the new board look

[iri9109]

"hated it!"

 

[NikkiGirl]

I do not like this new format, nothing was old with the old one.

 

[vainღ♥♡jane]

this is kinda hard to read. its so hospital white lol. i had to up my view % to 120% and that helps a bit.

btw, anyone know how i can check my thanks? ♥

 

[Hairsofab]

Does anyone else notice that the forum only takes up about half of the browser window? I only use Google Chrome as my internet browser. There is like 50% of the screen that is just blank grey space and the actual forum is scrunched in the other 50%.

 

[Hairsofab]

I took a screencap of the way the forum looks in my browser.

 

[Junebug D]

Siggy pics look messy in this format. I hope this isn't the final look. Please go back to tweaking!

 

[LeftRightRepeat]

eta: never mind..i found it

 

[vainღ♥♡jane]

yal, to make the forum and font bigger, increase your screen from 100% to 120 or 130%. you can do this using the plus key on your number pad, or clicking in the bottom right hand corner of your browser. hope this helps. ♥

~The forum needs to be centered and size bumped up to 120-150%.
~The "posts started" button works, but the "all posts" one only brings up posts from 2007 and earlier.
~I like the position of the "New Posts" button.
~If one can bring up "My Profile" by just clicking their name at the top, then one of those buttons needs to go. It is confusing to people looking to alter their profiles.
~The background is too pale.

background is too bright and it hurts my eyes. the layout will take some getting use to, that's if i can endure the brightness of the forum. i have my screen dimmed as far as it can go and it's still bright.

How do we search on this new board. I tried doing a search in the hair forum using a very common word and it came back with zero hits.

I don't think it works.

 

[nikolite]

I don't like this at all. Its too scant and each box is indistinguishable. Def too sterile. I hope there are more changes to come.

First of all, Thanks Nikos, for all the work you put into this update.
I know it wasn't just about aesthetics, but mostly for security reasons. I think I'll get used to the new color scheme and layout (eventually) but I have two pet peeves:

1) I'd like the "thanks" button back on the right hand side

and, most importantly

2) TAKE THE ADVERTISEMENTS OUT OF THE ACTUAL THREADS! I find this very irritating, besides, we already see the ads on the main forum page, but this seems intrusive (plus it's one of the features of the "Naturally curly" site that I find most annoying. I really don't want it here)

Rant over.

Ladies who are having trouble seeing the font. Have you zoomed in on your browser? I have Firefox and I zoomed in twice and it looks so much better.

My eyes were burning and I had to put on my glasses (which are only +1.75 in one lens I have 1 bad eye lol) they still didn't help though until I zoomed in.

 

[Mystic]

Is the upgrade done?? I thought it is a work in progress. It can't be done, lol.

Whew! Thank you so much, that advice made the forum fill the whole screen and i can actually see it now

 

[Maracujá]

Where do I find the threads I was subscribed to?

 

[Lenee925]

Blah I gotta log off because the white is annoying! Sorry!

 

[bgsix]

Is there any way to change the skin like we use to?

Thank you, that actually helped a whole lot with seeing the fonts!

 

[IDareT'sHair]

I don't particulary care for the "New Look" Couldn't you do what you needed to do Security-wise, without changing the entire Footprint? I don't like it at all.

And alot of people are complaining that it is too bright and harsh on the eyes. I have personally found myself stepping away from it.

It's just not that appealing.

 

[FemmeFatale]

I agree with everyone. I hate it.

 

[Blessed2bless]

I can't stay on for to long it really bad on my eyes(( The colors are to light/bright... Is there a way to change the color scheme?

 

[carolinetwin]

DONT LIKE IT

 

[Shay72]

do you guys know how to change the subscriptions to only show what's recent and not all the threads I have ever subscribed to?

Thanks

Click on "settings" and it looks just like the old "User CP". You will see only your subscribed threads with new posts.

booooo *thumbs down*

 

[MissMasala5]

I don't know if it's only me, but the board takes up only half the space on my monitor screen. Now I have the forum on the left and nothing but gray space on the right. Is it the same for everyone else?

I also have a lot of space on the right. Using 15" MacBook Pro. I also couldn't make out the forum page on my iPhone. Fonts came out too light.

That helped, thanks.

I know it must be hard trying to please everyone, but I just don't like this. Probably won't be on the forum too much anymore. Is anyone noticing that it takes longer to 'quick reply' or 'reply to thread'?
