Reminds me of Football Manager for some reason. It's good though. A bit like when facebook changes, in a couple of weeks everyone will love it and not remember what the old one was like.

 

Agree, I've already changed my mind, it's alright actually innit :)

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHERE IS THE MOTHER F*CKING ARCADE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Seriously ?

That'll return shortly - the existing arcade is incompatible with the new version of the forum, but I think there is an updated arcade that does work - just haven't had time to put that in place yet.

Is it possible to revert to a 'work-safe' (less garish, nothing to do with 'work') skin? I don't like different colours all at once. Fighting for a homogenous forum (Britain).

 

good shout. Hopefully one that hides avatars as well, the amount of times i've been caught at work looking at this...with MB's old avatar bobbing up and down on the screen.

The best way to get a work-safe view of the forum is to use the "Archive" feature, which you can find from the footer menu bar.

 

I think this new look is an improvement in terms of the garish colour use, there's certainly not as much colour used overall.

do NOT like............

 

especially do not like how the players don't quite fit in the banner at the top....

 

i also do not like having over 10,000 posts, expecially since i got to about 7,000 before and got them wiped back to 0. I need to get a ****ing life.

 

Any chance of a bullet pointed 'what has changed' or 'whats new' like the coloured envelopes, what they all about? Unread, read and replied to? In what order?

 

Granty out!

Looks fine to me... any chance of a screenshot to demonstrate?

The read ones are in red, unread in blue (although I find it easier to spot unread threads because the thread title is bold). Replied threads have a green arrow in the bottom corner.

 

Other new features:

:: Better news functionality (I don't have to force Wordpress to work with vBulletin)

:: User blogs for full members (with a "Blog This Post" feature which allows you to convert a forum post directly into a blog)

:: Stats section with player profiles, fixtures, results, lineups, league tables and ground guides.

 

Those are the main things, I think.

in google chrome, Lamberts shoulder is out the red bit

 

ill screenshot but cant attach on ere can i?

Do you have quite a small resolution screen? It should fit in most windows comfortably (think it's 1200px wide).

 

nooo! I lost my arcade high scores??? Damn you Grant. Damn you to hell

They're still in the database, hopefully the new arcade software will pick them up.

Didn't take to it initially but like people have said, it's similar to the changes on Facebook etc.

 

Once you get used to it, it's really quite impressive.

 

However, I have some reservations about the new banner too, just doesn't look right for some reason, not sure why!?

It seems you can no longer go straight to the latest post in a thread. It just goes to the opening post and you have to scroll down. :(

Should still work fine, if the URL has something like #post757304 at the end, it should jump to that post once the page has finished loading.
