I do not like the new forums
 

Just wanted to say it.

Way to compact, feels stuffed and uncomfortable.

Put that in your pipe and smoke it FM

Hehe, it's just like 2006 all over again....

Ed: When we changed from wwwThreads to vBulletin 3

well the posting vids option may be nice,
but i guess its a learn to like it thing.

Atm i´m missing the old forums http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...ilies/sad1.gif

As with previous years, I'm with Golem. The video feature is the one that I've really missed in the past, everything else doesn't yet feel like an improvement. It looks cluttered, colour schemes are uglier than before, gonna take some time to get used to this.

Madonion Retro Blue is lovely! http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...lies/wink1.gif Brings back memories of "The Puddle"

I think the threads look a lot better once posted, but the thread creation (black title box) and everything else is indeed a bit cluttered

Normal MadOnion theme (the one with purple polka dot background) seems okay for now, lol @ the Christmas smilies missing. :/

I was on the MadOnion scheme for months, probably longer. It looked better than what we've got now. Some stuff looks nice (thread lists, posts), some stuff looks horrible (chatbox), some stuff looks bad (post creation). It's a mixed bag at the moment. However, I'm already starting to get used to it though, which is surprisingly quick! http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...ies/laugh1.gif

...and its no where near finished yet. It will get better....it was either put it live in this workable state, or no forums for longer....we thought the former was the better idea [yes]

That's what I thought, already. Good to know! [yes]

I have no qualms helping test it out, thanks for pushing it out asap.

I´d be happy if you just make my experience a great one,
**** everyone else http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...ies/laugh1.gif

This is the same for several large sites I know of, but I can't understand why you haven't used a staging server to get it right.

http://stagingdomain.futuremark.com - duplicate the db, duplicate the cms / forum install and then perfect it on that.

I like it except for that the main pages look a bit cluttered making them hard to read. The previous ones were pretty concise. However, I suspect you will fix it with time.

One thing I can't seem to find is a button similar to the user control panel (used to be on the top left) which showed me only posts that I have replied to if there were new replies.

It also showed any infractions underneath it.

Thanks to you and the team for getting this live as fast as you did, looking forward to seeing the final result. http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...lies/cool1.gif

Are you talking about this? This can now be found under Quick Links>Subscribed Threads at the top of the boards.

Thanks that's the one, just found it before you posted http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...ies/blush1.gif

Would be great though if it was moved out of Quick Links and added to the rest of the bar for even quicker access like the old design had.

using notebook icon in a benchmark forum, what the hell

Its an updated picture of the original notebook icon.....amazing how people pick out the things that were pretty much the same as before http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...ies/laugh1.gif I can see why, as it looks completely different, but it still makes me chuckle (no offence intended)
