the new forum lay out is disappointing

[kmirts]

i just checked this site after a few months and am totally lost, the look is no good and i try to search in the topic search and cant pull anyhting up, it says that it cant find any matches, whats with the change, i guess since i cant easily find the topics im looking for ill switch to gmfs, but i really liked this site more than that one due to the simplicity.

To each their own...I did find the new lay out to be considerably different but I figured it out just as fast as when I first came on board this forum. I like the newer options for searching, make finding everything that much faster for me. Again to each their own & hope you enjoyed your time here.

I'm sorry that you find it disappointing. We are aware the current skin is a bit clunky. We're already working on a "fix".

[11Silvy]

I don't like it either, miss the old layout...O well....It's still a great forum!

[Stevens03]

I don't mind it... I understand its a working in progress.

Like any change you get used to it and find what works. It's a little shocking when something is different but with an open mind you can adapt pretty fast.

its very slow,if it was layed out like the posts i think it would flow better,i liked better before the changes,but everything changes so i'll probuly get used to it

The mobile version is much improved. Love viewing the site on my phone now!

I didnt care for it much eather but ive gotten use to it. But I would like to see spell checker in the "reply to the topic"

It's ok. Runs slow on both my phone, and computer though...

It is drastically different but with a few tweaks it will be better than before. Btw to the op's point, the search function worked as you described for me in the old version. I tried searching for a topic by searching for the actual name of the thread and nothing came up.

Don't shoot the messengers guys. All forum platforms are moving in this direction to handle all the different ways folks use the internet (phones, set-top boxes, etc). They have to move forward to get the latest updates, security features, etc.

 

 

I’m all for progress. It’s change I don’t like.

Just wanted to note that we also are aware of the search issue and will be setting up full-text searching early next week as a fix. Thanks for bearing with us guys. Making this right and smoothing out all the wrinkles is very important to us.

[jdubya]

just to clarify, I like the new format. I just believe that with some tweaks it will be perfect. I am sure you are already aware of them so I will not beat a dead horse....

Zane, is there a way lke before if you look at items with new postings in them it will automaticly go to the new post? I think that is one thing I miss most along with after reading post with more than one page it going back to the main list of new post? I don't know if you can do anything about it or if that is one thing that is to come soon. Just wanted to let you know and check with you on it.

By the way you and Josh do an execllent job with this board and you have my thanks for all the hard work you guys put into this.
