New look for forum.

[Cold Roses]

If you want to clear them all - just go top left of the forum and hover over the Forum menu, then choose mark forums read from the dropdown

Cheers. Very helpful.

Help. I have lost all my PM's. Also I can't find how to send a PM. Used to click on a username and it gave you the option of sending the person a PM. Now it doesn't.

At a quick glance.....I like it. It does seem to be much more suited to my IPad than the
old version. As one very wise old dude said on here "change takes a bit of getting used to". Well done Coby and team.

Same place mate, but they are now referred to as conversations. Let me know if you can't see it and I'll take a screenshot.

Have to agree. The iPad version is growing on me quickly.

So far haven't had a reappearance of those annoying pop up advertisement banners as well which had me close to quitting the forum altogether for a while.

Sorry have to mention the color scheme again there is way too much white. Have to turn brightness down as the white washes out most of the text and borders (It gets worse at longer sessions). Add more dark grey,blue,black,orange, better boxed borders to differentiate different posts and users. The new features are cool and will grow on many over time. Good work overall team

That's on the agenda (color scheme). Cheers!

 

[Rich102]

Do I look fat in this colour ?

Overall I like it. I'm only using it on mobile and while it's a little busy it's an improvement- better fonts, image uploading and the annoying little page number buttons that my fat fingers couldn't deal with seem to have got larger. For a such a big upgrade its going really well so far, well done guys.

 

[Rich102]

And I have my 'unread threads' back in bold.
Yay!
Terrific job.

 

[vvvrulz]

Yeah all the steady improvements coming through are making all the difference.
Getting better by the day.

 

[TheDMC]

yup good work!

 

[vvvrulz]

wasnt having a shot at you..

Didn't think you were mate, and your point was valid

 

[Shaun Hewitt]

I don't like it.
Much prefer the old feel, but that's just one mans opinion

 

[TooheysNew]

That honestly surprises me. What was it about the previous style that you preferred?

 

[Shaun Hewitt]

I guess it was the familiarity
It was what I was used to, and have used for over a decade. To have it changed, doesn't seem right

 

[TooheysNew]

Yep that's totally fair enough. Familiarity with an interface is absolutely understandable.

The old site was fundamentally broken and outdated. This one provides a much better platform to move forward.

 

[Timmah]

A few weeks and it'll be just like a comfy lounge.

 

[RHYTHM AND STEALTH]

Starting to get the feel of it. Thanks again peeps

 

[LeagueNut]

Question - will all threads now continue to show as unread for eternity unless I do the "mark forums as read" thing? I don't think that's how it worked with the old forum?

Edit: Just wanted to add that it's definitely running better and I'm getting used to the new look. Excellent work everyone.
