    What if the forum has become sentient? What if its got Santos and Kat bound up with wires? What if the new forum is actually EVIL?

    It is a horrible mess on a PC.

    The first thing they could do is make it fill the full width of the screen (and I don't mean by Ctrl + to make the text enormous). And that goes for the whole site, not just the forum.

    They wanted to slow the train down. Get rid of some of the crowd.

    I said something similar in other posts. It's gotta make you wonder...

    I can't come up with any reason as to why they would want to do that. I think they really thought it would make things better for the members.... which is a bit disturbing. Kind of reflects a level of cluelessness that surprises me.

    Ok, here's my two pennies...

    This new board is very hard on the eyes, and very hard on the brain.

    I just googled four band official forums which I have never been to before. I found all of them immediately easy to navigate and view. Any of these designs would be a good option, if they don't want to return to the old style.

    Feel free to click on some of these forums and give your opinion on here, or to include more. I'm trying to make it easy for 10c to look at alternatives to this new board.

    There is no reason that the PJ board needs to be so crazy looking, unless they are trying to decrease current users, and scare away future new users.

    Here are 4 alternative design ideas:

    You gotta wonder why who's in charge and why they won't communicate with the members...

    Some people are approaching some very thin ice. If you'd like to comment on the forum change, that's fine. Rude comments about people, Ten Club, Band, other employees of the band are NOT ok. See the Posting Guidelines to preserve posting privileges.

    You're right. Sorry for my comment. I'm just confused.

    Were you around in 1994 on the AOL boards when that place was huge? That "board" locked up at 500 posts...and that happened a LOT. :x And were you around in 1998 for our first official forum? That one broke all the time...but we had an official place to talk about our favorite band's music and tours and etc. I'm sorry some people are unhappy but this is our forum now. We'll work on it being a really nice place where people can connect, on computer and mobile devices. :x

    Great, but will there be changes to the main things that people are complaining about? How it's so hard to look at and is giving people actual headaches? And the limited editing time? I realize 10C isn't going back to the old one, but can we expect these kinds of improvements? Or is THIS as it is today your forum now? I think people just really want to know if these basic glaring problems will be addressed.

    If a simple change to the background color was made, that would alleviate about 75% of the complaints on the new board.
    And so you see, I have come to doubt
    All that I once held as true
    I stand alone without beliefs
    The only truth I know is you.

    I can't read the forums for more than a few minutes without having the feeling I'm staring into the sun. It's too bright!

    This really is the biggest thing Kat. Why can't you guys address this #1 complaint?

    How do you know? No one from 10C has said anything about fixing the blinding colours. That's why I asked Kat.
