Change is good

Confusion here.

Confusing - where do I go, what do I do?
Scary - will I adapt?
Terrifying - I need things to remain constant



All of the above! You can call me SET IN MY WAYS.

I usually adapt after a while, and sometimes I like it even better in the end (sometimes....not always).

I normally don't like too big changes, but I do like the new features here. However, I don't like the blue textcolor in widescreen mode, I prefer the one in PT mode (the darker one). Also, I'd love to have the background 5-10 % grey, it's more pleasant on the eyes.

Like Jenluckenback, I'd also like to have "Today's active threads" back, this way, we'll have a lot more clicking to do to. I miss the column with usernames in the left side, as it were before. This way, it seems too "busy". I also miss the column with the name of the starter of the thread (that way, the rows could be made less high/tall? I think most of us have screens wide enough to see it all - and we wouldn't have to scroll down so much. If the line just above the signature dissapeared, it would look better, especially if you want to center it.

Once you're in a Forum, it would also be nice to have the "Pet Talk" font size next to "Other" a little bigger.

Well, that's all I can think of now. Off to explore the rest!

It doesn't seem to be possible to choose someone from your Buddy list to send a PM to. Or have I missed something?

I'm not too happy about changes myself, but it depends. Usually, if I can see for myself how the changes are for the better, or if someone cares to explain to me why the change is a good idea - then it's ok by me.

My first impression of this is one of confusion. I didn't expect that much of a change! Whyever was that necessary? I think the layout is messy! - but that may be just due to the novelty of it.

Other than that...? I miss the "home" button for a quick return to the main menu. I had actually hoped - and wished for - that you would repeat the top line at the bottom at the threads, for a quick return. My first impression of this is that it is more difficult to navigate quickly between functions - instead of you making it easier. Sigh! I agree with some of the others in that I miss Today's active Threads" and an easy choice to stay invisible. Could we get those back, please ? Anyway, I guess one has to try it for some time before one can really pass any "judgement". I shall give it a chance!

I voted Fun-I love to learn new things, especially when it has to do with the computer. It is just a good challenge to try and learn the new look. Though I still haven't seen the new smilies! Where are the new smilies? All I see are the old ones.

Anyway, I do like the new look.

Sus, to get back to the main page (I think you're meaning the main listing of all the forums) just go to the top and you'll see where it says Pet Talk > Other > General ... just click on the word Pet Talk, and that will take you to the main menu page.

You can still remain invisible. You see yourself with an asterisk next to your name but nobody else can see you. If you were invisible before, you still are.

It really is a great improvement! Much easier and "cleaner"

Thank you for bothering to help me out here..! Since I made the above post, I have found out how to do a few more things, and I guess I'll adapt to the changes at some point! I guess I was a bit quick to complain...

Love,
