TY

I'm a simple man with simple tastes and this seems all over the place to me

Maybe it will grow on me but my main reason for being here is talk about rugby related topics not to add "foes" etc.

I have to say whilst it looks quite nice it lacks clarity for me and that is a little annoying. Maybe it's just because it's all new?

Oh and btw posts are currently being centred but that should be sorted soon hopefully.

I like the new style the only thing that could be improved is the default text size is a bit small.

an important word to remember

FREE

so long as the forum remains available, I'm happy with it!

Frog me, theres something you don't see every day. Definate sig material.

I dont like the new change, why have they decided to everything and shrink the font size, I have good eye sight but reading a quote is hurting my eyes, god help anyone who doesnt have good eye sight.

Change your browser settings to larger text size.

Yes that's right it is FREE and too 'busy' and lacking in clarity IMO.

lacking in clarity, how?

dont like change put it back

is the mobile version gone for ever?

It goes with the 'too busy' comment. I just find the screen more cluttered and not as crisp. Things don't stand out as well. It used to be easier to see where new posts were. More is not necessarily better.

I'm sure others love it and that's fine.

I'm with you. I'm sure i'll get used to it but it does feel too cluttered. Wonder if less is more here, all i want to do is post opinions, i'm not really bothered about knowing when people are online or friends and foes etc. I'm pretty sure i'm never going to use all those smilies or the font colour changes either.

It's taking a bit of getting used to but I quite like it. Was very used to the old style so will have to spend ages on here again to get back to my level of "skill".

Plus I've "lost" about 250 posts

Admin counted every posters informed comments, and deleted them.

I hear wolfie is down to zero

what you mean is you don't want your boss to know when you're online

Dont thought of that!!

It's a work in progress. Admin are still 'tweaking' things, and the look/feel/layout may yet change.

There are a bunch of nifty new features that will actually make navigation and posting easier once you find them all and get used to them. I particularly like the 'last read post' feature that lets you pick up reading a thread where you left off.

that was on the old one

It wasn't implemented properly though (in the software, not by the admin of this site), so it essentially took a snapshot of all threads at the end of your session and continued from that point the next time you read them, whether you actually had read that thread previously or not. Now it works as it should.

The look is hardly any different in general, but it's a shame we've still got smilies (such a waste of resources). And it'd be nice to be able to turn off/hide the quick reply editor.

All in your opinion of course, smilies are used widely, and help quite often in getting across the context/sentiment of your post, all too often posts (like text messages and emails) can be mis-construed, similarly, the quick reply feature is very handy when you use it correctly.

Anyone with any issues could always, as I have suggested before, go and join a subscription board and pay to have an opinion there.

What RLFans does, free for it's users via sponsorship and volunteering of time by moderators, is of great value to the user base, I doubt many complaining have ever even made a donation to the upkeep of the site.

I wonder how many people full stop have made a contribution to this site. I have a couple of years ago when they were short of money and asked for donations.

I wouldn't think anyone will do that but well done for pointing out the choice - I'm sure nobody would have thought of it otherwise.



Whether anyone has made a donation or not is completely irrelevant - any user has the right to cast his or her opinion on here about the new site. You don't need to make a donation to register as a user and neither do you need to do so to declare an opinion about the changes be it good or bad.

That's analagous to a fan who goes to a game telling another one who doesn't they have no right to an opinion on the team's performance. I'm sure you wouldn't support that view would you ?

I haven't seen any view on this thread adversely criticising RLFans admin/moderators who do a great job with the provision of this free forum. I'm sure that some of the comments will help in the 'WIP' process the site admin are undertaking. With any change implementation some will like the results and some less so - that's life.
