AngelMarvel Posted April 2, 2014 Report Share Posted April 2, 2014 Looks pretty cool to me. But, I just got back in...been trying for a day or two.Just noticed the animation in the avatar doesn\'t work. My butterfly is actually animated. jerome1232 and Dravin 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iggy Posted April 2, 2014 Report Share Posted April 2, 2014 Where is the New Topic button? I hate going through the forum headings one at a time - ugh.Where is/are the: emoticons & fonts & text size - colorPS- those warning posts are from 3 years ago - even after upgrading and *perfecting* this forum, they still can\'t get rid of that!!

Guest LiterateParakeet Posted April 2, 2014 Report Share Posted April 2, 2014 I like the front page. I didn\'t realize before all the other stuff here. So that is cool. But I miss the \"new posts\" button. I don\'t want to have to click on each forum, or check dates...or even look for forums that are highlighted because they have new posts. I want to have one list of new posts and glance down it and see what interests me (maybe all of them, maybe only a few.) It\'s a shame there are no \"thanks\" buttons. Sometimes you just want to say things. It\'s kind of bothersome to have a thread full of responses that are just \"Thanks Wiseone, loved your post.\" The buttons allow you to thank someone without cluttering the thread.

Wingnut Posted April 2, 2014 Report Share Posted April 2, 2014 LP, I don\'t think all the other stuff was there before. That was part of the purpose of the system overhaul -- to add way more features to the site! I agree, though...I\'d like a \"new posts\" or \"see more\" function.

Windseeker Posted April 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2014 It\'s going to take some time getting used to. At first it appears to be a little too sanitized. Hope to see emoticons and means to add pictures to our posts. HTML tags are not working for me. ps. It\'s also adding a backslash prior to apostrophes and quotes.

Guest Posted April 2, 2014 Report Share Posted April 2, 2014 There\'s a little window in the upper right of the main forum page that shows most recent posts, but that\'s the closest I see to the button we miss so much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mnn727 Posted April 2, 2014 Report Share Posted April 2, 2014 Too much garbage (colors, boxes,etc) on the forum pages, too much white space on each post, both distract from the purpose of the forum.I see a change theme button but it does not appear to do anything.

Jenamarie Posted April 3, 2014 Report Share Posted April 3, 2014 The \"pinned\" posts at the top of each forum take up a lot of space, too. For example, when I came into this forum (General Discussion) I had to scroll down a bit before I actually saw any active topics.

Wingnut Posted April 3, 2014 Report Share Posted April 3, 2014 I don\'t mind the colorful graphic look of the site (I like it, actually...the old one was out of date, whereas this looks quite modern), but I otherwise agree with Jenamarie and Mnn. There\'s too much negative space, quotes within posts aren\'t obvious enough, and the forum lists are spaced too far apart. applepansy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenamarie Posted April 3, 2014 Report Share Posted April 3, 2014 I\'ll say I do like the new feel of the board. I don\'t hate it at all, just hope that some things are fixed or adjusted soon. Thank you to those of you who are working on implementing the change! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notquiteperfect Posted April 3, 2014 Report Share Posted April 3, 2014 Agree with the others about \'new posts\' being easier to see/get to. Also, I liked the personal info with the old format that showed religion, etc. Sometimes it makes a difference in understanding where someone is coming from.

applepansy Posted April 3, 2014 Report Share Posted April 3, 2014 I am having difficulty reading anything. I didn\'t have that problem before. If I change the settings to bigger then other sites I visit are big too and don\'t fit on the page. Irritating. mnn727 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pam Posted April 3, 2014 Report Share Posted April 3, 2014 Keep your comments coming. Also keep in mind things like emoticons, thanks buttons etc were add ons with the old site. Hopefully they are coming. But we wanted to get the site up and running and then work on some of the other things. applepansy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I change the settings to bigger then other sites I visit are big too and don\\\'t fit on the page. Irritating.I think it\'s because they have used a different font. I find it more difficult as well. The Times New Roman that we see right now is too busy. We need a simple sans serif font that has less going on. :) applepansy and mnn727 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But we wanted to get the site up and running and then work on some of the other things.Well, I wanted to \"like\" this post, but I\'ve apparently been too nice already today, because I\'ve reached my quota of positive posts for the day.In the quoting area, not only is there currently no multi-quote function right now, but when we do quote, there\'s no reference to who we are quoting, which I can see leading to a lot of confusion. mnn727 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
