New Look MSE Forum

Also surely can't help that some of the code points to non-existent/broke images.

Is there anyway the bug regarding the reply to thread box can be fixed? Its still hanging over the edge on the right into news articles etc. Its fine on threads that have been streched due to pictures being posted but 'normal' threads the last line of smilies and the editor mode button is missing. This means adding html/img links is impossible unless you use the quick reply box then copy them to here.

Thanks :A

Another good reason for reverting to the old style, as this doesn't happen on it.

Just noticed a typo but as I am not very technical I will have to describe it my way.
After clicking on Today's Posts and then The Money Savers Arms, the next page heading is The The Money Savers Arms Board.

The thanks, quote and abuse buttons are far too large. Its like its designed for children or something. Please make them smaller and a less obtrusive colour.

I like the rest of the look though

I've just switched back to the original skin.

I haven't got the time to relearn MSE.

Unfortunately some website redesigns aren't always an improvement and can be a a disaster eg. Ebay.

They forget the basics, that people basically are looking at a page of text and continually adding fancy features & graphics that slow the website down.

Quite right some do - but I hope you're not referring to my team. Not liking the change is one thing, but critising the MSE staff isn't fair.

In fact we worked knowing exactly what our site does. We put it to extensive testing with users where over 4 in 5 saw it as an improvment. We noted their feedback and made alterations with that in mind.

Then we launched it and 97% of logged in users have stuck with it.

The design is there to modernise the site and make it easier to read -yes we accept some dont like change, but here it is necessary.

However I am happy to offer you a full refund of every penny you've paid to use the site

Kind regards

Martin

No the old site is awful, to blocky, to old and harder on the eyes. I love the new site but would love it more if this bug was fixed :rotfl:

Another tiny niggle is with the 'Forum Jump.' I'd got so used to clicking on the forum I wanted and going straight there. Now it doesn't change until you click on the 'Go' button.
Can't tell you the number of times I've sat here waiting for the forum to change when I've only highlighted it and forgotten to click on Go.

Yes, this is a pain, hopefully it's just something that's been overlooked, I can't see that it would be changed from one click to two deliberately.

Originally there was no go button - but users requested one was added back so we could browse.
