New Look Forum - Hope you like it (you can change back if not)

buggalugs

I don't mind the new look, though I never had a problem with the old one lol However I find it is way too slow. Threads are taking an age to open Quite sad about that. I hope things pick up soon, otherwise I shall feel the need to switch back. Sorry Guys, I know you have worked hard on it.

Not immediately liking it, but will see if I get used to it.

I'll give it a chance. It's all a bit weird at the moment - but I could grow to like it.

Sorry but I don't really like it - it hurts my eyes, I'm sure I'll get used to it though

also, because the spam button is at the top of the thread does that mean if you click on it the whole thread will be classed as spam and not just a single post like before?
if not how will you determine that the single post is spam?

? Its always been like that? Though I think there may have been a SPAM button at the top and bottom. The SPAM button always referred to a whole thread, you need to use the abuse button to report one post of SPAM on a thread.

I tried it during the test phase but ended up switching back. I'll give it a go for a couple of days before deciding whether to stick with it this time. Still think some of the buttons and the on/off light are too large.

I'm with the "If it aint broke don't fix it" camp. I don't get the "It's more modern" comment. It was fine as it was.

Very slow, making me think "Blow this, I'm off to do something else".

Why do the Thanks, Quote, etc buttons have to be so big? In fact everything is so big, you can only see a couple of replies and it's going to be a pain to keep moving up and down the page to see more of the thread.

When you click Reply the smilies that are showing are squashed in the third column up against the side bar.

I used to use the "open in new tab" option for looking at links, great for checking something out but still keeping the original page. Can't understand why that has disapppeared.

I'm sure I'll be changing back to the old view.

I am in the "too bright" camp. Such bright colors are normal for a nursery, not for a primary school, let alone a secondary one. I thought the majority here were adults with very few children younger than 6.

Unbelievably slow!!!

And whose idea it was to use symbol for the Stickies? The conventional meaning of this symbol everywhere except MSE is 'quotation', not a sticky.

The new button looks like a rain forecast or like crying rather than the quotation marks.

And see what happens with the smilies on the right side when you compose a reply in a narrow window. It is very unprofessional to presume that everyone has a big screen and likes working in maximized windows!

just to echo very slow!

Ok managed finally to change back to the old design but now it keeps changing me back to the new one if you could look at this bug please

I was going to write almost exactly that (particularly the "IIABDFI" part)!

I've changed back.
