I just became a member in October and loved the Forum! This is the first time I've been on it I over a week because I hate the new layout! It hurts my eyes and it's confusing. The old layout was easy to read...

As I said else where, with a few basic lessons a computer dummy like me could create a better layout than this.
-Color contrast is too bright. Bad for the eyes! -New smilies are super dorky -Post are confusing- they should be boxed and should have better isolation of signatures. -Messages center is way more confusing.
I know, bitch bitch and more bitch. Hells bells, why do I like this place so much? Argggggghhhhhhh! (But I do.)

has anyone been on Soundgardens forum? Since the change I mean? Kat and Sea moderate over there too. I wonder if they made this horrendous change there too
edit, the used to mod over there when SG came back online. Not the case anymore.
edit v 2.0 seems the time limit has been removed for edits?

That's a good question, and I'm actually afraid to look and see. My entire account is screwed up ever since the new format. How that happened is beyond me. Well my 10 min limit is up and time for me to get off here before headache kicks in....

Also, anyone worked out how you're supposed to search for old threads? Where's the search function. I tried the thing at the top left of the page, but it doesn't work.
I had signatures turned off on the old board and quickly turned them off on this one. Improved things here a lot.
The white is too bright but as long as I use my phone or a tablet I am getting used to the new layout. As soon as I look at the board on a computer though...ugh. Still hideous.

I just did the same thing looking up an old thread still not able to find anything. There's a search bar on the far left and tried that and naturally it didn't work either. Maybe you'll have better luck.

is it time for a strike ? could we all go 30 days without loging onto pj ? tare down the walls !!!!!! )

Maybe it will explode on its own like a hot field of popcorn! )
I don't think this group of fans could ever get that organized, GF. And I don't think we should expect much more to change here for quite a while. Maybe next time the layout is changed they will hire someone with better credentials and forethought. Let's face it, this design flat-out sucks.

It's at least third for me. The first is random seating for rows 1&2, the second is not being able to get a Wrigley ticket when I've been a member for twenty years, in my home location no less.
But yeah, it's random.

I did and I appreciate the efforts of those who suggest the color inversion but it didn't work for me. I uninstalled Greasemonkey pretty much right away. The previous format was never difficult on my eyes. I can't remember how it was different, I just know it was never a problem. The light blue and lack of boxes around posts have a lot to do with making this new layout unappealing. I just kind of dash in here and back out again. It's just not comfortable to read either this way or with the inverted color via Greasemonkey.

Are you using Firefox? If Greasemonkey installed no problem, the 2nd link should have worked, no problem.
I can only take 15 minutes being before I have leave. I gather this white layoff may coincide with the flash of a Lightening Bolt. That maybe cool concept for the powers that be but BRUTAL on the eyes.

Yes, I'm using Firefox. I did the down loads and switch back and forth between the two options. White is blinding, black was worse for me. The most sensible solution would be to eliminate the surrounding white with a softer grey, place a box around the posts (like the one you see while typing before hitting Post Comment") and change out the bright blue for something easier on the eyes. I don't know much about web design but I'd be willing to bet there are at least 5000 techies out there who could make these changes without an trouble.
I hope someone out there with a little pull is reading all this.
Dear 10C,
We're not happy with this new design. Please make it better. Thanks.

The only positive thing that happened since this new layout came out was now I have a photo on here.
It's also a bit more "user friendly" but the color makes me want to pull out my eyeballs...

I still fucking hate this shit. I rarely even bother to log on anymore. I used to enjoky the debates here. now I hope I don't read something that sparks my interest because I don't want to be in here for longer than 5 minutes.
