I really don't get the modern thing. It looks like an AOL board from the mid nineties to me. I'm not really a big fan of the retro look, it hurts my eyes.

So let's complain about how the forum is ruined and the admins here are too lazy. I am pretty lazy... I would also like to find a way to get the graphics at the top of each sub-board again. It's not quite Mitchell's Movies without Mitchell's meaty face welcoming you. And we worked hard on the TS69 tribute banner for the TS69 Music Board. In fact, the redesign might be a good reason for our quinquennial spring cleaning.

i never got the whole "like" phenomenon. i don't get why that's a thang. is there a "back to the top" button anywhere? i don't see one. that's kinda irksome. Ha Ha - I just "liked" you, now your ego can be tied into how much approval points you can accumulate. Yay! Actually, I've always used it as a quick way of saying... "I agree or like what you have to say in that post" -- but I imagine it could turn into a popularity contest. GAA - I'll be absolutely crushed if nobody likes me!

Checking out the profile, I like it, everything all in one quick and easy place. Very cool.
Plus my wonderful Alex Ross painted avatar face looks big bright and beautiful. I AM a wonder!

I haven't had time to play with too much. Noticed the like function, friends lists, groups...I don't think I'm on much for any of this to make any difference for me.
One thing I do like: those mini avatars on the quoted posts.

Somehow I get the feeling that Phantom hasn't posted in here yet because he's expecting me to make an "I told you so" reply or something.

The text is too small and it feels too padded by space. Just bring back the old theme and let people set it who want it.

I personally don't mind how the threads and such look so far, though I do think the topic section pages could be vertically condensed a bit more. They're way too long as it is right now.

I thought I already told Phantom about a month ago that we needed to prepare for this, but he didn't think it was a big deal and that it's "just another upgrade". He's right, he warned me but I just bullheadedly went ahead with my life as a super sleuth and crime fighter and did nothing. If only I would have listened. I also miss the headers but maybe on of the smart and effective admins that meet up to Triple_sSs' standards can figure out how to do it.

you do have more options with avatars. i'm not into creating my own cartoony image of one, but i have been wanting to use this guy with his jaunty cap for some time, but i couldn't size it properly on the old board.
but i don't see a 'location' option anyway. that's kind of a bummer.

I figure if I change anything avatar wise, it will kill not only the board, but the whole internet.
