I like the new forums...

[brigden]

With the black color theme the new forums are quite appealing. The new user icons are pimp. I was getting bored anyway. Change is good.

 

[bleeb]

They need to work on the errors and I hate the fact of so many popup windows..

 

[Buttzilla]

its not so bad.

 

[pyonir]

Pop up windows suck. I don't like them and I don't have to quit my bitchin.

 

[Kalvin00]

I hate the new forums, but whining will do no good...

 

[MazerRackham]

Safari blocks popups, so no problems there for me. And I like the black color scheme as well. The only think I don't care for is the exact date that people joined up. It was fine as just Month/Year before.

 

[purbeast0]

LoL the changes are fine. it just will take a lil while to get used to then no one will even notice ...

How would you reply/quote/edit if Safari blocks the pop-ups? I use the quick reply most of the time, but to edit it would have to pop up another window.

Oh, well in Safari you can have it block all popups except those that you directly navigate too, i.e. the reply window that pops up. I am using this particular popup to write you this fine reply

Just another reason to get yourselves a Macintosh! (Proceed with the "macs are crap" flames)...

The only things I really don't like is that old topics which may have gotten a reply are now put back on the "Your Latest Messages" in the My Forums, and that you can only select the the current, previous and next pages on the main topic lists of forums. Meaning if you are trying to manually search for a post, you have to go page by page, you can't jump back 3 or 4 pages at a time to get back a few days faster.


These things are REALLY bothering me, and that isn't really a "I just want a reason to complain" thing, these are usuability issues that for some stupid reason changed from the previous version.

The "Reply to a msesage" box doesn't retain themes, either, but I think that's not really something to complain about.

Other than that, I've warmed up to the new look.

Those are the only pop-ups there. I wasn't talking about ad pop-ups. Google toolbar blocks any pop-ups for me just fine.

The popups work fine with the google toolbar.

why?

 

[pyonir]

I'd rather not have an extra window pop up to quote/edit messages.

 

[So]

Thanks to the stylesheets, the forums may well be almost as good as they used to be :beer:

 

[simms]

almost. there's still a long way to go...

 

[KingNothing]

I've already forgotten what the old forums looked like, and the separate reply window is growing on me. If you use a tabbed browser it just appears as another tab.

Thanks! It does look better with the black color scheme!

The forums work fine for me; I'm using the grey color scheme.
