    Where have you been the last few years? If we've learned anything about the 10C we know they do everything internally (whether or not they have the knowledge or experience), out source nothing, botch up 1/2 the implementation, never admit they did anything wrong or that outside expertise could have helped, and perform slight updates or improvements that never really fix the initial problems and then we all live with the mistakes.

    In short, unless you're offering your time or expertise, it'll be about 3 years before someone who works at 10C figures out how to program the new platform and the issues are fixed.

    you're welcome for the synopsis. :)>-

    Oh I've been here...and know exactly what you're talking about. Shit...I'd redo the fucker for free just so I could enjoy it again. :)

    Maybe this change is a step towards phasing out the message board. Drive folks to social media. I don't think it is true but the thought crossed my mind.

    Todd McFarlane did just that at his Spawn site.

    I must be the only one who likes the new layout. I'm really not finding it difficult too use or read posts and using it on my smartphone is 100% better than it used too be. Everytime Facebook or Twitter changes stuff there is uproar but give it a few weeks and everyone gets used to it and stops complaining.

    You aren't the only one. I didn't like it at first but am really okay with it now. Font could be a little bigger, but not that big of deal in the end. I can still get the news I want. I am sorry to those who really hate it. Maybe they will change a few things you are suggesting to make it better for you.

    It makes some sense, but I'm not ever going to get a Facebook or any social media account so I hope it doesn't go that way. Probably don't need to post so much on a band's message board either I guess.

    Dear 10 Club,

    Please listen and take into consideration the heartfelt comments that Dimitris has written to profoundly express what a large majority of us are thinking about the new Forum.

    That white background is burning my eyes. I used to read the old forum quite a bit but can't look at this for more than a few minutes.

    Change the background colour!

  • I agree with Dimi. I'm glad someone took the time to articulate this thought.

    The overhaul of the site makes this place difficult to navigate. It's difficult to weed through the forum. The layout is jarring, and not just because the background is white (but that is a huge negative in my book). In the current layout, it's easier to read the user's name than their posts, and that's a big problem. Text is jumbled together. (Is that the end of their posts? A list of their shows? A random quote? Their signature?) Bottom line is ... I don't like coming to this place anymore ... and that really sucks.

    Please fix this layout.

  • Please fix the white background for free if anything. That is all we ask.
  • Have to agree with Dimitris. I don't post much here although I like to check into PJ land often. Can't say I've been too excited to check in lately. Definitely a step back instead of a step forward.

  • ....maybe I am the only one and maybe you wanna bash me now, but I just don't agree!

    We don't own this place, even if we pay good money for benefits (+ bootlegs -p.s.always thanks for my boots, they just keep me walking and walking...)

    This place belongs to Pearl Jam and Ten Club, it's their life achievement. It is them who created this place and we became part of this world due to the music we just love soooo much and out of all this we became friends here!
    And I think we should not forget about this relation!

    So, if this group of people thinks there had to be made changes around the board, for whatever reason,
    ...it is on us to give helpful advices to make it all work for the good (but please in a nice way as this is the common sense here) and
    .. it is on us to keep the great spirit of it all and carry it around to this place, all based on this wonderful music.

    sorry, but after all this discussion, I just wanted to make this point.
    good day to everyone, n.
    and VIVA Pear Jam ;)
    there is no way to peace, peace is the way!
    ...the world is come undone, I like to change it everyday but change don't come at once, it's a wave, building before it breaks.

    as someone who has worked in IT for over 15 years and has done hundreds of upgrades over the years.....I almost never get compliments. :)

    Why did you do this to us? Why did we change? The old system was better. the new system sucks. What was wrong with the old way. etc. etc.

    I feel your pain Ten Club and can sympathise. All you can do is take some lumps, listen to the feedback and make changes where your can.

    Good Luck!
  • Really miss the old forum.

    There were issues with the old one. This one seems faster and I dont seem to have to log on many times a day.

    Aesthetically though this board is absolutely hideous.

    I am not on social media, so I really hope that isn't what this forum is leading to...

    You're on a message board. So yes, you do use social media.
