It's making me go insane. I hate the new setup of the forum, I liked it before, and now it's practically impossible for me to do ANYTHING, takes FOREVER to load now with all the stuff, and when I go to google to find something (because the forum site is really bad at searching) I find the quandary texture pack I have and wanted to update, and click and it brings me to the main forum site. I didn't want that, I wanted to go to the page. Why can't they just go back, instead of having a problem filled forum site that barely anyone likes??

Same thing here, I've almost completely stopped using these forums because of the setup. I find myself quite repelled by the new icons. Also, there seems to be about a billion new sections on the forums.

Nope. I just Googled "Quandary texture pack", clicked on the link, and it brought me straight to the forum page. Works fine.

IPB is a big improvement over phpBB. We are still ironing out a few problems and bugs that come along with the switch, and certain features need to be tested to make sure they work before they are brought online, but overall it's a much more powerful piece of forum software for users and moderators alike.
The forums are *ok* if you are on a desktop, the only problem I have is with the messed-up search.
HOWEVER, on a mobile device they are unusable.
I browse the forms a ton on my iPhone 4, they work fine. The only problem is Javascript (Which mobile phones suck at). However, Curse is working on a mobile theme for the forums.

People complained about the old icons and demanded Minecraft styled icons. We can't keep everyone happy. It only took me a day to figure out and get used to the new icons. I don't see why it's such a deal breaker. Also, what forums have we added? Since IPB, all that has changed is that seeds is a separate forum now, along with the merging of the support site with the forums (Moderator Applications and Support sections). I only see those three, not a billion.
I agree. I do like the new revamped profile pages though. Search is bad too. Theme is ok. I REALLY like the homepage, makes a cool place to find new Minecraft news (second to Notch's Twitter :3). Of course, no matter what they change, there will always be people complaining about it.
Yeah, the only changes I like is the profile and the homepage. I want the rest changed back...

Works on my ipod touch
At least the forum was more easy to use.. trolls will be trolls, we can just ignore them.
It *works* on mine, but it's insanely laggy when trying to type.

I have pretty bad internet and the site loads just fine for me. It's just as fast as phpBB was.
Search works fine for me... It's better than phpBB when we didn't have search at all because it was so buggy.
Nope. I just Googled "Quandary texture pack", clicked on the link, and it brought me straight to the forum page. Works fine.
