Man, I go to sleep on an aircraft carrier for a couple of days and all hell breaks loose! I thought I was on the wrong site for a minute. My 200 lira....

1) I like the clean look. I'm a high-res user and this looks very nice.

2) I don't like the purely horizontal layout. The Avatar and user info should be all together on the left, with the message text inline and to the right. That way you "get to know someone" at a glace, avatar, joined, post count, quotables, etc. With this layout you have to scan across the top of each post.

3) Multiple pics BIG THUMBS UP!

4) A little notice and a preview might have been kinder, but hey it's your board and this is fine too.

I'll have to check out some of the other features, but those are my first impressions from just a few minutes on the site, and first impressions are usually the best feedback in my experience. Thanks Rob!

I think I like this.

 

Hmmm...after using the site the new way for a day or so, Im gtting used to it. Im now a lot more comfortable.

Is it just me, or are the pages loading faster? On my cable connection at home the fastest Id get on this site is maybe 130Kb/sec, but with the new software Ive been seeing around 190Kb/sec. Very nice.

 

Its good!

I see we can post multiple images, something we really needed. I'm happy you didn't kept the quick links menu under each post. (a bit annoying)

Anyway I prefered the old f-chat but just give me time to adjust and I'm sure this new layout will be just as fine as the other ones.

 

WOAH! I am pleasantly BLOWN AWAY by the increased usability of the board.

As a software geek with a penchant for good design, usability, and interaction, I knew within a few minutes of using the board that it was a HUGE LEAP FORWARD in terms of these areas.

Everything is layed out better. Detail shines through: boxes around clickable the page numbers of longer threads, 3d panel effect of important "sections" (like this response section's panel is 3d/beveled), scrolling menus.

I'm very impressed.

Good to have the table width as a percentage again (so that it fills the screen reasonably).

One feature request, to prevent people from losing work. If somebody is replying to a thread, typing text, and they navigate away for whatever reason--clicked on back by accident or User CP for example--they'll lose whatever they were typing. A simple cancellable Javascript alert() confirming the navigate way from "Work in progress" would be awesome in this context.

i.e. if (alert("You're currently typing a message. Are you sure you want to navigate away?") { continue navigation away; } else { stay here; }

I also like that bold message subjects are used for unread messages. And of course, multiple pics is great!

Fantastic work!

 

Rob,

Site looks great and works fine, Not sure if any of us have posted here yet, But on their behalf, Thanks from all the UK users !

Cheers,

Steve

 

You dumb F**K! I never had anything personal against you. But I do now. You locked may account here because of your personal problem with JRV. That's not my problem. You're a pathetic small person. None of my posts have ever mentioned F-Talk or have I ever tried to incite a board war.

Oh, and get this through your simple little head. Biggest != Best. Never has, Never will!

 

on the pull down you get when you click on a user name, "Add .... to Ignore List" isn't an option. maybe it should be.

doody.

 

Personally,I like it Rob. I am a Fossil in the World of new Technology,"Roadkill on the Information Super Highway",if you will. When it changed a few months back. I didn't really like it at first. Seemed too crowded and busy...Intimidating to a new computer user,who was grown up,and doing other things,(Girls,Cars,etc... ) before the Video Game age began.. I whined about it a little,like alot of others did. But,soon got used to it. But,I like this right off the bat. Nice,easy,user friendly. Thanks alot for your continued effort. I appreciate it!

 

Its only been a day now but I like it. Alot. Its jsut all around better and easier to navigate and find new post.

 

Great, Wax; Thanks for saving me the trouble.

This is crazy. Its gonna take me a few days to adjust. But it looks nice.

 

Well it seems to me that most of the stuff I spotted immediately came back. Width, Navigation, etc.

I like the new popup menus they're cool.

My fave remark in this thread so far was:

good work Rob - keep up the fixes.

PS I like the new look of the "quote"!

 

Hahaha!

 

At first, I wasn't thrilled with the change, but it is growing on me.

My only complaint so far: the board seems to have slowed down a little. Other boards I've visited today are fast, so this seems to be Fchat related, and not internet in general related. Don't know what you can do about it, but hopefully it will speed up as you iron out the bugs.

Why is it all so huge now?, is it my Browser? suits my knackered old eyes but preferred the original sizes

 

Rob, the text on the old site would increase and decrease in size if you held control in and scrolled up or down. The new software doesnt have that feature I dont think.

That and those spaces between posts hehe

 

Rob

i'm running 1280 x 854 ??

 

I find quite annoying not to have a link to come back to the forum section overview at the end of the page. You need to go all the way up the page.

I overall prefer the previous layout,which BTW has proven to be the best in 99 out of 100 internet forums.

Rob, I appreciate your effort though. But I think you didn't get it right this time.
