ok,seriously..what we waititng to change??so be better??
i dont see the lost data to come back..so bye bye pms,bye bye friend list,bye bye outbox-sent message..
the activity gossip shit???no way..this new forum build on the notification thing,so activity is connected with that..
block someone to write on your wall??not see happens,maybe can add delete option..
maybe the 10c can help those lost their username??i dont see it happen,they start all over again..maybe they can help the ones wait for solution and didnt change their usernames already..
maybe they can help the ones cant log in..seerms this is possible
and what left??to make the forum easy to read with that staring in the sun white thing..
maybe they can add something fancy ,like open new thread and smell like flower in your room..
thats all folks..

I don't know what they will or won't bring in or fix. They very well may let us delete things posted to our walls, or shut that whole feature down, or not. Who knows? .... No, I don't think you will get your friends list or PMs back.... So now what? I totally understand why you're pissed off Dimitris, but what exactly are you looking for at this point? They have obviously seen your complaints. I think they are still working on the site and we will continue to see some improvements. Will it go back to what it was? No. That's been made clear. Will the loss and inconvenience that some have dealt with be reversed? No. So.... it's either wait and be patient and see what it becomes, and get over what was lost, or never come to the forum again. It's your and everyone's choice. I personally think abandoning the boards is an overreaction, especially when they are clearly slowly making improvements, even if people are mad about the PMs and shit. You know I'm not happy about any of this either, but I frankly don't have the negative emotional energy to stay pissed off about it indefinitely.

yep..all the good things we lost,gone,i suck it already..
atleast i hope they can fix the white thing so all can read easy and no need to be at IT guy to fix things,or need to google to find solution for this hard to read thing..
what pisses my off the last days is that i see from comments they made this work for specific way to be here,mobiles or browzers,and the rest ,pray for the best...
not to mention..adroid app version coming soon,its a promise...
they could fix that first you know.before they make once again,something works better only and for iphones

If they don't change the background at some point I'll be disappointed.
I find that the forum works really well on my Android now as far as posting goes. It was HORRIBLE before. There are a lot of features and info missing from the Android view, but since posting was so insanely frustrating before, I prefer it now anyway. I do hope they get back some of the info missing on that view though, like who posted a thread or who the last replier was.

I honestly wouldnt expect a fan club website for a band to announce they plan on changing the website.

I would expect any board I frequent to announce big changes to the community before they take place. It is simply common courtesy. It doesn't matter if it is a paid board or a free board, it is the members that makes a particular board a success or a failure. I do and have frequented many boards, and this is the ONLY place I go where the users/members are thought so little of that no communication was made, and that lack of communication continues even after they know that people want to hear from them.

Thats fair enough, like i said i dont visit other forums so i guess thats why i dont expect any communication.

I just think I never get communication when facebook, twitter or ebay change the format and that doesnt bother me in the slightest, so why would I for a bands message board.

I mostly use the forum on my laptop and have found the following to help with reading the forum (I'm on a Mac using Safari, but it might be doable on other browsers)
Go to View>Customize Toolbar
Drag the zoom icons to your toolbar.
Next time you get to the forum, just press the larger A and the type will get to a readable size.

Not much about the background, but my eyes don't hurt as much.

I hope this helps.

I think it's that blazing blue ON white that is hurting our eyes. Maybe we should be screaming for them to get rid of that fucking turquoise colour instead.

I also think that the deisgn is a lot busier, not just with the blue, but with such a busy sidebar. We don't really need to see how many comments/threads each forum has.
Such a big header for each comment instead of the avatar to the right distracts the reader from the important thing, the message.

And that (crazy blue) sidebar always being there sucks. I hate that. There is no need for it within the threads.

See, i actually like that, find it useful to click into a thread and can easily go to another forum. I dont care about online users but the different forums i like

Fair enough... it it were a different colour that didn't scream at me I might feel differently about it.

Nope, clearing the cache didn't help. It's still the same size, and too small...
