New Format Critique Thread

[gecko]

Well, now you've all seen the new format, and we've been getting some great feedback. :)

Now we need to hear the bad news. What don't you like about this new format? Is there something you'd like to see changed/added?

Let us know so we can make it better. :D

I like the new format. What's the default window size? I have to scroll to the right to hit the "post reply button." Never had to do that before. :confused:

Yeah, there's not really anything we can do about that. If someone posts a huge picture it will do that. Just try to be considerate and post smaller pictures, not everyone has a 57" projection monitor ;)

[KrusteeButt]

I really like the new format a lot. Very very cool.
I did like on the old one that I could "View New Posts" from the home page. Maybe it's on this one and I'm just not seeing it.

I like the addition of the "Polls" board...except that I can't add a poll! I understand that if you allow anyone to post a poll you'll get 1000 idiots posting ridiculous polls that are a waste of bandwidth. I just wanted to post a poll so that there was something other than "Your Favorite Pork Product". It looked lonely.

[KrusteeButt]

Oops. Nevermind, I found it.

View New Posts is still there, just on the other side of the page now:

An ad question: Why do some (the top banner, notably) pop up new windows, while the others don't?

[fubar5]

The only thing that is a small bugger to me is that I have to log in everytime I come here. It used to be as long as I didn't clear the cookies on my computer or log out, I never had to log in.

I really preferred the black, grey, and green to the-dare I say it?-MTBR-ish white background. It just seemed more, well, sophisticated!

Great to see the site's expanding, though! Keep it up!

OS is Operating System right?
I use my browser is Microsoft Internet Explorer(the version that comes with Windows 98)
About the OS, I'm not sure about everything. It is a Gateway with a Pentium II 500 mghz HD, 128 MB of RAM, and I have Road Runner, the modem is a SurfBoard SB4100.

Yup. I checked it and it is at yes.

Today it is working. I logged in yesterday and when I came here for the fisrt time today I was already logged in. But the forum I am seeing is the one for people who are not logged in.

Anyways...the site is awesome....the new things to visit and do on it are great....:D:D:D And I of course LOVE the fact that I can submit articles to you now and again and you'll post'em where people can read'em if you like'em

Cool feature, thanks!

[gravity]

personally i don't really like the new layout. why have you STILL not acknowledged my greatness? :angry:


also...... BRING BACK ALL THE BLOODY SMILIES! the devil and angry ones are cool, but add in all the old ones too!

[fubar5]

The weather feature kick's ass! I love it!

[Super8freerider]

Its all good.

[PGR]

It all looks pretty allright. One thing I don't like though, are the comercials/adds/spam on the left, of the thread listings. It cluders the overview... I understand that they have to be somewhere though.

[Toshi]

ah, how history repeats itself.

to avoid confusion: THIS IS A REALLY OLD THREAD, dating from the days when the green + sidebar + ads layout was new.

spud was part of the jersey dave/cheers clan (possibly another brother?) who used to trawl through really old posts and reply to them, sparking new life to a long-dormant thread which people wouldn't at first realize was old news.

about hcor: that would make sense. he must have landed on my ignore list very early on :D . anyway, why i dug up this thread is because i had posted an attachment in it, and the new user cp lets one look through all the attachments that have been posted. cool feature, although i'm not quite sure how it's useful...
