When you click on a topic in the far-right column it takes you to page one, instead of the most recent page. (eye roll)
And it took me so long to find out the difference between 'quick reply' on the left, and 'reply' on the right. (pointless feature).
And there's no eye roll emoticon!
It's also much harder to spot the new posts of the day when scrolling down the forum.
Also, the links to the other forums and sites at the top are gone. Not to mention the NIR forum logo!
(And the default avatars are creepy)
It's like when Blogger got overhauled last year. They made it much less practical.
The only new thing I like so far is that you can like a post. About time!!!

This is harder. It sucks!!!!!!!!!
The home page used to have grey and black alternating for
each sub forum. Easy to see.
I click reply and I don't know what the heck happened.
Hard to find things and navigate.
Not against change, IF it's ACTUALLY an improvement and the gains
outweigh the sucky parts.
I'd be happy if it was back the way it was and you could actually
use the search function (and it worked).
Bells whistles and fluff, but the important stuff is ignored for years.

Well, I knew this was coming but wasn't expecting it to be this different.. But we'll get used to it.
I'll see if I can get the logo working again, and just generally familiarize myself with it.

People at 'headquarters' do this ALL THE TIME! Forums, mail, etc.
Ex: they change your mail - whereas it WAS easier to
look at and things are blocked out well so your eyes can navigate -
to making it just plain worse.
People at HQ do this so it looks like they're DOING something -
so, there must be a reason for them to have a job.
Self perpetuating (they hope).
At least give the Jojos of the forum world the chance to opt out.

A VERY useful feature I found tho, is when I
scroll to the bottom of the page here and see Related
Topics and Stories.
Ex: "A Mom’s Guide to Looking Effortlessly Chic"
I could never find that on say, a Yahoo home page -
so it's good that it's here on a completely related PID/PWR forum.
Panic averted.

They still have that silly little puzzle box that pops up every once in a while.
It says, "prove that your human", so then you play some annoying minute long commercial for tidy bowl or something to get the stupid code. And sometimes the stupid code is written with weird, skewed letters, so you have to spend another minute trying to decipher the dumb thing.
If you typed the stupid code in wrong, you had to do it all over again and watch another dumb commercial to get another stupid code with warped letters. Then you have to guess right again at what the dumb code says and it takes another minute of your time. Etc., etc, etc...

Reminds me of a little known song Johnny wrote about people at HQ with designs on their mind - You say it's really convoluted Well, you know They wanna change the forum world They tell us that it's evolution Well, you know They wanna change the forum world But when they talk about reconstruction Don't you know that you can count me out Don't you know it's gonna be all wrong All wrong, all wrong.. They say they got a real solution Well, you know We'd all love to see the plan (background singing: think we've seen it, oh no, think we've seen it) You ask me for a contribution Well, you know I say put the new stuff in the can But when you want thumbs up For people whos changes we hate All I can tell is brother you have to wait Don't you know it's gonna be all wrong All wrong, all wrong They say they'll find a forum solution Well, you know They all want to change your head (wasn't broke shoo b do, wasn't broke shoo b do) They tell us it's the institution Well, you know You better free you mind instead But if you try carrying pics from there to here They ain't gonna make it easy this we fear (shed a tear) Don't you know it's gonna be all wrong All wrong, all ... |

Seriously, after my last post I was gonna do a new post with a pic.
Sure enough, it won't do it.
Did insert image icon thing then pasted what I copied from my image site.
5 tries later - nuthin.

Ok, got it to load.
This pic actually came up from Proboards when I was trying to sign in
to post Johnny's song.
So, when you're supposed to follow directions and use the 'insert image' icon
to insert an image -
don't use insert image to insert image.
To insert image I didn't use 'insert image' icon.
Then it worked.
At least for me.
That was simple.
And not convoluted,
And it only took about ten tries - Johnny.

Everything seems to take 5 times longer now. And sometimes I have to make 3 or 4 attempts to get something to work. Even clicking on the forum. Anyone else having problems like that?
