Thanks for the clarification.

Okay, I think I'm getting used to it now. And yea, there's definitely a few good new features which are quite cool.

I'm only slightly taken aback by the fact that, compared to the old one, the layout is rather... spacious. I wish I could get the fonts/layout a little smaller.

Which style are you using?
On my PC, using IE6, all fonts are about the same size.

Very Cool Look!

jumpy · 05-29-06, 06:12 PM

Firstly : nice ... dig the new look, though it will take a short time to get used to

(some of us are a bit slow there eh?)
Second : I'm not sure it this is a problem or not... my email address is correct in my USER CP area, however if I click the 'msn' button that apears below my subsim avatar, the address appears mispelled. I cannot tell if this is a typo or a font error.
I have a screenshot of this should any admin/Neal require it.

Is that something you can update with correct info?

LoBlo · 05-29-06, 08:49 PM

I like the new forums.

However, one thing that I've always hated about the vBulletin type of forums is there ultra clickyness with excessive subsectioning.

For example, General Discussion is now a subsection of General, which when clickied will unneccesarily take you to the General Subsections menu, or DW clicky will now subdivide to DW subsections with when clicked can take you to the actual DW disscusion which has a DW Multiplayer as its own subsection...

Not that its really that big a deal, but it gives more of a cluttered appearance and actually counteracts itself to look less, not more, organized... is there a way to tone down the subsection clickyness to more like the original "less-clicky" old forums?

Onkel Neal · 05-29-06, 10:04 PM

Just click the forum you want to visit directly. No need to click the categoriy headers.

It doesn't appear so, all of the info is correct in user cp already, and I assume that info in the msnm button is linked to the address in the user cp... I'll have to try and 'connect' to myself and see what happens

EDIT: just tried to update my profile with my hotmail address... it's still spelled wrong in the the button below my avatar.

Bertgang · 05-30-06, 05:16 AM

Well, I have to admit that, if I were a new user here, all I could say is something like: "wow, that's fantastic, the best forum ever seen"

Unfortunately, I am the sort of moron who can appreciate the new brilliant shoes, but is reluctant to use them feeling more comfortable with the older ones; to give an honest answer, I need lot of use of this new forum.

Until now, I noticed just some minor malfunctions:
1) I can't reply to private mails, as every time I try "explorer" has an error and falls down.
2) My new thread about the above said problem today seems disappeared.
3) I had to repeat my login to post what I am saying; maybe the same problem shown in a different section, unread by me until now not knowing to have any log in problem.

Out of that, the new forum seems ok.
