    Ahhh Everything has changed!

    I love change, but everything is so large now, i liked the compactness of the old forum pages.
    Can only see a few posts or comments at a time, i feel like i’ve got my monitor set up to preschool!

    Yeah… I kind of like the old one better… This scheme feels like the site is about clouds or it has something to do with dreaming or it’s about angels or something ethereal with its pale blue sky look and its light blue font… :)

    I just realized the new format is also on the site main page. Shows you how much I look at the main site, I guess. I hate to say this to people whose work I really admire, but, I think the site lost a little of its edginess with the new colors and layout… I feel bad admitting it ’cause I know criticism can hurt…

    This appears to be back but… it seems to be all topics, not just the ones in the current subforum so still not that useful.

    Well, that’s gone 🙂

    Ok, a smaller font, too! 🙂 Ok, how about maybe changing the light blue color of every other comment box? Kind of hard to get used to and a little hard to read…

    Nice comparison… If I could set it up these are the pages I’d show for comparison with today’s forum layout:

    http://web.archive.org/web/20121101002304/http://road.cc/content/forum/65541-suggestions-2013-season

    http://web.archive.org/web/20130218130455/http://road.cc/forums/fantasy-cycling

    Anybody know how to display these pages or screenshots of them here in the forum like drheaton just did? Do you have to use the img tags? Any explanation would be useful…

    I really don’t think there was anything wrong about the old layout. This one looks just a little more modern, but I think its only because of the color scheme and its use of a bigger bolder maybe more modern font. I don’t think it adds anything but a more fresh look because of the colors… I preferred the other layout…

    It is functioning a little differently than the other forum, though, it isn’t just a cosmetic change, is it? Was it changed for the different functionality or just to modernize the look and feel?

    This is what the new look
    This is what the new look looks like to me, for reference this is on my nexus 7 which is how I usually access the site.

    The style is great but the actual content I come to the forum for is tiny and I cannot resize it, this is the smallest text will go. Just resizing the page elements would go a long way to helping and I’m not sure what changed but on the old site I could zoom in/out to my hearts content to resize the text to my liking, now I can’t zoom out further than this.

    I’ve also added a comparison of the old style using the fantasy pages to give some context.

    So much better with the darker font… Thanks… How about a smaller font, too, so we can read more of a page without having to scroll down?… Although maybe it’s not the size of the font, maybe these comment boxes are just bigger and occupy more space on the page… There seems to be a pretty big white strip of space to the right of the comment boxes which seems empty and unused… Is it meant for ads?… I don’t know.. I just find myself scrolling much more than with the former layout… Thanks!…
