EDIT: i dunno now... i thought it would grow on me but now my eyes are seriously starting to hurt. I'm going to decline and say i don't like this format

I know it doesn't matter to any of you but this is how i would have changed things from the original I-club.

1)Change the color scheme to something more "masculine"
2)add more emotions like :devil: and a few others
3)Make 100X100 avatars and titles mandatory at 100 posts (even 500 posts)
4) Turn off the swear filter (or give us the option to turn it off)

Other than that i would have kept it the same.

 

I like the new format. It'll take a bit of getting used to, but I like it so far. I just have one question - are scoobysnacks gone for good?

And Salty was right - at least we still have the bananas!!!

:banana:

 

Ditto. The default fonts are SO small! WTH?

 

 

While resistance to change is a normal human function, I am especially finding this new layout very hard to swallow.

1) The fonts are too small
2) Unnecessary graphics which are distracting (the boxes surrounding each post)
3) Color scheme hurts my eyes
4) Choppy scroll function
5) The content of the messages is getting lost with everything else that is on the screen

My brain may just need time to adjust to some of these things, but overall I'm finding the layout distracting.

There are, of course, some nice additions:

1) Click on a person's name in the thread to bring up several options
2) More advanced search function
3) Email notifications of subscribed threads include the text of the last reply
4) I'm sure there's more I haven't found yet.

I would also assume the more popular functions such as quick reply and buddy list will be retunring in time. edit: it appears the buddy list is on the quick links and you can pm from it.

In terms of bugs, I have not seen anything yet.

 

Thanks Mr. Egan. I'm sure that Alex will find that helpful. This brings up a good point - that constructive criticism as well as letting Alex know what you do like about the new layout is a good thing. I wouldn't want to get used to the new stuff then have it disappear after a few days.

eh my only complaint is the scrolling is super choppy i thought it was something being slow on my computer but my computer is ok

dont get caught in the routine machine people embrace the change


<--- ghey and fluffy but atlest we have the monkey still to help us out

 

I think the colors are great! The things i don't like are that the font is too small, and also that my scooby snacks disappeared. I was saving up for the last 4 months to get an avatar...

 

Well, I guess I can do that!

 

i agree with egan in that it is tough to flow through the posts... my eyes are diverted to the users name, etc, rather than their post. i like it when user info is at bttom IMO

monkey and dancing banana are cool

so is this guy... where are my pants?

 

Bigger Avatars and where are the SS's

 

Few, finally I can log on. Must have just been my home network doing wierd things.

Anyways, it is going to take some getting used to but personally I like the new format!

 

Everything being center justified is hard for my brain to process too.

You should make size=2 the default font size.

 

I think the SS may take a while to get set up with the new format. I do agree though on slightly larger avatars, because you really cant see much with the current size.

 

I don't have an avatar bu I'd like to see them bigger anyways.
I think i-club looks more like some other forums now and I don't know how I feel about that yet.
But I do think that the change will be good after we all get used to it.

And I was just getting my snacks built up
