Well, new perhaps, the jury is still out on the improved part....

 

[sureshot28]

I agree !!!!

 

[jayholland]

So, how is it ' improved'? It looks a bit different, but...

As Euphod says, the jury is out...

"Top" button/tag does not work, a few new smilies, forum is slow, station stops gone, can't find calendar...

 

[Gandalf0444]

Be nice if I could read the damn forum without being blinded by the colors...Got a massive headache after looking at it for 10 minutes.

Back when a previous forum changed to a very dark look, many complained that it appeared to be something from Batman's Gotham.

Now we have a rather bleached look. A bit too pale for my old eyes. And the text font is very thin too. Is there a setting where any of this can be changed on a user basis?

 

[mezzoprezzo]

~snip~ can't find calendar...

It's on the top of the screen, bottom line of banner, next to FAQ.

Yes, thank you I did find it, but it only appears while viewing a thread, it is not under the banner otherwise.

 

[SuperFudd]

Well, at least the link to the DLS seems to be gone.
;>

 

[AnalogOldguy]

Cannot find the link to change the colors of this forum...
I did read something about it being at the bottom left of the screen ...
All I have seen at the bottom left is the changer for languages ...
These colors are bad on my monitor ...

Oh, here's the answer ...You may be able to change the styling of the board by using the style changer in the bottom left of the page. This lets you choose different skins which change the color scheme and appearance of the board.

If this option does not appear, the board cannot be restyled. JUST DANDY

Suppose can live with it. What happened to the DLS link?

 

[K4driver]

I hate it. Hard to read, ugly, and waste of time. Probably will not be hanging here much any more.

 

[Euphod]

Can't get there from here...I used to enjoy the utility of being able to get to "Planet Auran Profile" and the DLS from the forum page...

 

[mopac10]

I cannot even get to the download station like I used to!!!!!!!!!!! I may not spend much time here anymore if I am not able to access it as easy as it used to be.

 

[big_b]

Don't like it one little bit.No even the color scheme.
Too much glare to use with glasses
I think I'll save "blowing my horn until there's something to blow it about.
I'm on board but not enjoying the ride so far

 

[j_maybury]

At first glance I can only say I feel very disappointed, it's not even a good face lift.

 

[big_b]

Do we need a 1st class forum ticket now to view the forums at a reasonable speed ?

 

[slave-driver]

As it has been mentioned already it seams to bright. It will take some getting use to. The loading of the topic and thread pages are very slow.

 

[slabay]

I actually like the brighter color. I think it is a cleaner look. As far as no link to the DLS, I have it as a bookmark on my browser anyhow. I never used the link from the forums. I haven't tried reading anything else yet.
