This is unfortunate!

I cant think of much more to say, awful pretty much sums it up.

i take it you are referencing the forum software change ?
yeah ... it does have some "character defects" .
one thing i noticed is the listing of comp brands ... razer comes before panasonic ... so much for alphabetical .
ehhh ... give 'em some time .
now i'll sign my name to this *loving appraisal* and put it in my hip pocket .


ps ... the smileys are limited .

 

Would be nice if the threads I visited weren't missing the last 2 weeks of posts, too. Hope this gets fixed soon.

 

So far..it is EXACTLY as predicted......

My eyes hurt..

Off to look for settings to change and adblock elements like the huge column on the right...

 

I eliminated the column on the right...Adblock elements...
I changed style to VB 3.x on my settings page

Those two changes improve things dramatically

 

So where did you find your settings page?

Edit: I didn't find the settings page but you can change the style by clicking on the text in the blue bar at the bottom of the screen

 

Just click on your name on the top toolbar

 

So I get 1237 "Reputations" for posting that I don't like the new forum. Reminds me of people trying to "dumb down" something... I think I am done here.

If anyone wants me... You have my email or PM.

 

The style seems to be saved locally as a cookie. I set it to vb 3.x at home and it looked ok.
Came to work and although in settings it said vb 3.x, it was displaying the awful default. I reset it to vb 3.x on this the work pc and it changed to the easy to read format.

 

I seem to have been awarded 6 "trophies" for getting out of bed this morning!

VB4 style seems to work better for me.

Edit: Holy... my avatar icon has been resized.

 

This new forum is ok too
VB.3 style is fine.
In 1 week everyone will love this new forum view and hate old one )

 

Shawn...is this what you use https://adblockplus.org/

 

Tried to tweak my avatar with a transparency layer. Apparently this board doesn't like transparencies.

 

Look, my tractor's diesel has been repaired!

 

All fixed now...

 

How about that log in screen; dark grey characters on a black background. Brilliant! What an improvement!
I hope this change-over makes a lot more money for the sites owners because it sure doesn't seem to do anything positive for us users.

 

Adblock plus blocking 18 ads and I still see 5/8 of a page due to the thing over there. ->

edit now 23

Bye.

 

Blair ,
yes that's it...You need to install Adblock elements separately,,,

 

I see ZERO ads.....

Forum tinkering.

Using Opera 12.16 (released july 4, 2013, mind ...), but suppose Mozilla/Chromium's have some extensions that permit the same trick.

 

Bear with us guys while we get this running. There are a couple of additional themes/styles in the works that can hopefully make it a little easier for you all to use. Thanks.

See here if you want to make it look more like vBulletin (pretty close, actually ):

hmmm ...
this style of numbers : 6036268941780578 .
is hard to "follow" .

the style of "nothing below the line" is much easier on the eyes .
(i can't remember what this style is called)

 

Screen shot of how I have it configured.....It's not that bad..

 

how does one clear the "alerts" panel ?

 

Well first what you need to do is go to your Alert Preferences and set what you want to get.

 

okefenokee ... thanks for the info .

 

Eh, it's not so bad.
