Well at least we did not loose the member post counts. LOL. Could you have imagined the HELL that would have been?

At the moment I don't like it. Its all new and confusing. In a month or so I guess I'll get used to it. Putting old stuff first is annoying. In the joke thread theres at least 60 pages. I gave up trying to get to the end to see new stuff. I just posted in "Flash Gordon" and it forces you to look at your post before posting it. Fine, but all the preview showed was the quote and not my stuff. I had to accept not sure if what I wrote would be posted.

edit: but I just discovered I can turn off preview.

Couple items that I find annoying (one of which Fyron already mentioned):

1. Horizontal sizing seems off on the tables. Using Moz 1.7.2 at 1024x768 and about 25% of the right side of Posts are 'offscreen' ... e.g. have to slide the horizontal bar right.

2. Date format. You got rid of DDMMMYY. Pet peeve

3. Reply method: I don't like the new threaded model. Like the flat single topic model much better. While the view is optional, replying isn't. To reply to the main topic, you have to hit 'reply' on the first post. If you hit reply on a later reply (say the Last post in the current thread), it ends up threaded. Would prefer a flat thread. New system seems like a step backwards to the pre-UBB cgi Boards of the early / mid 90's.

Other than that, no issues. Most sites do posting ordering similiar to this so non issue. Never was one for skinning so indifferent about this also. Out of curiosity (maybe I missed the thread) did Shrapnel ever post why they were moving from UBB to UBB Threaded as opposed to just updating UBB or $insert_some_other_BB_here ... was this hardware / cost / or scaling driven?

I'm using Firefox and I had the same thing happen. So I decreased the text size by one notch and it's OK now.

The date format is supposed to be changeable in your user profile. I tried it but I got some sort of error.
