Old thread: 2012 Forum redesign

_Andy_

Please sack whoever is responsible for the recent 'design' initiatives, they're lame. Is it some kind of apprentice doing it?

Rummer

Please can we have the users name on the bottom bit when they are thanked as it makes it easier to remember who you are responding to.

One major issue for me.
While the increased font-size in the 'quote' box is not an issue for reading short posts, for longer posts, as are common in many forums that need read in detail to snip out the relevant parts, it's a major problem.

can you not run a voting poll on whether people would like it to change or stay the same?

I really would like to see which threads I have posted in- can we have that arrow back please?

The indicator of threads where you have posted has gone.

When searching for previous posts, can the search results not take you directly to the post rather than the thread, which may be thousands of posts to trawl through?

How exactly do you get rid of the new look?

I had the stretchy look, viewed the new fixed width look (which is equally as bad as old fixed width), then tried to change back.

The provided link doesn't work - new tab or not. I just go back to the new look each time.

If you go to 'User CP' (Green bar above). Then 'edit options' ..... you will probably find, as I did, that it's already set to the 'skin' you want. So you have to change / save that. Then go back to the original you had and save it again.

Bingo - back to the 'new look' but with a sensible stretched width.

Oh no i much prefer the names on the side, makes the threads even longer to scroll though!

To bright on the right feeling it is unbalanced as the left is so empty!

Also the banner is too crazy circus coloured. Trying to use this sneakily at work is really difficult, wish we could get a grey scale only option for using at work!
