got to say guys am all up for progress but danny......this site is like windows compared to mac mate.....to fussy and complicated for its own good. In my(rather negative, boo) opinion it's a step backwards from the more simpler and easier to read old layout.
 
I must admit ..... it has a very clinical look about it, very clean and sharp which in my opinion makes it look less friendly .. the old forum had a freindly feel about it.

I am sure there are many benefits to this new platform but can we give it a softer feel ?
 
yeah I see that its a clean feel

I still have a long way to go to get it the way I think it needs to be.

I think its very simple to use and when I get the profile pages sorted there will be a lot more functionality.

I'm doing the best I can to make the move as easy as possible if you saw what I started with you would be impressed (i hope) with what it looks like now

Danny

PS keep the opinions coming I will do my best to make everybody happy
 
yep I know the icons are crap ... I will be getting some custom plastering related ones when I get the other bits working...

Welcome by the way...

it feels too luminecent, i cant find the smileys, i wanted to say no to a thread and it said it must contain 10 characters, i liked the old style where you knew there was a new post in the section i was interested in apart from that we can swear which is f**k**g alreeet like
 
the smilies are in the go advanced so where you click reply look along teh bottom and look for go advanced.....

I have been using the whats new button the top that works well.

When I get the new graphics it will be obvious that there are new posts in forums

I am working flat out trying to get everything perfect give it time it will be perfect

Danny
 
Just a few things, you cant see who is viewing a thread unless you scroll to the bottom, having it at the top like the old site is better, like youve just said its hard to notice what is a new thread, having the mods names the same colour as everyone else is a great idea ;) Dont worry i will pick holes in it just need to find my way round and everything looks s**t at first i remember the first time i used a handboard and thought this is gonna be slower than a machine but once you get used to it you will find its better. :)
 
yep I have a list of things that need doing....

I will sort out the rankings and names etc thats not high up on teh list just yet...lol

Danny

PS thanks all the feedback is good
 
Thanks for helping me to get on the new site danny,will the new site get to no 1 on the google rankings as the old site did as you have to put .com on the end to get to the new one
By the way well done on the change over.
 
a .com will always have the edge over a .co.uk domain but I done it more for branding... and yes we will hopefully still have top spot in google.

The change has gone ok Hollybank still got a few bugs to iron out and I have request list as long as my arm but I am sure I will get them all soon.

Took me 12 pints of Stella to get logged in, but looks good so far ,well i`m looking at 3 screens, and the rooms moving.
 
Once i have read a thread, how do i get back to page i was on.i`m having a Nisus moment here.

Back page button in windows extreme top left of the page.

I have my thumb button assigned to back page on my mouse, its quicker and less mither and far lazier :)
 
lol I am working on it I have an admin panel the size of BT's switch board. I am sure I will find the potion for spell check soon

You like the new quick reply box? I did that at 4am...lol

Danny
 
Yes it's errr....quicker lol

Still can't add smilies even on advanced just adds it to top of message title :/
