Neat looking update.

Only negative I see so far (or do not see actually) is the red icon for new posts is not sufficiently visible, needs to be brighter, or standard (no new posts) icon needs to be darker. Makes scanning the board for new posts of interest much harder.

I suspect us old folks here will need some time to get used to all of this.

It's all fancified. It does look nice.

First off, what's this about new posts looking red? they all look blue to me. Alternating between a light blue & an even lighter blue.

Why are Avatars so TINY now? That blows.

I don't like the rounded corner bubbly look of the individual messages. It's not as crisp as the actual corners that the old version had. It reminds me of VH1's "Pop up video," and I did NOT like that show.

I don't like the user info on the right. not at all.
I prefer to see WHOSE post I'm reading first. natual inclination is to read from right to left, si it's weird now that it's not on the left.

Not all posts are getting through, apparently. I left one message in this thread, even SAW it in here. Left the thread, returned, and it's not here anymore. Did I accidentally put me on my own "Ignore" list? LOL

I agree.

What is THIS for [*] ?

Sorry, Adam... but I just don't like it.
I'll get USED to it, but I SO prefer the look of the previous boards. More traditional, less teeny-bopper.

Lower rating? You ship first.

Give me a sense of humor Lord. Give me the grace to see a joke.
To get some humor out of life and pass it on to other folk.


I think what this situation needs is some imagination.

Want my help with a BTR or backout? All messages sent/posted should be in CHRONOLOGICAL order. Otherwise, I just won't read it.

Wow, What a way to cause a guy a heart attack. I go away for a week and come back to some new crazy layout website. Its cool though. Eventually I WILL get use to it. I would like to also comment on what MM and Peacemystic said on the layout. The poster info on the left made more sense to me. It is weird being on the right.

Also, am I missing something or are the trader ratings now missing? Maybe I am looking in the wrong location though.
The only "hobby" GW is interested in is lining their pockets with your money.

- Finally, if you complete a trade with me, you also agree that MagickalMemories will send me a free grot in the mail.
