Hi There,



You probably noticed that something has changed here. So, my question is:

Question...

Post by Smegabyte »

The poll asks if we like the new or the old forum better. And then the choices are Yes and No.



So does Yes mean we like the old one better or the new one better?

Mixed opinions, I guess. The new features when posting are great, such as the smart click on/click off bold, italic, and underline features, as well as one-click emoticons. :D



Title topics apparently get cut off now if they're too long, as some topics that used to be fully displayed are now abbreviated.



The colors are nice. I have no preference between old/new, though. However, the WoWAYF graphic now noticeably shows a black outline. I'm not really picky, and don't mind it, but a new graphic might finish the job nicely.



Overall, I like the new design better.

Nice upgrade, whizzi! I like the easy bbcode buttons for those who don't have HTML or bbcode skillz.



Three things, though: The buttons to go to the new posts are too small.



I'd like to be able to have an icon/avatar. And, I liked that on the older board that the forums with new posts/replies were in red. Much easier to see.



Just my two pfennigs.

We have avatars, only remote ;)

Because I don't need to have more server load with my 128Kbit connection. So, if you have a webserver, you can put your avatar there. ;)



I have some other servers, so if you need a hosting, mail me ;) :P

At first I did not like the 'new look' or software or whatever it is - sorry, not too computer smart :roll: I'm just slow to change, that's all. I really liked the black better.



Now that I'm replying, I think this is rather cool. I like it. :D



The only thing is, It's hard to find the new messages. Is it just me? Because it could be. I'll admit, I'm not the brightest crayon in the box.
