| Eh. It looks ok, but functionally, I don't like it quite as much. I much prefered the avatar images next to the posts, rather than to the side of them, and it's kind of annoying that you have to scroll down past the "additional options" thing to see the previous posts.
I guess the thinner profile makes it easier to browse the forums on my PDA, though, which is something the newer design has going for it...

| OK. What "additional options" are you talking about? I'll see if there are any other formatting tools that I can use. I'm using just the "out of the box" settings right now. I'll have time to play with this stuff later on. | |

| Ok, when you hit the "post reply" button, the page it brings up has three main sections. The first is labeled "reply to thread". The bottom one is labeled "topic review", and is where it shows the thread's previous posts. In between them, there's a section labeled "additional options", which is the one I'm refering to.
Of course, thinking about it now, the "quick reply" thing makes most of my complaint completely irrelevant.

| This whole narrow thing is kinda funky, messin' with me a bit.
Oh - has anybody logged out yet? It's spiffy - the thing turns black and white!

| I'm not too fond of it, personally. I'll just have to get used to it. I'm so confused though...so many things to figure out. | |

| Found the option for the old posting layout.
Very cool feature - you can now see "similar threads". So next time someone posts a question about flicks, we can just point them to the "Similar Threads" links at the bottom. | |

| Big brother is now gone, not that I mind. I'm talking about the list of users who are currently using the board. Now it just gives the number of users who are currently viewing. I just noticed it, I don't care to have it one way or another.
I like the drop down menus (Search & Quick Links). What's a reputation point?
Since we're asking Craig for some changes, how about:
-an overhead projector - I can't see the 10 pt font on my screen.
-some bikini clad people to announce what forum you're on.
-getting credit when posting on the story teller forum.
-good restaurants in walking distance from the site.
-getting me a girlfriend.
-having an Allstar color scheme, because the Uhlman scheme is to wide.
-an italian grip for my keyboard
-a benefits and detriments of the flick and flunge
>I wonder if I should expect a terse and petulant response from the originator of this thread.
Seriously, how about a spell-checker option? Even though that would stop 1/2 the posts on many threads.
Weird. When I type about+colon, it looks like I got about+underscore+colon. And it eliminated my spaces from the left ( >I wonder... it supposed to have started with an indent).

| Actually, Big Brother's still here, and watching even closer - now he tells you what forum everybody's on, and even those that are unregistered. | |

| I like it. I think the rollover summery for thread topics is particularly nifty.  | |

| I miss being a senior member. It had so much authority.
I also miss the link to live chat and the date of post that it used to give.
