Your Thoughts on the New Board Format?

CSS is a simple fix...

while there may be bigger issues that are user experience problems it is ludicrous that this color ever appeared on any of your customers screens... while I understand you have captive users here, it says a lot about your concern for your product that you allowed a Kentucky site be anything but blue for more than 2 minutes...

I can't believe that you had no opportunity to see this before it went live. If you didn't then you should expect more from the provider. If you did and the color was no big deal to you.... well then....

I think it's refreshing . . . going to take some time to get used to. Anybody found any neat features that might not be so apparent (i.e. posting a link and title it something so it doesn't show as the web address)?

Please, whoever is going to adjust the color make sure it does not change to lavender. That would make me go away for good, for sure.
 
It's much better functionally and feature wise. Specially on mobile.

The color pallet needs some attention. The color is purple to me as well. Everyone sees color differently and everyone computer monitor and/or phone displays color differently as well so to those who set the colors it may be UK blue to them. It definitely needs addressed though. Also, there needs to be some contrast to help break it up just a bit more. Everything is the same color, threads, avatars, menus and headers. Also the Read/Unread differentiation. Once everyone or most have avatars that show next to the posts I think that will help a lot. All of the generic circles all run together. If anyone saw the Chrome extension that was posted, that helps a ton and I think should help influence changes to the default appearance.

I know everyone was used to the old style but it was on 10 year old tech that was out of date and needed updated bad. Most will say they don't like it just because it's different and not what they are used to. In a few months everyone will be used to it and if they went back to the old, you'd see how archaic it was.

On a computer I like the old way a little better but will like this one just fine when I get used to it and they change it from purple to blue. On my phone I like this format WAY better.

I vote the old way also but probably because of famailarity, we will get used to it was easier for me to change forums on other going from HOB to RR seems like takes longer.
 
I use my phone 90% of the time on it and I like this one WAY better. I can quote and use emoticons on it. :D

I also like that it automatically takes you the first post you haven't seen in a thread.

It's okay.

I like that you can view new posts while you're replying. I like that avatars/sigs seem easier to put together, never could figure out how to do that within my account previously (though that might be on account of my own stupidity, IDK).

I liked the old emoticons a lot better. I liked the old color scheme better. I don't like the white-on-white layout, it feels like I'm experiencing snow blindness.
 
I like it a lot better. It's quicker, easier on the eyes except the purple, and the extra options are much easier to work with.
