New Boards (Verdict?)

[Shalimar]

New Features: Yay.

New look: DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE! Give me my old ENWorld back!

I totally agree with you Tsyr, I liked the old look much better, but I can be forced to ignore the new look if they get everything working right.

Not being able to tell if there are new posts because the main forum page doesn't refresh is a semi-big deal. I could live with pretty much everything else, but not being able to tell when there are new posts sort of defeats the purpuse of the boards, how can you discuss when you can't see what others are saying.

Bleh. We've had far worse problems in times past, and we were using the old boards then. The problem you describe will be fixed, just like every problem we've ever had has been fixed. Be an optimist!

Well, the look is far more dependent on the styles the administrator creates than the software itself. Again, as I've repeated many times today, there will be many changes over the coming days.

Give it a couple of days. Let the ENWorld team sort out the wrinkles they know of, then let em have it ... er I mean, let em know what you think. You might find you have become accustomed to alot of the changes.

 

[Morrus]

Yay! That's the spirit!

 

[Psychotic Dreamer]

I agree. Give it sometime. I was quite against the changes at first, but they are begining to grow on me. After I deleted all my cookies relating to ENWorld it solved my login problem, the boards are fast now and seem to be working quite well.

 

[reapersaurus]

Yay!
The hyperlinks are visable, AND I can now see what threads I've clicked on before!

Those were the two largest problems for me, and they've already been fixed.

Great!

The next biggest issue is of course the posticons...

edit: and what's with the huge width of the name/avatar column?

and some of the column widths when viewing all the threads in a forum could stand some adjusting, too.

The new boards are awesome Morris! Every time I log on something that seemed bad when I first saw them has been 'fixed', and the new features (like the quick reply I'm using right now) rule!

Great work.

It looks nice, but my pages aren't refreshing, and it won't do the auto-login (and I've already tried deleting my cookies). Any word on what's going on with that?
