    ... why

    What was the point of getting the new layout?

    I used to be on a different forum (not reptile related) that was fine. Then they got this layout...

    Ruined the site. Hardly anyone even posts now and it *stinks* because it was one of the most popular forums around that I know of...

    It just makes stuff more complicated.

    Plus I dont have a hot-rod layout now.

    What does everyone else think of it?
    There was probably already a discussion about it. I dont know.

    Re: ... why

    Well the original templates had to go, they were not combatable. As stated a few times, they are working on new ones.

    If a forum goes under because of a template change, I wouldn't blame the new template..................

    Re: ... why

    I think there's more postings now than before the change, but that's just how it seems to me. It's no more complex that I can tell, except that when I want to go to the chatbox, I have to hit the general "forums" and scroll down. I liked having a jump button to the chatbox.

    Otherwise, all the steps to post threads, search for new posts, etc, are all the same that I can tell. And they are working on new themes.

    The old style used to lock up on me almost every day at work. This one doesn't, so far. There are a few bugs here-and-there, but I am sure they will work them out soon.

    Re: ... why

    I like it a lot better, to be honest. The old layout was rather outdated, and I was irritated when I first joined at how much more I had to do to get things to work like they did on the forums I frequent elsewhere. But this is all my opinion, and I can understand why someone who'd be used to the old way would dislike changes

    Re: ... why

    Upgrades are more than visual changes, when you run a board that is as popular as this there are security concerns with back-end coding holes, and stability concerns.

    I like the visual changes, and I appreciate the staff for taking the time in making sure the site is the best it can be.

    Re: ... why

    Yeah...the only thing I don't really like about it is that I use IE and the postings didn't work well...It seems to be better/fixed now though! The only thing I don't like about the new "style" or layout (whatever you want to call it) is that there seems to be a lot more empty space now. Maybe it's just in IE...
