I've read several threads about the likes / dislikes of the new / old forums. I'm not sure if it is the color, the layout, the newness as opposed to the familiarity of the old or what. Can we discuss / post specific ideas on both sides of the topic and at least give the administrators / web designers some ideas of where we are coming from? Lets help them help us and post specific details / ideas / likes / dislikes and quit "shotgunning" the subject.

Three examples

Submitted by Bill Z. on Thu, 2009-10-29 06:36.

Good suggestion.

The whole look and feel is different. It is hard to state exactly what was bettter about the old layout, but I can give three examples of what I would like to see changed:

On the Chat Forum main page, the "created" and "last reply" columns do not have blank lines seperating them like the old style had. This makes it harder to read.

With the old software after you typed your comments you could either post or preview them. Now you have to preview, then post which is an extra step.

With the old layout you could see who wrote each entry. Now you can see who wrote comments to the main entry of a thread but you have to go back to the main forum page to see who started the thread.

Just my $.02 worth.

My 2 cents

I don't like how the comments come up in these boxes with the first line of the comment as subject. I also think there needs to several spaces between the "submitted by" and the first line of the comment. Sometimes it seems to close. JMO

New VS Old

I am never sure if the 'New Comment is to the orginal question or the comment above.
Also what's with this 'New Comment' I have not seen any reference to 'Old Comment' So why not just say 'Comment' then there is no chance of mixing comment with a new thread.
Also what's with this 'reply', reply to whom?
I agree with the original statement, we cannot ever go back so let's make this site the best. Like the old one was.
