New forum vs old forum

[Mr. Big.Biggs]

Topic says it all. This is worse than AOL groups!!

is there a “revert to classic” setting? Otherwise See Ya!!!

Thanks

[Baldrick33]

I thought the "old" one was perfect! Were there complaints? Can't work out how to see the latest posts or view all of my subscribed threads without going to individual sub-forums. Plus it looks horrible...

[markuscha]

Yes.Revert to classic wold be a thing for me,too !

Missing to be able to read the last post of a topic !

[Reflected]

I also preferred the old one for its user friendliness. Here I can't find a "view new posts" functionality, which I always used .I can't set up a signature either. Aesthetically the old one looked better too.

Its TRAGEDY : ((((((

 

We back to 2002 ....

I thought it was broken. You mean this was intentional? ;) It's much harder to read the tiny print now.

[Dunx]

Please revert.

Its a Forum in EARLY ACCESS style. What do you mean guys? ;D

[spacefox]

Even PMDG uses the same forum format software

 

The format looks nice and all.

User Settings > Account > Edit Post Signature.

Remember to enable seeing sigs too.

I see here, you can edit the style of Forum (colours), Account section:

I've literally been looking at this for 15 minutes and just thought: "Wow. What a mess. Why? Why? Why? Seriously, why?".

 

I really hate to tell, but from a professional (20 years of webdesign experience on my belly) as well as a users POV, this is the most horrible thing i've seen in quite a while.

There's so many basic design and usability principles punched right in the face it literally made my hamster.exe stop for minutes. I didn't know where to start, it's been overwhelming.

 

Really, please: either try to revert to the old design, which was quite okay or find another theme that shows relevant information in a clear, condensed way. This in all seriousness is nothing i want to visit several times a day, not even several times a month and it's no case of "you need to get used to it, take your time".

 

After recovering i thought i visualize for better expressiveness. That's just the very first things i recognized without really using the forums at all.

Anybody Know were the user files are ie skins ect?

[CBStu]

I agree. Change back please. You can change the overall coloring at the very bottom left side of the page it says either 'Default', Dark', or 'Denim'. Makes it look a little different but doesn't fix anything really. W/ all the wasted space I will wear out my mouse wheel before anything else.

[kahuuna]

Yes, with the others. This new format is BAD... Please revert.

[Hummingbird]

Have to agree, this was not a change for the better.

 

The old one was a lot easier on the eyes.

 

Worst part though is that you can't check for new responses without having to enter the subforums themselves.

[sharkfin61]

That forum format far from good not even good from far.

 

If there is any chance, please reconsider.

[Cibit]

Never one to normally complain but really, I certainly dont want to tweet or FB stuff from these forums. Are ED being paid for using this software or benefit from twitter or FB?

[Brainless]

Please NO, NOOO, NOOOOOOO!!!!!

[wowbagger]

+1

 

Do not like.

[BIGNEWY]

Hi all,

 

The team are tweaking the forum, give it some time. We know change can be difficult for some, I will need to adapt also :)

[Hammer1-1]

Id like to know where the User CP is; I have a ton of subscribed threads I have no idea where they are now.

REVERT!
