Caught me off guard with the new site format.....are you still working out the kinks?
You know we don't like change around here!!!
 
Me too, but in a few weeks we'll probably forget there ever was another layout and be perfectly fine with this one.
 
I read the forum on Tapatalk. It still looks the same to me.
 
Well, I liked the old format, but the new is working well for me too. Good job!
 
Yes, I will get used to it and forget the old one. Takes time though.

We all reacted the same way the last time....we'll get used to it.

OK I will be the odd ball , I like the new look better
 
I don't like this one at all. It looks too generic and drab.
 
The thing that I really dislike is that I can't tell when someone posted or replied once I am inside the thread. So, I may be looking at a post that was started several years ago, a newbie just found and replied to yesterday. then I go thru all the replies until one jogs my memory (yes, I am old and it takes a lot of jogging - and not the exercizy type).

It follows what is becoming a trend in web design with more simple presentation. I think the style is less than desirable due to the think fonts and lack of contrast making reading more difficult. Lighter backgrounds and thicker, larger, darker fonts are much easier and faster to read.
 
What I'm looking at is almost the same as the 'old' one.

You can change styles, there's a button for that way down at the bottom of the page.

AHHH, much better - thanks for the tip!
 
Blaaaah - now the style went back to the 'new' one (which works like crap on my XP machine) and I don't see the style button anymore. It better come back....
 
Same here:(
 
Okay, so where is this legendary button? And while we're at it what does this forum do for me that the old one did not?
