well, 4 years later site testing is still apparently "some dude with a smartphone looking at the website" so why should anything else change.
Other than stoke no longer getting posted.

the new font/layout suck balls, hard to read, feels like its making me go all cross eyed. White skin sucks slightly less but its in now way an improvement.

when I type a reply in the Quick Reply box its a serif font (ie better, can actually read it) but after its posted it goes to the sans-serif. Did team TGR take a bunch of acid to get the font selecting party going?

The fonts, the colors, the layout, the spacing -- it all sucks.
To the TGR webguys/Dunfee/whoever is remodeling this place -- here's an example of a legible, well-laid-out forum, that looks like it is using the same software as TGR. Take a look at it, and compare for yourself:

Will the new format ensure that Rog's latest alias will be any smarter?

I just realized in white it looks like my Gmail page, which looks like shit.
I can't decide if I hate the white or blue more...
TGR ain't the only one. New LA Times website looks like shit too, as does the new RGJ website.

Boston.com looks the same. Everyone is going this route. Almost looks like a muse site but not as slick.
And that's saying something as muse is made for people with zero coding skill.Brought to you by Carl's Jr.

-Reply with Quote should be fixed now, please clear your cache to make sure it loads fresh
-Could people who are experiencing slow load times elaborate - is it on a specific page, when you do a specific action, or anything more specific? Like "when i load the padded room it takes ten seconds" or "When I load any page on the forums it takes five seconds, but takes no time on the main site.""We're in the eye of a shiticane here Julian, and Ricky's a low shit system!" - Jim Lahey, RIP

I have quite a few movie screen grabs at work of how long it takes to load new posts. Like brit, one time it timed out after a minute. I assumed that was because some work was going on under the hood and didn't bother complaining. If it continues tomorrow I'll let you know with video.

They're using 1/5th available space horizontally for advertisements (and they wonder why we use adblock).
I think we've all know a long time ago this is nothing but trying to make money.
I can't fault them for it, if I had a product that could make me money, I would use it as well.
But with the continuous overbearing ads, the constant advantlinks and the ridiculous marketplace, this place has long ago become nothing but money to them.
And I think that has been plainly obvious no matter what they say their ambitions are (but they don't talk to us anyway).
Until today you couldn't even get a fucking straight answer about their app not working.
Hey guys, you want us to get you ad revenue? I'll turn my adblock off if you stop making it so fucking obvious.
I expected this transition to go as swimmingly as it has.Brought to you by Carl's Jr.

Noted on the polyass shit in new post page. I edited DD's post a little prematurely. We wanna create a structure in which some of the very basic standards of human decency are honored here. We're thinking the best way about how to do so, but banning rog was a part of that philosophy, as was this. You'll never see me apologize for deleting or editing anyone's homophobic or racial slurs, though.

Seriously, look at Expedition Portal. Or MTBR:
http://forums.mtbr.com/forum.php
Or any of the many, many vBulletin forums that don't look all screwed up.

Isn't there some basic format in which the software comes set up? Don't mess around with it so much.

Since when did migrating hosts necessitate changing code? This, is, fucking, awful. Maybe we'll all get used to it, I don't know. But I have an almost irrepressible urge to navigate away from this redesign for good.
Agreed on all points. I also like how now you guys are totally angling for us to essentially give you free content that might be featured; yeah, we can be internet heroes! The evolution of web 2.0 continues... I never posted stoke so that I could be pro. Likewise, I never posted criticism, or tech advice, so I could be worshipped.

I like the new activity stream. Maybe it isn't new but I finally noticed it. On other sites like Macrumors they have a similar feature they call forum spy that auto populates new activity every few seconds. Any way you can enable something like that for that stream/feed?

All the discussion about the impending doom of allowing moderation aside, I think the move towards the "sleeker" look in the forum pages is part of what makes it difficult to read. There used to be a very slight separation between the posts that let them become their own entity. Each post was surrounded by its own, however thin, rectangle.
Now the entire page reads as one rather dark block with the bolded posts. There is no separation.
It's like one big fucking AkRover post.
If there was some sort of dividing line between the posts I think it would significantly improve the accessibility of individual posts to the eye.
