This posting box stretches in Mozilla Firefox, I can't see half the emoticons.

Secondly, all the newest posts on the main page are now below the fold. People come on here for a primary reason, which is a discussion forums, now I have to scroll to get down and see which ones are recently active. Before, it loaded up right on the top of the page and I could see what was going on at a glance. Boo.

Thirdly, as mentioned before, I don't know if the stylesheets have been adjusted yet, but all posts now take up so much more room, threads that were 2 pages long before now extend to 3, etc. etc.

Just my $0.02

 

the homepage is not very organized. to be frank, it looks like all the parts were stuffed in my nose, then i sneezed it onto the screen. i think lining things up would alleviate the "scattered" look.

 

Click on the "Quick Links" Pulldown at the top of the page. Mark All Forums Read is in there, along with most of the control panel options.

 

i think the smartest thing to do right now is to revert to the old site.. please excuse me for being blunt, but this new site just sucks, reall really sucks. the old site was great.. easy to use forum that i loved coming to daily. i dont see myself comming here too much at all in the future if it stays like this.

 

I'm on my fast work connection. The data comes from the server much quicker, but due to the new interface, page drawing takes considerably longer. 2 steps forward, 1 step back.

 

I'll shuffle some stuff around. The new forum layout it clunky, so hopefully some people will release a few scaled down styles that I can work off of. I really just changed the colors to get things up and running. I'm sure there's a way to get things to look more like the old site.

A lot of the site is still work in progress so things will be getting fixed as I go along. The forum upgrade took a while so I didn't want to waste time just browsing myself.

The Vendor forums, etc will all get their looks back in a bit. I'm just a bit groggy right now because I spent the whole night getting the new setup semi-working... not much left of my brain right now.

You can find PM's under Quick Links on the "sub-bar":

I like how it's been reorganized by date!

 

Yeah, same question as someone above asked...How do you check PM's??????????...and where is it even at on the homepage..this site just got all clogged up and unorganized.
Hopefully it gets better soon

I'm not sure if you guys are seeing something different than I am - but there is a Private Messages link in the top right (to the right of the forum navigation)

 

I'll see what I can do about the clutter. Hopefully there's a retro feature to make the navbars and such look like the old site. If not, I may have to hack the style to match the old site. It'll take a bit of work, but I'm sure it can be done.

Also, I found the option to disable having to click for quick reply, so that should work better now.

I wish you guys would have put the top advertising into the top evolutionm banner. Too much dead space / scrolling.

 

how come i have to click on links to view pix now? .. i like it when it just loads all on one page

 

Why fix what wasn't broken? The old version kicked ***, this one is hard on the eyes and way too busy. Lets keep it simple for us simple minded folk. BTW I'm Lost!!!

 

Before we had something like www.supraforums.com . I would suggest mimicking that clean look.

 

OK wtf? My post count dropped...I guess I'm getting phased out and eventually kicked off?
