Greasemonkey script to do it rather than just css.

Thanks a bunch anyways for the code. I try to avoid Greasemonkey, since it's another extension that needs to load which will slow my browser down more.

Any change that ends up disabling some scripted widget like the wiretap scroller thingy usually ends up speeding up the page, rather than slowing it down. I've noticed that the realgm pages now feel pretty snappy for me.

This is a disastrous change. I’m well aware there are bugs to be fixed and what not, but as countless other users already previously mentioned it looks terrible.

Noooooooo.

rilamann · Post #475 » by **rilamann** » Mon Jun 16, 2008 9:18 pm

As someone who has browsed/posted on these forums for over 6 years now this new forum sucks bigtime,please change it back or change it to something similar to what it used to be.

Not only does it look terrible but it also makes the realgm experience of posting and reading posts terrible.

To the person/persons responsible for this change i'd like to say congrats on driving a once great website into the ground.

This update sucks for many reasons:

1. New levels for post counts.
2. I've noticed that on the Bucks board, many of the posts are cut off because the box isn't wide enough to show the rest of the text. What's up with that?
3. NO QUICK REPLY?! Disastrous.

my only REAL issue with this switch is the very poor timing, right in the middle of avery heated finals where many are posting alot....

I actually LOVE the new post count levels.. I thought it was WAY too easy to achieve RealGM status.. I mean why would someone with 1,000 posts be on the same level as someone with 30,000 posts? Once you have your 1000, you have nothing else to look forward to.

There's also the sense of achievement once you reached the RealGM status, as it probably took a few years to do so..

How is that a bad thing? Suck it up, when people have 10,000 posts it's time for a change.

Take time to read the forum bugs section or even the thread before posting, it's being worked on and will be up eventually.

PEOPLE NEED TO CALM DOWN AND WAIT FOR THEM TO GET ALL OF THE KINKS AND BUGS WORKED OUT OF THE SKIN!

Most of the complaints are just in the skin, not the board, so it's all easily changed. Just chill out and let them do their jobs...
