new forum

[bigfish786]

is this a massive backward step for everyone, or is it just me that thinks its the worst "upgrade" ever.

I don't like the new site at all. The size of the font is far too large, so I have to zoom out before reading anything. The news page is chaotic-previously you could scroll down in date order. Its a bit like red button tv news as opposed to proper internet.

this new forum sucks, i've had plenty of trouble with it so far (the old one wasn't exactly flawless). I've been trying to create a new topic in the 'your system' forum, when I click save it goes back to the WHF home page where it says the topic has been created, but it hasn't. Also says the page is redirecting when you log in, but it doesn't.

 

[cannibal_ox77]

anyone else have trouble creating new topics?

 

[MaxD]

I overall like the new forum best, then I admit the redirect problem, they should fix it becouse this problem is real.

I agree with you. This is a massive step backwards.......the new site is just so chaotic and busy.

I think those 2 have been removed I wonder why.

This thing is unbelievably bad

 

[CarlDW]

I must admit this redesign is terrible. Fonts are too large, garish colours and it jumps all over the place when loading pages. Not good. I have left feedback so hopefully it will change.

The main one has been moved to where it belongs - the 'About the site' forum.

My avatar is gone, and i can find in "my page" how to upload it again, as all signatures have gone as well, and no way to create one...🙁

I am struggling with it big time. I hope it soon gets sorted.

 

[Native_bon]

I had to resort to internet explorer cause would say page not found with my Firefox. Anyone else having this problem?

I don't see many other incorrect forum threads being moved though. Doesn't seem to be as much incentive for those, I guess.

I don't like change generally speaking ( I'm in the don't fix something if it's not broke camp), but in the grand scheme of things my life's not changed too significantly.

Roll back to the old site until you have a decent update that someone had put more than ten seconds effort into while under the influence of several pints that does not work , looks **** , and damages the brand

 

[cannibal_ox77]

Does anyone know of a reason why I wouldn't be able to start a new topic? I've tried in Chrome and Safari on the Mac, didn't work on either, in Safari it kept on logging me out when I tried to get into the forum

 

[kmlav]

Because this has been coded by a idiot and it has not been tested

Concur. Any views/comments should be addressed here:

Easy there, rummy

 

[Alantiggger]

My goodness, WHY did you folks change a quite brilliant forum layout at all ?

This new look, BIG look pages are terrible tbh, please change it back, this IS a mess.

 

[ReValveiT]

Always the same with major forum upgrades; people just can't handle change.

I'm sure it can be but this look is not a patch on how the great-looking site was.

I'll bet that other sites have tried to copy how the old look was, simply because there wasn't anything wrong with it, Why change something which isn't broken ?

This scattered BIG-LOOK is a sad looking set up for what was a great site...... why on earth was it changed any way ?

 

[Overdose]

Change, people can handle, but broken links, bad coding and seeming absence of any testing before going live, is amateurish at best.

And to have the forum setup so that one brief post takes up almost an entire page is rather pointless.

The lack of posts since the 'upgrade' should tell the tale well enough and most of those made are complaints.
