This forum was the cleanest, easiest to navigate of any that I know, and there is urge to change? I don't get it?

As far as early feedback goes, it is IMO a mistake to eliminate the quick link tabs that were above the forums. Why click on a "Forum" drop-down menu in order to search for links that were previously readily available, and intuitive?

Also, the distinction between the "sticky" topics and all others should be better defined, as should the topics that have been updated since the last visit.

 

Oh sorry but I don´t like change like this, those avatars just don´t look right circular

 

Can't see a "Forums read" tick box. Looks cheap. Sorry but only my opinion. Wasn't broken, why fix?

 

Change is good. Like the white

 

Just logged on and first impression is very good. Clean and modern
Ok change always takes a bit of getting used to but it has to happen.

 

I appreciate the prompt reply, and that these are early stages, but I am still unclear as to why it was felt that any significant changes were necessary.

Also, with regard to this: "More significantly, try it on your phone…", I know that I am in a minority, but that isn't remotely significant to me. Shouldn't a phone "app" be separate from the way that a site formats on a computer?

 

I don' t have a phone

 

My face is a bit rough, could you fix that for me while you are at it

 

I think it looks fine actually - looks a fair bit 'cleaner'

 

First impressions, I love the clean and minimalist look. Seems to work faster navigating, posting and liking posts. I am a user who uses the phone and tablet mostly to view the forum. Everything fits perfectly now when previously the alignment runs and I use chrome on both devices.
However I appreciate the quick links to the various brand forums previously. Less clicking to get to where I want to go in the previous version. I also miss the banner where I can click the "Latest" wherever I was on the page. Now I have to scroll to the top and click the drop down menu.
Too much rattling on my part for first impressions.

 

I love it. Really appreciate the amount of work you guys put in. Do the moderators get anything out of this apart from their own enjoyment.

 

Change?!?!?! We fear change!!!!!

 

Okay, I take it back - I dig the squirrel with the fistful of cash. MUCH better than Charlie!

 

OK, wow. Thanks to this thread I will try and go direct and not use taptalk.

This interface is quite good and feature rich.
