    Default New Format

    Sorry to be negative but this new format lacks clarity. The previous set up was a lot easier to follow. It had big bold blue headings.

    I liked the old one! I hate having to come to terms with learning to navigate my way round again. Why do people have to change things, when they seem to be working perfectly well!

    Ahh Colin, the way of the world mate.

    I think if they reduced the size of those ICONS on the left side of each Threads main title and made the Font bigger and Bold in the thread title it would bring back the perspective.

    I am finding it difficult to read the each threads Title.

    The other thing which should also be looked at is the Guest Access, I dont like it. I feel there are "some" potential users out there whom can play against you with what information that gets posted.. Call me paranoid, but I have already lost enough to justify paranoia.

    LOL,

    Old dogs eh?

    Good on ya Vicky. The place needed a face lift. Navagation hasnt changed but I do now have to put sunglasses on before logging on. The glare off my screen had the neigbours banging on the door asking if there was a fire.

    Font might be a tad small for a few of the old dogs too.

    Everybody is rightfully entitled to their opinion there Cannibal and that includes you I guess. Question, what in the xx is a Luddites?

    ==========================

    Still quite a few hops form the Land of Oz, I think Dallas was not that many previously but had higher pings.

    Now have you guys got Zend Optimizer switched on, there is something still lagging, the site is becoming faster than previous when it was in hosted in "The Planet", but something is still up, this should be faster comparably from the move.

    Back to the design, I guess its something we need to get used to, but all forums should have SKINS so the user can choose his/her theme, be it dark, darker, light, ligher, Bright, Grey, White.

    On that note, some Font/Icon balance would be much appreciated and thanks making the move, but get your Zend checked out will ya.

    Cheers~!

    Default Get Over It

    Its obvious that some users of this site do not like change. There were a few problems that admin have addressed and as a result we now have a new fresher looking website. A big thumbs up from me.

    Thank you for giving me permission to have an opinion. ;-)
