The new look doesnt feel as welcoming as the old look to me. It might steer people away

Voted 'yes', though I would really like to see avatars and the info below them on the left side. My eyes are very hard looking on the right for some reason :?

@Andre_Online: You can find the 'Mark all forums read' link on the forum index, upper right corner

Yeah alot of buttons are somewhere else, like the pages, are no at the end of the line, instead of under the topic tittle... and I wonder why did they change that? cause it worked well.. but then I always wonder why they change things that work.

Give it some time, maybe this proves to be even more functional, and easier to use

I just noticed the amount of horizontal space the avatar takes up is about twice that of the old style, makes it look cluttered.

Oh yeah, loving my signature, too. :roll:

I am starting to not like to come on this site and post just because the loading takes 30 secs (60kb/s connection). And it's not very welcoming for the guests i have to tell you that.
Where is Bojan? We need a reply from him.

Maybe an option should be created to choose between the old style, and the new.

I believe it would please the masses.

OK the experiment has been done.

Now take back the original, logic, good looking NFSUnlimited board before the members begin to leave this site :wink:


Can't guess what are new members going to think when seeing this fugly thing... "WTF? it's worse than those free boards full of ads. This site must be da sux. Let's go to the next result from google.... mmm! nd4spdworld!!" And we got one less member #-o
Still rolling my eyes :roll:

Who the hell chose "Yes" other than Carcrazy? This forum is basically garbage now. I've been delaying my replies recently because it's so hard on the eyes. And this signaturial problem isn't getting much better, even after re-uploading so I don't know what kind of idiocy made the message, "The sigpic dimensions could not be determined" when my dimensions are exactly 550 x 120. I see that Bojan has taken up my idea of adding an easily navigatable searchbar on the top of the forum page, which I am pleased with except that there's no point in searching for a topic when it takes energy to reply.

Eh, I have no problem with the functionality of the forum, it's just as navigable as the previous style, I just don't care for the look.

Me too.

Bojan upgraded the forum software and added a lot of new features. Now he just has to modify the code and get some of our favorite old things back. That is, of course, if he chooses to.

EDIT:
Just noticed, the forum now allows for posting of Flash. At least, there's an option to turn Flash on and off.

As much as I appreciate the new changes and features to the code, why couldn't he leave the style the way it was?

Ok I agree that I've gotten used to reading through the posts but the board itself while navigating through the threads is still too busy and cluttered. I honestly think that needs to be changed and please...just move the avatars and names back to the left! C'mon, it's pretty much standard for a forum!

I agree totally with 2furio. It just doesn't make sense to read who posted after the actual post. You are basically asking us to read right to left, which isn't right.

Yeah but still you get confused sometimes. I for one looked at the avatar and instantly knew who talked now it takes much more than that, and where's Bojan and we need the old style back or at least a better looking style that isn't busy and Cluttered.
