Here I can go from L&R to P&N to OT to PC games etc with one click.

When I am bored I can surf the forums looking for something interesting.

But on the beta you have to back out of one sub-group and then enter the next.

Will make surfing the forum harder and I would expect really cut down on the amount of traffic on the forum, especially the sub forums.

You may find people become more forum specific since moving from group to group is too much work.

My 2 cents.

PJ, slowing your navigation down a notch will benefit all of us. 😉 😛
 
Can't comment on color/themes till I look at it on a comp, but seriously shoot whomever has the per page settings so low. Feels like reading war and peace for first graders. It's only 2 sentences per page, just ignore the 250000 pages you must go through.

As for the bells, whistle, chrome, et cetera... Bring it on, less is never better.

And if complaining because someone may "catch you" viewing while at work. Um, is this really the place for a lesson in morales.

1) make it so that user names show up on the left (like it is now on fusetalk)
2) Enable avatars! (no custom ones please)
3) Disable formatting of text besides the basics like - bold/italics/underline/bullets/etc. I don't want to see bright pink lettering with a bright green background.
4) Enable quick reply without clicking on anything
5) Remove 10 char minimum.
6) and more when I see it

now that I've been on it with a normal device, other than the comments about navigation and such I already mentioned....it's very, uh, bland/boring looking.

You can change the amount to a decent number.
 
I agree with pretty much everything in this thread. Is anyone going to make a new mobile site for these forums? I assume atforums.mobi isn't going to place nicely with the new software.

you can disable them

that's all well and good, but will that replace them with links, or someway to at least see the message?

many of the responses in OT are via pic link, and so I'm wondering if people will just become complacent about pasting pics, and those with pics turned off will see nothing but a bunch of blank posts.
