    well put, dimi...

    I do feel that the plan is and has always been to eventually customize this to make it both easier to read and more "Pearl Jammy"

    I think that's what Kat was referring to in the new board discussion post:

    "There will be an adjustment period while we all learn how to navigate around and discover the new features and how things work. Hang in there and enjoy the experience of discovery with us!"

    We're still in beta mode, basically.

    I agree Dimi.

    It's a new house, and we're supposed to figure it out and learn how to get around.
    I won't be spending much time at 'home' now.
    The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.

    I definitely echo his concerns. I also kind of feel that this is the beginning of the end....

    For the most part I agree with D's post - this place is like a 'home' of sorts because of the amount of time we spend here. However I don't think there's a chance that they will be going back to the old forum. 10C wouldn't have invested the time and money to have this new layout developed and implemented just to scrap it after a couple of days.

    That's not to say that this is the finished version though. Yes, the font is way too small and the background is so bright that it genuinely hurts your eyes at times but there is the likely possibility this is a trial and they are still working on things. For example one of the first things I noticed and raised on Saturday was that the "View Your Posts" option had gone. When I checked in today the "Participated" button had been added so it looks like things are still being tweaked.

    It will be interesting to see if there is a response from Kat or Sea this week. I sincerely hope that 10C take on board all of the valid points and objections that have been raised by many of the members and we start to see improvements or changes to the layout soon.

    Can you please make it easier to read and maybe make avatars a little bigger. I finally got one and it's so small (my avatar) and I always have to turn the brightness down on my screen every time I come here.

    go back to old forum design, but let us keep the polls and the videos, I fully support everything Dimitri said and think his comments are appropriate

    The brightness makes me wish I was blind in both eyes!! Very sad.. Lease hurry up and either fix this or change it!! My cousin works inVanilla Software and he says we shouldn't be dealing with such simple issues, that all this can be customized down to individuals setting their own fonts.. I'm waiting for him to send me a link to HIS network site site I am able topmost an example. He says a two year old can run it... But he a narcisist too do don't take that personally.. None the less.. Please figure this out soon.. The headaches are excruciating !!

    I was in the making of something similar. Now, I guess I scrap all that text. Nice writing Dimi!

    I guess I don't understand the negativity. For me nothing has really changed other than the color scheme. Obviously this is a new setup and there are bugs being worked out but to say that the forum has changed so much that you're going to reduce the amount of time that you spend here? I don't know, I don't see it being that different. Or at least different enough to be that unhappy about it.

    gotta agree with Dimitris. I find myself coming to these boards less and less. Maybe 10c is trying to weed out the masses even more? Is this no code part two?

    Post of the year - thanks D!

    Although I feel this is like the scene off The Simpsons episode Flaming Moe, when Homer is yelling at Moe "You've just lost yourself a customer..."

    I agree 100% with everybody. Used to spend my whole work day browsing and posting but not so much anymore. Is it just me or my browser but everything seems to be a line down the left border and that edge is cut off. Anybody else having this happen? Also, is there a way to get your active threads back? Or do I have to search for the all individually?
