New Forum software thread. . .

Forum home page is much easier now. How about some wall papering the color of the robin's egg blue in your BF logo Spark? Things will be so much better when you add a contrasting background color.

 

If you notice on the vBulletin forum site at the bottom left they have all kinds of color selections for the page as well as the text. Some of them are ugly as hell but you get the idea what can be available. I think eventually there will be plenty of views to suit everyone. I kinda like the look that it is now although I do feel like I have just walked in from a snow storm.

Forum list looks much better,the colors are the worst part now.

 

Looking better every day:thumbup:

 

Correction. Can sort the view but the "show threads" button does not work. Love the new look. Much easier to read IMHO.

 

Looks like the only choice is black background or bright white.
I like the Halloween but the black background would get old fast.

 

You are right.I was wondering what made the thread list look so cluttered but could not figure out what it was.
It would be much easier to scan the list your way.

 

I am not bothered at all by what looks like crowding to you. But if the actual thread title were larger and bolder than the "started by" information, I think that would solve your problem.

Personally, I like the started by date. It's a first look at what might be a resurrected thread.

 

Wow!
Hard to believe something so small could make that big of a difference.

 

Sadly this does look like facebook. So much for familarity being a good thing. The colors are hidious, the layout is flat, and looks like every other forum, links were broken due to changes in the design. The SQL may be better for the design of the database, but this new interface gives me a headache also. Just another reason not to renew when the time comes.

 

I have mine set so those 2 side bars are not showing.Looks more like the old forum that way.

 

I think the whole change is great. Working pretty darn good for me. I only have two MINOR repeat MINOR issues and that is that I can't get the frickin green circle with a left pointing white arrow to indicate that I have a post in a thread to stay put or appear at all AND

"Next to the "Quick Navigation" bar at the bottom of the page there is now a button that says "Top". Can we get that changed to "Go" like it used to be so that it takes you back to the sub-forum front page listed in the bar? It is especially useful after posting a thread."

Take yer time Spark. I know yer a busy man. Maybe we can work it out somethime this up-coming week. If it turns out it can't be worked out, it sure as hell won't spoil anything.

Thanks for the Forum.

 

I see a ton of improvement!
