But lots of old user names :PIt's retro stylings juxtaposed with inventive haute couture materials. I love everything about it!
Hmm, I don't like all the gizmos and claptrap. Much more preferred the plain black stylings of the old forum. I will say though that having a search function is fantastic. That being said, I wonder how many really old threads will be dug up and commented on now that we can easily do that?
hi, sorry i'm late, just got here... what did i miss? a search function, you say? hummm...
EDIT: looks like we got sigs - instant source of annoyance. but kosmo, only 5 characters for the sig?!? need to up that.
A search feature! How inventive!
On hfstival.com we called scrolling "parading" and would use it with images.
like this?Yeah, but usually the pictures would be larger and I'd do like 15 in a row. As you can imagine, it was a "love it or hate it" thing.(http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3230/3076922119_a831f5a748_o.gif)
EDIT: and this is annoying "Warning - while you were typing a new reply has been posted. You may wish to review your post."
Seems to me that I saw a disable funtion in our profiles for that. Try your profile account settings or preferences. I'm considering turning it off myself.

One other thing. I was storing info in my PMs which are now gone - are those gone forever?
the ability to reverse the order of the posts in a thread with the newest on top is interesting, however it doesn't work so well with the quick reply function. switching the order could be good for long running threads like Just announced...
Oooooooh love the "print" feature!Me too. I'll be using this. I keep wanting to click "next" for the page turn, anyway.
Nice to be able to read a thread without having to turn pages.
the one new gizmo i really like about the new forum is being able to click the new graphic and jumping right down to proper place in the forum...Yeah, I do love that. Welcome to the 21st century! Woo hoo!
Can I suggest one formatting change? The current format appears to be set so that the web page width does not adjust to the browser window, which means that horizontal scroll is necessary... which is very annoying. You might do this on pages where graphic layout is important, but on a forum it doesn't make sense. (It could be the bar across the top that is doing this). I think it ought not to be too hard to fix.I'm glad to see someone else complaining about this. I posted about that in the other thread, but it was mainly focused on the main page and not the forums, but I especially agree about the forums.
Otherwise, the glitziness will be hard to get used to after the years of Halloween-Goth, but nonetheless it's very nice to see an update, and modern forum software. Nice work.
