» Fri May 27, 2011 4:31 pm

After what seems like forever, the forum is back online with a brand new layout. What does everyone think of it?

Just had a quick look around and it looks neat.

Really good work.

It's growing on me as I use it... but I still want it wider...

Oh god...8 pages and then hitting post limit...yeah...that really is a mind[censored] isnt it?

» Fri May 27, 2011 7:09 pm

Is it me? or this site is very laggy and some pages/threads take lots of time to load?

» Fri May 27, 2011 7:21 am

Anyone else think that they should increase post limits for threads now?

Yep, that'll take a while to get used to...

I'm indifferent, doesn't really bother me unless I don't get my tan theme back. This not tan BGSF is throwing me for a loop.

Things are very slow.

I hate the thing. The log in button on IE is hidden behind the top banner, when I do manage to log on it takes several minutes. The layout is horrible and I can barely make my way around it.

This will definately effect my activity on this forum. I am now very discouraged to ever go on this site.

I dont see what all the complaining is about. Besides a bit o' slowness it seems fresh. Maybe somewhere down the line we will get themes but I like the B&W look and used the gray one on the old forums so its not much of a change for me. I do like the quick reply setup now. Its much smoother. Don't be afraid of change, once you get acclimated to it you wil forget about the old way. Change is sometimes a good thing

:huh: Huh?

It shows 6 pages for me. You people know that you can change that at your profile settings? (like I said at earlier thread)

I never thought I would go through withdrawl because of no Bethesda Forums. It seems ok, I like the old ones better for now. I am just too use to it after all these years. Yes I know, change is good, so I just need to get use to it.

So far it's a bit slower, wich is annoying a bit.

Is it just me or is this version much slower than the old one? It's taking about twice as long to load a page. I'll take simple and quick over advanced and slow any day :shifty:

The site was down for eight and a half months, so people need to get their fix. Once the number of simultaneous users reverts to normal, I expect we'll see a performance increase.

It's much slower - perhaps that can be tweaked. Don't like the new layout - it was more convenient before to have an overview of different forums. Also, need to be able to change themes/skins - looks awful now (although that's subjective of course). One thing I hoped for was better implemented flood control, but it's even worse than before. If you searched and didn't get any hits you could start a new search immediately - now you'll have to wait 60 seconds for that as well...

I had hoped for a better search function (haven't been able to try it out so much because of flood control), less annoying flood control - and no purging of old threads.

Oh well.

I started now with only 197 posts compared to +1650 before!

Change can be nice,the star system is meh now though.

» Fri May 27, 2011 8:03 pm

One of the main things I don't like is the fact I have a large amount of grey everywhere. It would be nicer if it scaled to my screen size a bit better. It would also reduce the amount of scrolling I would have to do.

Oh, and I have waaay to many stars under my name. It would be nicer if they went back to one star a rank.

» Fri May 27, 2011 1:22 pm

This is trippy. I must say that I did prefer the simpleness of the old layout.

Also, No Wayne Gretzky Hockey 4?

WHY IS TYPING THIS OUT LIKE PLAYING CRYSIS ON MAX SETTINGS FOR MY COMPUTER?

Why am I lagging so much?

» Fri May 27, 2011 7:29 am

Just a heads up, anyone finding the site really slow should use NoScript, I just blocked scripts from Zenimax and Bethesda, and now it works like a charm.

The speed will increase, IT are still sorting things.

There are reasons for still keeping the post count at 200 - http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/724862-forum-rules-and-general-information/page__p__10470780&#entry10470780

» Fri May 27, 2011 1:16 pm

Yep, that'll take a while to get used to...

You can change it to 20 like before.

Stop using IE. Problem solved!

Overall, I like the new layout. It looks a lot like the layout of the http://www.tesalliance.org/ forums. I don't like the fact that it doesn't use the full screen. The emoticons seem a bit crowded in the reply box (http://img25.imageshack.us/img25/6845/bsgforumlayout.jpg). I also don't like the way links no longer open a separate browser window. Other than that, I like it.
