New look for forum

[simon]

To All(ah):

Yeah we are doing all kinds of tweaks and whatever on the interface. We'll totally change it so you guys like it better. Because it didn't come with the new vbulletin upgrades...

Here's an idea, if you don't like how things look, get a copy of vbulletin, make an alternate css and layout, we'll dev it, and walah! A different look.

half a box of cookies and i'm ranting, tada!

It's for the better just because you say so?

This is a free service provided so like-minded people [and complete ignorant fucking idiots] can initiate discourse on things that they like. Why the hell are you still complaining about the layout?

Valid point. Corollary: since this is a site driven by community interaction and comments from that community regarding the new layout have been solicited by the admins on more than one occasion, he's pretty well within in his rights to say if he likes it or not.

And I have to agree - I'm not as keen on it as the previous layout. Visually, it's fine as far as I'm concerned; my gripe is purely one of layout. Having the user info run in a row above each post makes it harder to follow the flow of a thread as you scroll down the page - the old layout of the leftmost column containing the user info and rightmost containing the thread was a lot easier to keep track of things in.

Other than that, as far as I'm concerned it's fine - which is to be expected, given that all I do is log in, post, and read stuff. I don't really use any more than the basic features here, so my view of how well things are or are not working is almost certainly not as broad as some folks'.

Agreed! On both counts...
