I hate the new layout!

Post #1 » by **B Mac** » Tue Jun 24, 2008 5:43 pm

I reserved initial judgement on the new realgm layout for a while to give myself a chance to get used to it and to see if I liked it.... I dont. In fact I pretty much hate it and I find myself spending far less time on here than before.

I hate the new wiretap and find myself going out of my way to avoid looking at it, which Im sure has caused me to miss some things that I would have normally clicked on and read.

I also hate the new icons that are displayed for posts. I have a hard time telling what they are saying, and they also load waaaay slower than the old ones. Actually the whole site loads waaaay slower than before.

The quoting system seems jacked up, and its often hard to tell who is quoting who. Something needs fixed there.

The site is often still buggy. Too many times I have to reload because people's posts have turned into one long line that I can only read a part of, and too many times I've had to reload because the Times Square worth of advertizing at the top of the page hasn't loaded right and it had facked up the rest of the page. Ugh..

I also wish that at the bottom of the page they would have a link that could take you back to the forum you were just reading in, instead of having to scroll all the way back to the top of the page or having to find it in the drop down selection on the bottom.

The drop down box, however, is one of the few things that I do like about the new setup. It saves time to not have to go back to the index anytime you want to change boards, but I wish they wouldnt have got rid of the bottom link to put it in.

So there's my take on it. I feel like Im forgetting a couple of things, but I just wanted to rant. What are your thoughts?

Hate is pretty strong, but I'm not a fan either.

I'd have to agree. I used to like coming to this site for the wiretap and also to quickly browse the Cavs and Gen Boards. But with the new layout it's actually kind of a pain to do so.

You know who has a good board layout, RCF....

I'm kinda biased but I still prefer the Cavs posters on this site more than I do most others. But the new layout is going to take some getting used to especially since it does have some issues right now.

It sure did some progress from initial utter shock but I am definitely not a fan of this "new" RealGM either, it was close to perfect as it was before and now it's almost painful to check and read...But hey, maybe it will force me to spend my time in more useful manner than spending it on basketball message board...like studying more often. Or maybe like going to RCF instead. :roll:

I still haven't gotten used to it either, but the drop down for different boards is nice

I have to agree.. I don't mind the look of it and it's always great for a change.. But the speed of everything is ridiculous. It felt like a couple years ago in the off season when RealGM took a couple minutes to load. I hate new wiretap style with the stupid slides. I prefer to just look at the headlines rather than the draft simulator and what not..
