Don't like the new look of the Forum

Sorry but this new layout looks like it was designed by a 2 year old

My two year old has just got to grips with counting to 10 - Think website design & programming is beyond her at the moment. Damn it! Must have missed the 'Website Development for Toddlers' book at the Early Learning Centre. Another slap on the wrist for me for being a totally crap parent!
 
I use a signum forum which is the same as the old wildcamp and I have just been on it :p
I still prefer it than this but eh oh we have got what we have got...............

also having a degree in anything does not make you the best only proves you can learn:eek::eek:
 
Well I think it's fine.

I know just how much work Phil has done to change things over.

Thanks for your hard work Phil :D
 
I few things I miss:
Miss all the useful info that was displayed on the home page. Like "who is online" how many members/ how many guests etc. I know it is at the bottom of the page and on the "quick links" but how useful is that:confused:

The Home button does not work to get back to the list of posts in date order ( I used this all the time before:mad:. Pressing "new posts" does not do the same thing, it won't show the posts you just replied to.

There is some confusion with the "whats new" and "new posts" do we need two buttons:confused: Also there is space for a lot more buttons on that bar.

The slicker look is so the advertising has more focus (a vbulletin thing)

Bit of a shock! thought the forum had been kidnapped, or taken over by the coalition!. Liked the old version, but i'll get used to it, its quite slick. Well done Phil!!
 
In a weeks time you will have forgotten what the old format looked like and get used to this one.

Great stuff, well done Phil:)

new posts link

is it missing or is it to be added soon as i cannot find it, was a very handy option.
 
It is at the top left of the page in the dark blue band under FORUMS.

now found it had to click whats new to be able to view the bar that has these options.
but new posts brings up umpteen pages not new posts from last visit.

also a new post i sent earlier fails to appear is there a lag for new posts appearing.

must say i did like the older set up much better, not liking this one at all, is it temp to see how it goes.
 
it's a thumbs up from me!
Well done Phil, keep up the great work.
 
as i've not been a full member very long i was still getting used to my new facilities as a full member .... i personally think that phil is doing a brill job in keeping the site going as well as changing things as he goes along ... he could have just closed the site and started from scratch
i don't really like change but it has to happen .. like everyone else i am trying to re-organise my brain (cell) to fit with the new design ... don't think the smilies are as good as the previous programme but i bet there are things i haven't yet noticed that will be better than previous

I for one phil are with you ..especially as the arcade is back hehe

oh one question .. are we having the blogs back :D
 
Change is a bit difficult for some to handle but eventually when the last manufacturer of button-up shoes goes broke, there is no choice but to learn how to tie shoelaces.

Takes a while but most can soon do it with their eyes closed.


Forums are a bit the same. This format will grow on you and soon the old one will seem old-fashioned and cluttered. Anyway, it's the messages that matter, not the format.
 
Changes

Keep up the good work,Phil.As an old fart I find keeping up with changes keeps my
old brain working,not vegetating.Onwards and upwards!!!!;);)
 
I like the clean, open design. The only issue I have is that I find the text harder to read...it's me old eyes playin up. I've upped a zoom level though and that helps.

Thanks for burning the midnight oil on our behalf, Phil!

Now I think the text is easyer to read?

It will be like the BBC news website, didn't like at first by after a few weeks I can't remember what the old looked like.

Thankyou Phil.
 
I must be a thick Taffy :eek: Cos I can't see the king's new clothes.

I'm as patient as the next guy and don't mind waiting for new improved features, but can we have simple basic navigation working first please.

Please fix the home button (little house icon) to give a list of posts in chronological order like it did before.

On the navigation bar it says "home" "forums" "whats new?" if you click whats new, you will get a list of the new posts in chronological order.
