I don't like the new look of "unread" threads....I preferred when they were red...made them easier to distinguish

The rest of the improvements, are good though thumbup

yes i'm with you guy's on this. That was one of the things that i really liked about the PH forums was the ease-to-the eyeness (if that makes sence).

Edit : and not really liking these BIG yellow boxes that are popping up on the screen around people's post's.

Have to agree with the above, I don't like the new look.

ALSO COULD WE PLEASE HAVE PAGE NUMBERS BACK NOT JUST NEXT, PREV AND LAST

just took me ages finding something because I had to keep clicking next next next next next next next when I used to click on page 7 etc

If I clicked on a thread in 'My Contributions', it used to take me to the last page. Now it takes me to the first page, which I feel isn't so useful.

I've kept the look the largely same as it was as I did anticipate changes not being accepted too readily.

Alternative looks include:

Ok, the top and bottom parts of the forums have changed slightly but why does everyone thinks the worlds going to end.

It's like Baldrick not being able to recognise the Prince Regent and Blackadder because they've swapped coats.

It's new, all new things need to be brought online slowly. It will adapt and change slightly I'm sure but there is really no difference to how it was yesterday. And the main forum listing is in line with the "My stuff" section which has been in place for ages.


Edited to say - starting typing before Ted responded above, only just posted it

Apart from each time I post it changes from how it is supposed to look, to this...



It loses all the blue touches

First impressions:

The sticky posts have grey bands on them. Is it necessary?
There aren't so many lines on the page - not so good
There's a list of folder icons down the left which don't seem to do anything.

It's not unpleasant but it's slightly less good than before.

When I read a topic, and I click 'Gassin Station' I'm just left with a page with the headers on and nothing else confused

Me too. And why is everything in 'Janet and John' mode...the text appears to be three foot high!! Not much squeezes on to my screen.
