I'm LEAVING Because of This New Format!!!
Posted on 03/30/2002 4:00:16 PM PST by Texaggie79
This is Horrible. I can't stand this. I actually have to look to the other side of the page for the exact same links. There is different look to the site. This is just wrong. I'm calling my psychic!!!!!
It now tells me right when I get in if I have replies! That's so wrong! I liked to click on self search every minute to check if anything was new. I can't believe we have a choice of what topics we have on our sidebar!!! I want to be forced to accept Breaking News and Front Page only!!!
Change makes me paranoid!!! I can't stand having to take 2 minutes to get readjusted to the format. I'm gone GOOD BYE

Damn, nowadays it seems everytime someone trys to improve things they f--- it up.
To: cavador
Don't you people ever read the whole posts? It will speed up after all the changes are done.
To: Joe Hadenuf
Well, it probably was easier in a way. But what we have now is more functional. Really, if you click on and subscribe to [topics] (Upper right), you'll probably like having them listed on the right. It's also nice to have an alert on the main page when you have a reply...
To: Texaggie79
yes yes yes
To: Goldsters
Old format was much easier to read. Period. You could go through the threads much faster as see what was up. No sir, don't like it. Oh well, nothing ever improves.
To: John Robinson
So, can you explain to me, in non-techie language what's actually changed, other the the overall "look"? It seems you've gone to a lot of trouble and have mostly what you had before, due to freepers frantic requests, except with a different background, after all is said and done.
To: Joe Hadenuf
Oh well, nothing ever improves.Ah, come on. Diversity is goood.
You will asimilate, keep trying.

You're right. I still have a hard time finding the actual "latest posts"... I think they'll be clarifying the topics vs forums deal soon, and probably offer a site-wide "latest posts" option. At least I hope so...
If we can be really specific about what we want to see, I think they'll accommodate our needs ASAP. They made a whole lot of changes today... so it is still a work in progress. Now's the time to put in your requests. =]
To: Goldsters
Whatever. It just sucks.
Maybe when I wake up tomorrow, they well come to their senses and change it back the way it was.
To: Goldsters
If it aint broke, don't fix it. They screwed up with this format. Very unfortunate.
Oh well, I am not surprised.
To: Goldsters;john robinson
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 The flag had to go, but the blue was nice and I kind of miss it already!

Without the blue background in the side bar, it's all for not. It looks very amaturish now.
To: DouglasKC; Texaggie79; john robinson
We need a poll to
Bring Back the Blue. =]
I'd never start another thread on it, though...
OK, Douglas, you do it. <G>
To: Goldsters
I'm sure there will be alot of disappointed FReepers tomorrow. I'm sure we will get the Blue back.
To: John Robinson
The new design seems fairly straightforward.
My only suggestion would be for more consistency:
1. for personal pages (My Comments, etc.) I'd like to have the same topbar as the forums, for example:
My Settings Latest | Search | Topics | Members | Post
2. I'd like both sidebar toggles available at all times:
Show Threads/All and Show Full/Brief headers
where threads are displayed, not needed for My Mail, etc.
3. I'd like selecting a post #110 of 135 link to use my Window preference: Self, Blank, Slave
To: John Robinson
update:
My Comments doesn't need a Show Threads toggle.
To: Texaggie79
WELL DONE SATIRE.
Have the U.S.--the best of the U.S. really become an incurable nation of whiners as some of this would indicate?
Dear whiners--please pick up your marbles and play elsewhere--perhaps put some marbles back in your head--maybe your noise won't be so hollow.

No, no.... I see the worst has been corrected, and I am grateful- I really was straining my eyes trying to read that little type on the sides, but it is better now. You know the old saying, "It's the squeaky wheel that gets the grease?"
Just squeaking a bit.....
