Ugly

I have to agree... It will just take some getting used to. Think about it this way, at least the update it!!!!
 
True. Different for sure. I like how some of the features I can look at all at once though. Would be nice to have different skins to choose from though. Favorite has always been dark settings.
 
I just want to clarify that I'm not throwing my hands up in a fit. Just sayin'. I'm already getting a little used to it, but it's harder to instantly see what I'm looking for like before. Oh well. I'm sure it's better overall so I'll shut up.
 
it's hard to see who the thread starter is... especially in the for sale section (very annoying), maybe bold it if possible?

this is what i'm talking about:

Yeah don't like it either. Can't tell what threads I have read or not cause the ones that I have not read would be in bold. Never mind it is working now. But gotta get used to the look.

Definitely a major downgrade. This layout was the reason I stopped going to all the other Mazda boards.. I don't think I even have the words to describe how much I hate it. Looks like I'll stop coming here too. Nice knowing you guys..
 
This is the same thing that happened years ago when Facebook changed their layout. I don't use it so I didn't give a s***, but even I knew that people were pissed... Really pissed. The navigation changed (and keeps changing) and people were freaking out as they "couldn't get anything done" (this is hilarious, seeing as you don't actually do anything on Facebook other than waste time). Now, Facebook are assholes, because they reorganize their site not to make your life easier or to do what's best for everyone but rather to try to promote certain features by making others really obfuscated (i.e., removing friends used to be intuitive, not so much anymore). Now, I didn't do that. I just upgraded to the latest, and it came this way. So, you guys should be very happy, seeing that I have the ability to actually go in and make changes as per your feedback, like I did for biz, see below.
So, if you're going to say, "this sucks i hate it i cant read things it hurts my eyes it killed my goldfish gave me erectile dysfunction i want the old one back", then, please save 1kb of storage and bandwidth on my server and don't post. Otherwise, provide some feedback, like biz did above, as to exactly what we can do to do it better other than rolling back to the previous version (which is IMPOSSIBLE). I'm not trying to sound as if I don't care about people's opinions, but please limit your complaints to something I can actually do something about. It's as frustrating as getting a bug report "it doesn't work <eom>".

That's easy enough to fix.. done.
 
A little too bright for my liking. A little hard to navigate, the new post color isn't much different than the non new post.

Main complaint is the top banner doesn't take you to the forum index. I have to hit the actual "index" tab now.
 
Is it possible to have the thread title bold when there is a new post instead of the icon?
 
i think the upgrade is def a plus on the backend of things as far as security, features, and so on. as far as the complaints of how it looks. im sure that there will be other skins/themes that can be installed on the forum so everyone can choose which one they like best :D
 
Can't bring up the threads I started.. says there are no matches.
*Correction* Search in general doesn't work.

And I wish there were different skins available that allowed us to customize the icons. I'm not a fan of the red "on fire" thread icons vs. the blue and gray regular thread icons. It's just too distracting.
 
I am rebuilding the search index, post 3000 out of 5 million and counting. Not joking.
 
In the inbox/outbox for PM's, I am no longer able to search by member/title this is very helpful when you have 8,000 PM's...any way to fix this...very hard to keep up with stuff I have FS without it...
