Not a fan of the new forum look...

[CompactTractorFan]

Is it just me? Or is the grey reply to thread button not working? I have to click the reply button on a post with the arrow.

Edit: It's just the bottom button. The top one is working just fine for me.

It is not just you. Mine is not working either.

Too bright and "Reply to Thread" doesn't work. Bugs in a new system is not unusual I am sure.

Same here, but it seems to work intermittently for me.

Is anyone having problems with the Spell Check icon?

Spelchek? What's that? I guess there isn't an icon on mobile devices because they spellcheck automagically.

Just can't leave good enough alone.

I would agree after being on just 20 minutes, hopefully it gets easier, but now it seems like "if it aint broke, fix it anyway" The over all look and feel seems, well, boring

I agree. I liked how the forum was in the good old days. Like it was last week.:laughing:

I realize that a lot of hard work goes into keeping this type of site up and running. But, I have to ask, what was wrong with the format of the old site?? It worked fine and was easy to read and to use IMHO. I am not a youngster anymore and with progressive lenses in my glasses font size and the ability to easily read what is up on the screen is critical. The new site format is much harder for me to read and use in comparison with the old format. Other sites (fishing sites for example) have changed their format style too and are also harder for me to read. I guess the new is better notion is carrying the day. Still, thanks for the hard work that keeps a site like this up an running. Tractor on!

Call me old fashioned but I like the old forum look better, just my 2 cents worth....Mike

I liked the old one better also.

I really don't like the quick navigation. Under the old format it was faster than using the back button to go back under the same forum to the list of threads. Now it just takes me back to the 1st page of the thread I'm looking at. Also I liked that if you wanted to jump forums it started to list from the forum you were in, now every time I have to scroll through all of them.

Nothing seems to stand out like it did before. The colors are so light everything "looks more like options that don't work", they seem to work.

I know these take time and it is a lot of work. I just hope we can get back closer to the old system or make this more user friendly.

Sorry guys, but I like it. It is more in line with most forums formats these days. I have a widescreen and don't have any issues.
Give it time, you will grow to like it. :thumbsup:

I think we're going to need a new white-space thread because now the forum has a HUGE chunk of white-space to the right. I know it's reserved for ads, but isn't 1/3 of the screen a bit much? Some of us block ads for maximum speed and screen real-estate which leaves a HUGE void of nothing. Here is how it appears on one of my computers, the white-space is shown in red (added by me) to highlight the amount of space it occupies.

And it's funny but I just noticed that the new banner background resembles a zipper. I know it's an R4 tire tread pattern, but still... is it a tractor forum or a sewing forum? :laughing:

Just hit Ctrl and + keys to make the font larger. See if that helps
