Are you keeping the new look?

Canis Lupus

I is afraid of change... plus it looked a little too much like facebook for me so I switched back to good old classic.

So you moving with the new hip times or staying in the past?

Sunnyisland

Staying in the past :-(

Dravokivich

Eat my dust losers!

Abi

I don't like change *sulk*

Pushtrak

I like it in terms of functionality, though wish there was a darker skin option.

Bad Panda

Change is good! Me likey!

Xavi6

Yep cause it's great and an improvement.

Penn

Once they fix the 'My Forums' issue on iPad (or maybe they already have), I'd be happy to switch over.

Tombi!

Atari at the moment. I don't like the overly whiteness of it. If they can darken it a bit, I'm all for it (without the sticky menu thingy).

Ghandee

Its shyte with smart phones/tablets iPads etc....

The sticky at the top won't adjust and scroll when I do.

I'm guessing a lot of folk use these devices to access boards in these days, as such, I expect possibly a few to drift off.

A bit much first thing in the morning, or the small hours. Old skin doesn't sear the eyeballs as much.

Einhard

Never!! They'll never get me to move on from my bell bottoms, flares, and tie-dyes. Damn kids with their newfandangled fashions!! :mad:

Tombi!

Here anyone with issues with the sticky menu:
http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/profile.php?do=appearancesettings

Use that and uncheck the "Use Sticky Header" box and it should fix the menu.

The cosy mode thing removes some of the white on the sides (or something) that might help too.

Wibbs

Fair play to the team building it, but I'm not that keen on it. Too much like a touch interface or something*? Dunno how to put it... too much wasted space? Some good extras on it though.










* there's a tendency towards making things look like touch guis these days. Apple are at it quite a bit. A laptop/desktop isn't a pad you twonks.

jester77

I prefer the menu navigation in the old beta menu, no having to click for sub-forums.

DEFTLEFTHAND

I'll probably switch to this new fangled look eventually, I'm just not ready to say goodbye to the old one yet.

NinjaK

looks good, im keeping it!

Sean7

Like the improvements. Colour, etc leaves a lot to be desired but that'll be fixed with the darker skin coming out. In short, I'm going to stick with it.

ongarite

If you think there is too much empty unused space, go to appearance settings and enable cosy mode.

mikemac1

I like it but a bit too bright

Setun

I'm using it - my main issues were that the default fontsize seemed massive, so I zoomed out in my browser and now I like it

getz

can we have a red trim around the sides [with flowers]

Seems to be fixed now, was having a lot of problems viewing on the iPad last week but most are ironed out today

Mint Sauce

I've been using the 'old beta' for some time, and may have to go back to it. I stay logged in on the laptop, and on my phone, my phone logs in to the same format as here, and it cant handle the new look for some reason.

Trying the touch format on the phone also brings me to the same format as I'm using on my laptop, plus not a big fan of the touch site.

megaten

Eh it's not bad but I prefer the old one. I prefer just having to hover to open sub forums at the top.

Seren_

Nope, cloud and proud!

Ghandee

Ok, so I switched back to the old style.

If reoports the sticky may be fixed are correct, I'd be willing to switch to the new style again.

Anyone know how to do that

As currently pointed out by Wibbs.

Congrats to the staff on the hardwork and effort put into the re-design.

Bambii_

I'm keeping it, quite like the new look.

Riddle101

I went back to the old one. New one annoys me a little, makes me want to punch the wall with anger.

go into appearance settings and click/unclick some boxes

ChopShop

Next you're going to tell me HotBot isn't the in thing anymore.

The Snipe

I've been using it since the BETA and I'm quite used to it now.

Bleedin' hipsters! :pac:

Yeah using it now myself after a load of fixes were done recently. It's good, will just take a bit of getting used to.

FutureGuy

It's better laid out, cleaner and easier to read.

Definately keeping new version.

Sandwlch

Why remove the login boxes from the top of the page and force you to go to a login page? Backwards 'improvement'.

Goodshape

Massive improvement. Don't really understand how anyone could prefer the old one, to be honest.

Although I have been using the improved-menu-beta since whenever that was introduced, feels like a year or more at this stage. And then the new-skin beta for the past month or so.. so I'm "used to it". But they were massive improvements, too. There wasn't much to love about that old menu system, imho.

Tombi!

After having it on for two or so hours, I love it.

It's a massive improvement to me.

The white was really hard to get used to at first but it looks so much cleaner now. The extra space/bigger letters are also very nice.

NuMarvel

The new look is already sooooo yesterday. When will we get a new new look??

Plumpynutt

Ah yeah, I'm too lazy to figure out how to change it back, coupled with the fact that along with every change Facebook/Youtube etc have done over the years, I'll get used to it and grow to like it

A wheel unnecessarily re-invented. Also using 2 functions in one visual space: click for forum and click for sub forums - not good UI.

Chucken

I dont like the new thingy. It scares me

Blazer

Fúck no it's brutal...and I dislike having to click the submenus.
Old beta all the way !!!!!!!!

FlashD

I don't like it, everything was way more compacted on the old version allowing me to read off all the topics or messages with outso much scrolling

.....now I just seem to be scrolling all the time just to read one sentence posts, tried making the screen smaller but then I can't read anything.

The contrast is also way too high on the new version, too much white going on for reading.

Functionality is always the most important element of design not 'shiny bright'.

Shryke

I think it's a bit sad that anyone cares. It's not even that different. There's more to life.

saiint

hurts my eyes its too shiny

Stiffler2

No - hate it

it seems to give off a very 2 dimensional feel to it for some reason.
Perhaps it's the lighter blue or less shadowing, I don't know.

just seems 2 d to me though
does anyone else feel this way

don't state the obvious - lol
you know what I mean....


+1 on looking like facebook as well - uuggghhhhh

Ficheall

Are we eventually going to be encouraged to log in to boards via Facebook?

But...it is two dimensional....you're looking at a screen....that has two dimensions....<head explodes>

Blue is calming though, it's meant to stop trolls. :pac:

But... but none of us in AH have Facebook, we're friendless losers.

On the old look I could click on my name and it brought me to a page where there was a link to my thanked posts, whereby I could see if I'd recently uncharacteristically contributed anything worthwhile to a thread. How does one check one's "thanked posts" with this new look?
