However, who do I have to sleep with to get a young, bald, white guy icon. Not all bald people are old or darkly pigmented.:roll:

Obviously you have to sleep with a young, bald white guy. Get cracking!

Every upgrade to the forums they've made since I signed up, to me has become worse and worse.


And this is by far the worst!!

Been looking around for a little while now, and so far I find it really annoying............

WTF is with the damn beige bar between posts?? And the damn "Report this to a moderator" thing too! I guess that I can sleep better at night knowing that if someone says something offensive on AT, I am never further than 2 tenths of a second away from alerting a moderator.

Oh well, it is a change, and I'll try to get used to it!

Kinda slow, don't like the colors, I think I liked the old one better. I guess it will take me a while to get used to it.

It looks to me like a lot of time and creative energy went into it.
Nice soothing colors, and streamlined layout with intricate detail.
I am actually quite impressed with the genius of the whole thing.

Now, where do I pick up my brownie points at?

Much, much, much, much, much, much, much, much, much, much worse than the old software.

It would look a lot better if the tan/brown color was replaced by something cleaner... like white or light gray.

Try one of the other color schemes (click the "Personal Settings" tab in Profile). I like the gray color scheme best. I still HATE the new software, though . . .

Horrible.

oh well, stuff always has to be changed from what I like.

I like to think, why fix if it works fine? but evidently someone wanted it changed for whatever reason (maybe there was one given, i don't know)

but i loved it the way it was.. this sucks so far.

Oh boy... Sure there are a few bugs here and there, which im sure will get fixxed quickly. Some of the other 'Freatures' are pretty annoying though. The most profound is the wasted space, and the extremely small font.

Have to say I'm with everyone else, I like the old one...

Historically do the board owners take input from users after a change such as this? I mean if they can't allow a 'sort posts by date' rather than bump, how can you keep up with newly posted stuff in FS/FT, Off Topic, etc.?

It kinda pisses me off that the New Topic/Search/etc buttons up top are no longer openable in a new window (unless I'm totally missing it somehow) - I always opened those in new windows. Otherwise, everything may take a lil while to get used to but it's nice. I played with the beta when it first got setup.
