    I think the old site was easier to read. This all white is very hard. I thought the colour sceme of the old board was much easier to read. When you look at the page outlining which forums there are it loks like a big mess. It's hard reading the threads too..

    Maybe it would nice if the site was more customizable (different skins and layouts) to make it easier to read.

    The white is very bright and hard I agree. The old was comfortable. But this new forum opens it to all.

    Assuming 10c is looking for feedback, here are my problems:

    Why only an hour to edit?? That's going to mess up some threads where updates in the OP are required - there are a lot of those.

    This new forum is giving me a headache. It's SO hard on the eyes! And I am sad about all the good smilies being gone. :(

    Also, the avatars are tiny. It's really hard to tell who's who. It's going to be hard to scroll through a page to find a particular person's post.

    Why is the number of posts people have so prominent? That's kind of weird, and doesn't look very nice. It's bolder than the person's name!

    I am finding it impossible to really explore because this is hard to use on my phone and i don't have a computer at home.

    Is there a way to limit number of posts per page? If the lack of separation between posts remains, there are way too many posts per page to scroll through without going cross-eyed.



    I love that we can embed videos though (not yet sure if i can on a phone or not...). I'm sure there would be other things i could say i liked if any of the extra features were big enough on my phone's screen to read.

    If you make this all MUCH easier to look at it could be good. Right now, no. It's unpleasant.

    I don't always wear my sunglasses while sitting at the computer, but when I do...I'm reading the PJ forums. Mercy.

    Oh and the 'connect' to social media (facebook and twitter) is not working...yet.

    I really hope there are more changes to come. This blows. I haven't tried on my PC. Maybe it's better??

    And it looks like I am getting email notifications of new posts every single time someone posts in a subscribed thread. Oh god, that stinks. Just today i was saying how getting a notification with each new post instead of just one until you visit the thread again is a horrible Facebook feature, and now this forum is doing it too. Please fix that!

    Going to take some getting used to, but after reading the 5 pages leading up to this I must say, the white background is hard on the eyes.

    The white background could be dialed down a little.
    Just an honest paid response.

    Very hard to read. Tough to pick out the actual posts from the ridic long signatures. Please go back, or go to something better.

    Please stand by…for a change in our forums!

    The new Pearl Jam forums will have new features we think you'll love.

    what was so wrong about the old board that such a drastic change happened anyway?

    Also, besides being able to embed a video, please, what other features are there that you think we will love?

    I also notice there is nowhere for us to note our ages/birthdays. So that very nice feature of being able to wish other members a happy birthday is no more. That sucks.
