I don't like it. I don't like it at all. Usually I don't have a problem when a site moves to a new layout- I was all for it when Youtube updated, for instance. But this...this is bad. It's a step backwards. Even if you could get over the looks, it's slow and counter-intuitive. I don't think I will be able to get used to this one. I've only been on here for a bit, reading through this thread, and my eyes hurt. Literally- they're beginning to water as I write this, mainly because I'm focusing on such a small, bright area. This is not good.
And why, for the love of God, would you get rid of the BBCode edit buttons? They were one of my favorite features. And now "rich text"? Please. This makes things harder, not easier, imo.
I could go on- about the text size, the unnecessary spacing, the plain ugly black bar at the top, and the fact that nothing matches (some things are too round, others too square; the text is a range of sizes; the colors are terrible)- but I'll stop. No one wants to read that anyway. Honestly, though, this is really frustrating.
[too tired to read whole thread, sorry if these were mentioned] my main problems of the thread are mainly the asthetics. but also my spellcheck doesn't work, i had to reupload my avatar, long posts are cut off unless you press edit and resave. some more things: the box at the bottom saying who's on has been removed, and the new thread block was replaced with one showing threads that were already popular and easily findable. nobody will see a new thread unless it's bumped by the writer enough, and that's against forum rules. and it's not any faster than it used to be.

No, I'm not some n00b that makes there username have to do with the game they're playing. There were no Endermen in Alpha. N00bs.

click the light switch icon in the edit box to toggle live version and edit version. The BBcode buttons are only available in the Live version unfortunately (nothing we can do about that I'm afraid)
I think the new forum change is bull****. They used to update the video system every 5 o'clock every morning, and 4 in the afternoon, now they don't ever update it.
Make sure the avatar you are uploading isn't bigger then 150x150 and smaller then 250kb

So, the same restrictions apply, despite being said to be greater? Confusing, but thanks for the info.
Hmm, it seems the image I want to post is 80kb, and 100x100, but is still not working.
That is not the one I am trying to upload, I just went with this as a place-holder.
Maybe I just need to play with the settings a bit more and get a feel for the new setup.
Profile pic gone.
There is no insert emiticons or format options in the post editor/replier, just plain text.
When people post on my profile, they all showup under my name and avatar.
When I try to change my avatar, the dialogue to upload never shows up.

Really, what?
Have you tried first removing the current photo before uploading another? Not sure if it would help but that's what I did when I fixed my avatar.
Some of you people are simply insufferable. It's a forum, not a luxury communication tool. New software comes out, and things change, and nothing can be done about it. Get over it. Stop bitching. It's like people wondering why major television comanies aren't still mass producing vacuum tubes for their 1950's television set. Well, they support that anymore, just like the old forum software wouldn't be supported anymore.
Please Bring back the following things;
1. Time at bottom of page: Its really annoying if your in a different timezone to the Forum, you cant tell how long ago someone posted because thier post has a forum time at the top
2. Bring back the list of who is watching this post: Its really annoying for RP topics if you dont know who is participating
3. Bring back the little Notification of whether people are online/offline that sits in the bar with the post number, its annoying having to go to thier user profile page just to see if they are online or not...
This is all I ask, then the forums will be fine by my standards
...Please revert the forums back to it's old state...
And how? Most if not all of the changes in the new 'forum' wasn't made by Curse, it's by iP.Board. They're just upgrading the software to a newer version. 'Reverting' back to the 'old state' means that they have to 'downgrade', and if I read correctly jefe posted that the *old* version support is going to end soon, which means that if there are more bugs found they're not going to be fixed. That and I think it's not plausible.
Profile pic gone. Profile pic and avatar are merged into one. 'Too much overlaps'.
There is no insert emiticons or format options in the post editor/replier, just plain text. Try clicking that 'Toggle editing mode' on the top-left part (the icon that looks like a switch)
When people post on my profile, they all showup under my name and avatar. I don't get this one
When I try to change my avatar, the dialogue to upload never shows up. I don't think I have this problem
Please Bring back the following things;
1. Time at bottom of page: Its really annoying if your in a different timezone to the Forum, you cant tell how long ago someone posted because thier post has a forum time at the top If you use Chrome there's an extension for that...but then again.
2. Bring back the list of who is watching this post: Its really annoying for RP topics if you dont know who is participating Huh, I thought that still existed..but that was yesterday
3. Bring back the little Notification of whether people are online/offline that sits in the bar with the post number, its annoying having to go to thier user profile page just to see if they are online or not... Agreed

I'm leaving the forum, if anyone cared. You can find me on OC or FFR.
Even just the Online/Offline Notifier in the post No. bar would be nice.
Though the users watching this page Section down the bottom would be ideal, i read that it caused lagg issues...
i want the old forum design. the new design is too transparent and why did you changed the "new topics" bar to "active topics"? anyways, the old forum was better
They're still using it though, that's my point.
And why, for the love of God, would you get rid of the BBCode edit buttons? They were one of my favorite features. And now "rich text"? Please. This makes things harder, not easier, imo.

Honestly, I can't seem to get anything to work besides this one.
I get used to a lot of things quickly and have low standards though, I don't get why people hate a lot of things, haha.
I just want to change my avatar, I like the new setup, really. MCF won't accept anything but this one, now.
No, I'm not some n00b that makes there username have to do with the game they're playing. There were no Endermen in Alpha. N00bs.

Worst. Decision. EVER.

Side note: I seem to be experiencing this...
...in almost every thread I post in. I figured it's better to bring it up than to assume it's already known.
