The Avatars and stuff on the left still waste way too much space - at 1280x1024 I'm getting four posts with 1 to 2 lines of text per monitor page. I feel like I'm trying to burn the wheel off my mouse.

The fonts are still too big!

The color scheem is too bright - it's unplesant to look at. I feel like I need to turn my monitor's brightness level down - but only for this site. There is something about this particular color scheme that is really unplesant.

I tried browsing the forums earlier today, but ended up minimizing them and left them that way for a couple of hours, then closed my browser. Every time I popped the site back up I just wanted to close it.

I like the site better overall, except for the front page. The front page seems to have too much empty grey space on top and right side, so it is not very attractive.

VENDOR SUPPORT FORUMS <- on the front page, I wish this was a hyperlink that sent you to the vendor forums section.

The way the Google Ad Words blend in with the grey background is not very eye pleasing. I think it would be better in a table that was a different color say in a white table for instance.

I've noticed that the mouseovers that should display a drop down on menu sometimes do not work well in Firefox/Mozilla/Phoenix after I refresh the page. Something to look at I suppose.

EvoM Annoucements <- this section title is misspelled. It should say EvoM Announcements. That one missing N throws it all off.

I love the ability to expand and collapse forums in the forum list view.

That's all for now.

I kind of like the new look overall, but I only have dial up and it takes over twice as long to open a page now. I would also like to see a way to get to my user control panel from the home page. That would make things alot easier.

Switch to the WYSIWYG mode for editing (under user options).

Bit of an overreaction, don't you think?

The old forum didn't become good overnight, it was 2 years of work in progress. Sheesh.

There was always a "report post" link in the old setup, so it's not a new feature (except that it's a button instead of a text link).

The data is coming faster and more reliably; the new version requires more CPU time to render. If you have a fast computer the site will seem faster, if you have a slow computer it won't. The big difference is that you won't get "server busy" errors all the time.

Exclamation

HOw about some themese people can select in their profiles. Having the date a post is made on the right is a pain to see when people have large pictures which stretch things out. Post number and date should be on the left.

Also the site seems much slower from multiple locations..

Boxing each post instead of the whole thread with one line between posts takes too much space. Prefer a much cleaner concise format to people to get through threads with less scrolling, clicking, waiting, searching.

Also need a one click way to subscribe to a thread, this go through a drop down then to another window is a pain.. It's nice functionality for those who like to sort or organize or whatever, but.. a one click quick subscribe like before is needed as well..

We have always had that button. It's quite valuable and the Mods love it when members alert us to problems...sometimes before we catch it outselves.
