I'm LEAVING Because of This New Format!!!

:-P

After reading the the pathetic posts of the whiners and complainers who can't figure out the new FR format, I have concluded that I am an F'in genius. It took me no time at all to understand the new site. As for the whiners, they are living proof that not all deserve to be on a conservative web site.

The name of the movie is Toys. Thank me later.

PS: Barry Levinson was the director.

I vote for the "I don't care, I'm too busy Freeping". So what if it looks a little different, and the things I click on are not in the exact same place they were before. I can still come here for the information I come here for, still get the unique responses (some of which really catch me off gaurd) and the management hasn't changed. It works fine for me.

Eh - I couldn't remember an actual quote, so I made up something similar, but Toys was definately the inspiration for the comment. Glad it wasn't too obtuse!

I'm not leaving but if this is what my donation was for, I'm sorry I helped make whatever this is. The stuff down the middle is very limiting, like a fan site for O Town. I used to go there and fight with their teen fans. Always said "they stink." This is so O-Town Fan site. Where are the teen girls? We have important, many times involved topics. I'm just seeing glaring headlines and not enough per page. I am spoiled. Been here too long. Too old to change and my arrow down key isn't working either.

Did you buy O-Town's latest CD? This is not a fake boy band site but you couldn't tell it by me. Sorry, the truth hurts. Margins are TOO WIDE and the sidebar thing makes no sense. I really miss self search which can be hopping and very interactive. I miss that.

[PoisedWoman]

...the paragraphs seem smaller and take up too much space.

That's quite a trick, but I agree that the proportions suck. The headline type is larger now, but set on a shorter line, making it awkward designwise, and basically difficult to read. Also, the type is a dull blue now, not as easy to read as the old bright blue.

I find this new format quite impossible to read comfortably...it's a serious problem for me. Visually, the whole layout is too distracting for my eyes. Probably a good thing, as I wasted too much time here already.

You've done a lot today to try and debunk the ole "You can please some of the people some of the time" theory anyway! The newest search feature will save your behind in the end. MMW

As for the whiners, they are living proof that not all deserve to be on a conservative web site.

On the contrary, it's in the conservative nature to resist change. Though, all the whining is liberal-like. I'd say there are a few confused individuals here.

[John Robinson]

Thanks Ali.

I liked the new design (though I think we need a tree view of the "forums" & "topics" & how they all relate), but I understood the tweaks you had to make as the day progressed. Even losing the flag :(

But now, even the blue table background on the left is gone, and I'm so disappointed. That added so, so much class and branding potential to the design, and yet cost nothing. Please bring it back? Pretty please? LOL

(If it was a problem with contrast, I know an easy cheat you could use to work around that. =] )

[Texaggie79]

Show me another site that has no color division.... You let some blind people into taking off the blue border. No one can tell up from down without it.

Go with your instinct man, instinct!

Us web developers gotta stick together.

[Japedo]

I think you guy's are doing an outstanding JOB!! It was a little puzzling at first, but took a few minutes and I'm already use to it! Thank you guy's so much for giving us all this wonderful Great place!!

Many Thanks!!

[Joe Hadenuf]

I just came on. This sucks bad. Don't like it at all. Is there anyway to get back to the old format????

[Joe Hadenuf]

What is improved with this new format? Am I missing something? Just came on and my first impression is that this sucks. Whats the improvement?

[Goldsters]

LOL Joe. Really, it is a shock, but you will probably be like most people and like it better after about a half-hour browsing the site - especially your options and "subscriptions".

[Joe Hadenuf]

Don't think so. The old format seemed superior and much easier to read.

[Texaggie79]

Trust me, it looks a lot better with the blue border.......

[cavador]

I don't exactly like the new format either,but it's no reason to go top yourself.It's something we have to live with.

Now for the bad news.It's seems like the pages now take twice as long to load.Somebody please alert J.R.
