It's Back!

It is totally crap. Looks horrible, incredibly slow, awkward search-bar follows me around like it's stalking me, just to log in I needed to attempt to reply to a topic, Community Discussion is frustrating to reach with anything but the URL bar, I can no longer scroll through all of the categories on the board to look at, for example, all modding boards or fanfic board, loads of wastes space, the list goes on.

Seriously, what the hell was the point of this? The FaceBook tie-ins are totally unnecessary, as most casual forumers (the sort who would use such a tool) don't want all their friends to know that they are a closet nerd. And the moderating system worked fine as it was, in my opinion.

Anybody figure out how to get rid of le Search bar in the middle of the screen? I've been looking through controls to no avail.

is your browser window not full size, or minimized to some degree. For me, the search box reverts back to the fixed menu bar when I put the browser on full screen. :(

We were discussing how much moaning and complaining there would be, and from who. We have been right so far. :D

I like the new scheme it is much easier for me to read - plus I know where the warn and ban buttons are so I am a happy bear. :P


Oh please, we all know you can warn and ban by simply by thinking it. :P

:whisper: They're listed alphabetically.


Ah. It's always the simplest solution isn't it. :embarrass:

They're in alphabetical order, which makes sense since they are mainly game series, and not really subject to being ordered chronologically.




I will now say something positive.

I actually like the fact that they added a better member profile page. Not something that I'll use all that often, but sometimes it's nice to know a little more about fellow members.

Ugh, could you make it so you can switch back to the other theme, please?

I guess it isn't that bad. I just hate change. It overcomplicates so much though...

Change it to fit widescreens and I will be fine.

Bethesda does not have enough games that they need to list things alphabetically.

I cannot see any reason why anyone would implement a new design for a forum with the following features:
(I am aware that the numbers given may vary with different monitor sizes and resolutions)
- > view up to TWO topics with new posts without scrolling (+ eight sticky ones, at least in the Oblivion Mods forum)
- > view up to TWO to THREE posts in a topic without scrolling
- > leavve two thirds of the screen EMPTY. Forums are not about information anyway, are they?

The number of bad-sighted senior citizens using this forum can't be high enough to make such a drastic change necessary.
Or is it?

I'll give it some time before I call it slow, since it's saying that there are the most ever online. Unless that was reset. Then it is slow as molasses.

Nah, this is just for the new forum.

The profile options are better. With the ability to set a status and see who is stalking you :P

Well, there is a lot of complaining from a lot of people (myself included) but the consensus still seems to be that it svcks... :P

I noticed that there's a new spoiler system

Spoiler
See


It's not horrendous, but the black on gray with only people's avatars adding a bit of color really bothers my eyes.

It'll take some getting used to and familiarizing myself with where all the buttons are, but I don't see any major problems with it so far.

I like it, but I liked the old Layout better.

It'll take some getting used to though.

I kinda like the new look, looks more modern and "clean" however topics are annoying to find because of the layout, I dont see a problem with the bar either.
As for the now wanting friends to know I agree (only reason I am not buting DAO shirt because it has bioware in red letters on the back) so facebook is useless.

Is there a reason the borders take up more of the page than the part we want to read? The Fanfics look like H now, and are impossible to read. At least have them widen the table so the whole reason we are on the forum is maximized and the plain brown borders are minimized. PLEASE

I wish it was wider, but besides for that, I don't have much to complain about.

Yeah. Wider, kill the search bar. Bar from that, I guess it's a question of getting used to it. The wider thing is really to be fixed. I got a tiny ass screen, and still got extremely unseemly and oddly uneven grey margins. Don't like much that grey either, it's really weird with the black.

Mostly, like 99,99999% of the people here, I'm like someone whose appartement has been redecored overnight. Major freak out over coffee. And looking everywhere for cups. And headache pills for the ocular migraine.

I said that out loud ?

On my old(ish) laptop now, which means I'm restricted to 1024x768. http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e266/Celauran/Screenshot.png is how the search bar looks. I suspect it's similar for anyone on a netbook. It will definitely take some getting used to. Or some custom CSS.

So what's up with the stars? Mine have multiplied by like six, but that doesn't seem to have happened to other people - do archpatriarchs have like 40 stars now?

Nice but very slow in comparison.

Is there a tuning option for the graphics?
