Forum Upgrades

[Ed130 The Vanguard]

My only issue is the report button.

I know I'm eventually going to hit it accidently instead of the quote button beside it.

Apart form that it looks good.

That's fine. Every post is looked at, so accidentally reported posts will simply be dismissed.

How many 'false positives' do you get anyway? I've already sent one today instead of making a quote.

They are getting worse every time!

Please, Escapist! Please just stop.

This feels like it was designed at the turn of the century.

I cannot hit that toggle fast enough.

Did Ray Charles help or was it Stevie Wonder?

If you would care to voice constructive criticism, that might help us better understand why you don't appreciate the change. But there's no need to be a jerk.

Remember Lisa Foiles? "Constructive Criticism" is a lost art.

OT: I got used to them quickly, and now prefer them for some reason.

Looks good! And I wasn't that into the other site changes initially, so..good work!

Actually, most folks are perfectly capable of explaining what they don't like in a calm and civil way - they're the people we listen to when considering potential changes.

The only issue I have is the colour of the bars between posts. The grey just does't work for me.

I just read six or seven snarky posts before replying to you, coloring my ideas of how people were responding.

Please ignore me.

A lot more than one would expect. We clear them out pretty regularly.

Shiny update is shiny. By the looks of the comments already in this thread I'd say the ability to alter the colour of the post header bit where the username and post time/dates are would be a cool addition but everything is beautiful as it is already so colour options are a secondary thing for me.

What?

Oh, the 'new forum' update?

*Yawn*

Us elite Pub Club members have had it for a while now.

So last week.

Some of us have been test driving it for even longer

You mods and your perks.

Not enjoying the changes Escapist. There was precisely nothing wrong with the former style. Adjusting to the new quote button position is going to be tedious and as mentioned earlier, having the report button a few pixels away is going to bite you in the arse. The whole site now just looks bloated in my opinion. The front page header is also, horribly bloated. Trim the fat people!

I understand I can change a few settings so I'll look into that but there is one thing that is really bugging me.


Please for the love of all that is good and holy CAN YOU PLEASE SORT OUT THE BANNER ADVERTS ON EITHER SIDE OF THE BOARD. THEY ARE EATING UP THE SCREEN AND MAKING BROWSING THREAD PAGES ON BOTH DESKTOP AND MOBILE IMPOSSIBRU!!

Sorry to be obnoxious but I've complained about this problem for around a month with no success or response. If you can't fix it, I'm just going to have to find somewhere else to post because this site is currently BROKEN. Adverts, even the obnoxiously obtrusive ones are bad but when they actually impede my ability to read and use the website, something has gone horribad. It basically chops off the board on the right hand side making the page number and quote buttons disappear. On my mobile, where I do 75% or more of my browsing and posting, this problem actually prevents me from using the site. And this upsets me

Help me escapist staff, you're my only hope.

I can control it!

Think of the good I could do!

 

[manic_depressive13]

I don't like the mustard yellow "new!" notifications on the ends of thread names. I don't think it fits the colour scheme at all. It would be much nicer if it went back to red, or any other colour really.

Please?

Oh, the report button doesn't seemed ideally placed either, but as long as you guys are prepared for an increase of accidental reports I guess that's your decision.

Edit: I just realised my post is terribly negative. I think it looks quite good.

Finally, FINALLY I can read the text across the screen without being all the way zoomed in or out! I weep tears!

 

[SL33TBL1ND]

I don't like the position of the quote button. It makes way more sense to have it below a post, because you've just finished reading it.

 

[Andy of Comix Inc]

I'm not the biggest fan of the new look, but it IS making it load much, much faster for me. So that's a plus, if nothing else. Plus I guess minimalist design is better than anything too cluttered.

My father... was seduced by the Dark Side of the Force, don't to the same! (unless you have a hot twin with a gold bikini)

 

[thespyisdead]

i must say, that the new forum looks great!

 

[Xaio30]

It looks fresh! Though I'd like more bar colours available, if that is possible.
Like escapist blue.

 

[Griffolion]

Nice work with the upgrades! Liking it all so far .
