I'm really enjoying the new forums look. I am still getting used to them, but it seems like you guys are rolling out a complete redo of the whole site. I saw the new homepage, but the new forum look was a welcome surprise, and it is running well in Chrome, Firefox from what I have seen.

I also notice Marco and Davo have brought the new look to the site Big Smile

I'm getting used to it too, but it was a bit of a surprise when I followed a link from a FeedBlitz email.

Good work guys! I noticed that the "active users" list is now longer so it'll be easier for me to make Stick out tongue

I also feel that the site is loading faster, but I cannot be sure Surprise

This new site should definitely be faster..lot's of optimizing, fewer ads, fewer graphics, etc.

Sweet. So far I like it. Can't wait to see it on my desktop. By the way I can now log on and post via my Blackberry. Don't know why I can now on this new version and not the old site. I am just glad it's working now.

I'm sure it was optimized for mobile handhelds.  The only thing that is confusing me is that the post button is now on the left.

Found an issue...when you add a hyperlink it won't be underlined or marked in a different color, it seems to blend into the text as a lighter shade of grey.  Here's an example...

www.google.com

 

[edit] Found another issue...You can't post comments on the main page for news articles.  There's no button, it just says Post a Comment.

wow. this is the first I have seen it on the desktop. Pulled a 13 hour day at work today. I love the new look and everything loads so much faster. So far out of all the many upgrades I have seen over the years this one has to be the best. great job guysYes
