Welcome to the new site layout.

[camsmith]

I dont mind it except for the nav bar on the left.

 

[Super Goalie]

As I've said, maintaining multiple skins would not work out from our end.

So go back to the old one....?

Re: I don't like it! Change it back!

Don't like it, my posts will be to a minimum now.

Re: I don't like it! Change it back!

Another blunder.

No we'll stick with the new one.

I'll have this bug checked out. Hardly life threatening

 

[Chief]

Also Chief, what will you do if Apple sue you?

For what?

 

[Chief]

Those little thread indicators that says "New posts", "Thread is closed", "You have posted in this thread" aren't too good.

They're a little bit too small and a bit too hard to see if you've replied to that thread and yeah.

Just suggesting that maybe something else that is a tad bigger and more understandable can be used.

Yeah that is probably the stand-out niggle for me. Nothing dire, just not as user-friendly as it could be. I'll see what we can do about replacing that set of icons.

No we'll stick with the new one.

But most people seem to prefer the old one...

 

[Chief]

Most BFSC members prefer an ad-free site, yet the announcement of ad-free BFSC memberships has received a lot less responses than the new layout. People will speak up when they don't like something, but when they like it they are not so forthcoming. I'd say the majority of people are not fussed while there is a core of people who prefer the old theme enough to be vocal about it.

this may have been mentioned but just in case it hasn't..... i clicked on a thread in the melbourne board and it switched back to the old skin

 

[Chief]

Which thread?

Question: if the ads aren't there, you'll still have the sidebar and subsequent smaller, squashed post space, correct?

Visually, the ads aren't a problem. It's just the extra loading time that's the problem, but even that isn't overly excessive. If BFC members got rid of the sidebar as well, then that'd definitely be worth it. Just get rid of the ads though, and not much changes, unless the forum does open up.

By the way, I can't remember reading one positive comment about the sidebar. Like someone mentioned, generally you get to the bottom of the page by the time you want to go somewhere, and then you can just use the forum jump.

Read back through the thread again. An option for Platinum members to be able to collapse the side bar completely is on the request list.

Read back through the thread again.

That's not going to happen. I'll take your word for it.

We are working on a collapsible nav. The nav is hugely popular on Bigsoccer but that is also a common request. It is more tricky than we thought to implement is all.

fixed. great catch

 

[Huss]

Is it possible to get the colours for the links darkened up a bit? (Or Underlined like on the old skin) It seems to blend in with the site page a bit much without the underline.

For Example I went into that thread and you could barely tell where the link was before the OP edited in the full link as you can see.

underline added

Which thread?

the robert warnock thread

edit: i just had a look and the whole melbourne board is in the old skin

 

[ManWithNoName]

the robert warnock thread

It's in the new skin for me.

Yes, this thread is in the old skin for me:
http://www.bigfooty.com/forum/showthread.php?t=493051

The rest of the Melbourne board is in the new skin.

Not sure why - Huss?

EDIT: I worked it out. All in the new skin now.

Try reading just the third post on the first page then

 

[OzBomber]

I'm a bit 'meh' on it. Struggling to get used to it.

I've switched back to the old one for now.

 

[chickens_law]

The new layout is remarkably slow on my comp.

Bring back the old design..

The only issue I have with it is that it squashes the threads.. good to have page width view of posts so we dont have to scroll down as often.
