New Forum Layout: Love It Or Hate It?
« on: June 29, 2010, 08:25:52 PM »
Eli has upgraded the forum and it now has a new layout, what do you think of it?

Also feel free to chime in with features that you would like to see.
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

I want the stars back! Otherwise, with a bit of getting used too, it looks nice.

I didn't see this thread and I posted a similar one in "Just Schmooze". Delete it if you like.

Personally I didn't see anything wrong with the old design, but this one seems good too.

What happened to the flags and user locations?

It would be great if the mobile site had the same or near same functionality as the main forum.

I actually preferred the old setup. Easier to read. Less flashy.

And the kudos are back? I thought we were done with that. I agree with the Applaud (as in reps) but dont like the smite idea. Too many babies around :)

OK, Kudos is gone, location and programs are back, just go to Profile>Forum Profile to set those up again.
Also just above "location" there is a little bubble to send someone a PM and it you hover over it, it will tell you if they're online.

Thanks. Will try.
And you can switch back to mobile by clicking "Wap2" on the bottom of the page.
You can even try it out on a computer.

Doesn't the green box near their name tell you that?

Tried the full V. on the BB and it's working well. Thanks.

I love the new layout. Much cleaner and modern looking than the old one......
Also the Wap site is great! Thanks....

Now, could anyone help me decide on an avatar? It's between Linkin' Park and Bon Jovi....
