New Forum feedback

[surveyor]

You can customize the look of the layout of this new site, to be quite similar to the old site.  I have the threads "condensed", and always showing recent posts from every category.

Still feeling my way round the new site and struggling a bit but that's probably me and my non existant tech skills.  

 

the two things that spring to mind straight away are that it's very, very white, to the point it hurts my eyes.  It sounds like as a user I can adjust and select things to suit me but is there the option of adding a background colour to soften it down a bit?

 

Also, I used to browse primarily by clicking the unread post button and it used to list threads in chronological order of activity rather than actual individual posts and used to take no time to flick through every few days, just stopping to read what looked interesting, whichever topic it might fall under.  Is there a way I can do this too?

In 'my activity' it says 'days won 5', what does this mean?

[Steve Bullman]

Means your posts received the most likes on the forum in those 5 days.

 

strange but true!!!!!

Thanks for clearing that up.

 

I don't think it's strange. I'd like to think most regular members know when I'm being serious and when I'm being very much tongue in cheek.

I too was being tongue in cheek eggs, just too busy to insert a smiley to make it more obvious

Looks confused: the old layout was easy and intuitive. Why oh why must stuff be changed?

[Mull]

Too fiddily and difficult to navigate, don't like it at all.

and still no app?

[GardenKit]

This new look is really not that bad, just different. Its very easy to find your way round if you just apply logic and read the headings.

The posts are neatly laid out and not too hard on the eyes.

And it works well mobile.

 

I just cannot see what all the fuss is about. 

 

Well done Steve, thanks for the effort, its a pity about all the negative comments from members who find it so difficult to use that they cannot stop posting their criticism.

It's feedback! As per thread title!
