Well the subject seemed to come up often enough. You cant really gauge it by how many stuck it out.

Personally I always did like it the old way but I figured it was just my customer support background.

The poll in the shrapnel forum always stayed fairly equal. most complaints were by new people. However the board format is still being worked on so it might flip around some.

If you were going to take a vote, the age of a person's profile should modify the worth of their vote based on the average 'churn' for profiles of that age. This would grade teh votes based on the actual chance that the person voting would stick around to complain about the result in the future.

Heh.

I'd love to meet someone who thinks implementing that would be a good time.

Anyway, forget the newbs, they don't know what's good for them. Please flip the post order back around.

Or give us another chance to vote, another poll. Now that it's actually happenned you might get more telling participation levels.

Takes time to get used to the new look, first glance and first opinion: the old one was better. But maybe I'll get used to this. Page width is out of order, font is too large - I prefer not to scroll endlessly and despite my age I still can read more than 2 lines of letters per screen

. Ability to choose the font size by individual preference would be ideal, so the forum could accomodate grandfathers with reading glass allergies and small-print used 24/7 compi-gamers alike

And, of course, the correct reading order again please.

Have you enabled Threaded view Loser? I know that Tesco has, and he is having problems seeing the SEIV forum...

Been in touch with Fyron on this one. Just wanted to let anyone else, interested, know that this does not appear to be the problem.

I wasn't set for threaded, anyway.

Loser, I think Richard is working on this. Please PM him with a screenshot of what you're seeing if you can.

Also, there's a feature at the very bottom of the forum home page which allows you to view a list of new Posts - you select from new in the Last 24 hours, 48 hours, etc. I'm finding this helpful in this transition.
