OT: What do you make of this new look board?

[Ziggdiezan]

It took about a dozen times to log in. Sure had to identify a lot of bicycles.

I feel that, I tried to log in like 5 times yesterday. All failed, went to the site right now and I was logged in without entering any info lol

 

[HEAVY DUTY]

Its not bad. will take sometime to get used to.

dark theme is dope.

I can’t say whether I like it or not because I haven’t really had much time to mess around on it yet. Couldn’t login at all yesterday on my PC, I’m only able to login through my iPad. Obviously I like the other one better, but if this fixes the random loading into ads and tons of issues, then I guess I’ll be all for it.

Site layout is definitely a lot cleaner and quieter. The font seems a bit small for a forum where the majority of the posts are pretty short so I'm seeing what looks like a lot of unnecessary whitespace.

We'll have to see how the game thread functions. If that works fine then I'll give the update a thumbs-up.

Realtalk - this is a huge upgrade. Way, way better.

you can change font size under preferences.

How do I get to settings ?

Menu icon, top left, then scroll to bottom of menu.

 

[HEAVY DUTY]

is there any way to add back the blue dot that indicates a thread has new posts? i know clicking on the title takes you to the last unread post, but its hard to tell if there are new posts in a thread without physically clicking on the post and then realizing there aren't any.

 

[BayStBullies]

I miss being able to select a page to jump to from the main topic list.

 

[apocalypse]

I like it. It's sleek and the dark theme is pretty sick. No complaints here.

 

[kb]

It's growing on me.

 

[lovemyleafs]

This new look is okay.
I switched to dark which is slightly better.

A HUGE win is that I think that “refresh while you’re typing and lose everything you wrote” bug is fixed. That was a brutal bug, hope it’s permanently gone, and not just gone until the re-introduce obnoxious ads (it was ad-caused before).

Overall there’s plenty of good things, but I don’t like:

- Too much whitespace - I prefer higher information density like before
- Within a thread, pagination controls are only at the bottom, I like them at the top too
- I miss the “new posts” indicator when viewing a list of threads
- Much prefer having breadcrumb navigation, so I can go “up” multiple levels at once, vs. just one level at a time

How can I turn off the live thread thing? Had it off on the old version... I hate it.

Not a big fan of the new site either, but I am sure I'll get used to it.

Thx.

 

[Northernguy10]

Hard to read in both modes. The old lighting/colouring was much easier to read... The rest is fine.

Yeah I was trying to figure this out to no avail. Live threads are annoying haha

 

[Carltons Cup]

This board is a lot like the Leafs...

Looks visually appealing but a hell of a lot of kinks to work out.

 

[3blizzard4]

Site sucks on mobile.
Site is amazing on desktop.

Mission not accomplished.

 

[ChickenMcNugget]

Im sure this is mentioned before but the red usernames in white bubbles are atrocious.

Just make it white/black to contrast with the background it's that simple.

 

[ULF_55]

We'll all adjust.

Maybe there are some good things yet to be discovered.

As mentioned colour combinations aren't the greatest ... sometimes less is better, don't need to use every colour you have to be effective.

 

[Ambassador Bridge]

Was finally able to log in. Thanks.

 

[TheBeastCoast]

The amount of times I have already hit the attach files button when going to post really isn't funny. It is almost every single time.

 

[DarkKnight]

Everyone hates change, this is good and if it doesn’t crash what’s not to like. Good work hfboards, thanks.

 

[WTFMAN99]

I hate change typically so while I will tell you right now that I don't like it, it could change in a month once I am used to it.

 

[Mugzy97]

I like it, but:

-not a fan of the auto refresh on live threads. Should be able to turn that off.

-Would also like to be able to skip to last page at the top of the page instead of scrolling all the way to the bottom every time
