[e.rose]

Weird, and there's a share button? Interesting.

i like how any photo-related graphic has been removed.
yet more proof the owners dont give a hot **** about photography.

(yes, i'm still bitter...lol)

Woahhhh. Am I the only one that thinks this new look looks alot like Photographyonthenet? I don't quite know if I like it yet.
Any thoughts?

I don't see any resemblance at all with POTN.

Hahaha good call KMH you get my point though. Also what's up with the no more thanks? No more thanks?!?!?!
Oh my god they have implemented a like button here too now?

Thanks has been replaced by a more advanced Likes system. Old Thanks will be imported, give us a bit. The Like and Thanks work nearly the same, but the new Likes is more advanced. When a post is liked, you'll see a list is kept at the top of the thread. You can now jump directly to the most 'popular' post in the thread. This saves time.

You can also now get notifications of posts of yours that are liked, and by whom, etc.

hate it

Specifics?

I dont like it either, i think the old one was great, dont fix it if it aint broken!

This, unfortunately is a necessary upgrade. VB3 has reached "END OF LIFE" -- meaning, no more support... and we are trying to make sure we run secure software. The VB4 required a complete rewrite of all skins/templates.

So, in this case... it was broke, and required a fix

Good points all together. I do agree with the if it's not broken don't fix it. I loved the old look of TPF.

See Above

Yes, it's quite different...but it always feels really weird when it's not what you're used to. Stick with it, it will grow on you and there are still a few things to be worked on.

The thanks are being imported, so they aren't gone.

By the way, this is a newer version of V-bulletin forum. The old version was nearing the end of it's life (no longer supported) so an upgrade would have to be done sooner or later.

As always, if you have feedback, put it in the feedback section.

Big Mike is right... we need constructive feedback. Specifics of what's broken/missing, etc..

And don't worry, this software has quite a few new features we have yet to add all the way in so hang in there, this is a huge upgrade and we are still working behind the scenes.

If there are services that need to be added (and are popular) to the share menu, let me know.

Which specific photo-related graphics are you talking about? I'll be happy to address any issues if I know what your talking about.

Eh, you know... the more I look around, it actually ain't that bad. I kinda dig it. I think the new layout in general is going to take some getting used to... as others have said, the fact that there's more space between the signatures and the posts is a bit much, but... everything else actually feels cleaner as far as the navigation across the top goes. It just took me a second to get oriented.

I've recently become addicted to Tumblr? I don't know that I would use the share button for Tumblr purposes (although, I don't know that I, personally, would use the share button at all), but *someone* might. It's certainly a popular service. I know a couple people on here use it in addition to myself.

 

[Trever1t]

No more "thanks" too!

at least the top banner had photo-related imagery in it. im mostly just being a dick.
i just thought it would be cool if the theme was more photo oriented...the green "sorry pieces" for threads we've posted in...i would imagine this is a canned theme, so maybe it will get customized as time goes on. ive never built a forum so i have NO idea how to go about it.

i like change and new things so im sure this will grow on everyone.

We can tight it up a bit. Here's what's causing it.

The "window" that your Avatar (and Join Date, Location, Posts, Gallery, Photos OK to Edit) etc. is called the postbit.

To the right of the postbit is the actual Post Body.

The Post Body must be as wide as the Postbit... the new Postbit kind of makes the information in the fields pretty, and takes up more space. We can reduce this with less padding, smaller font sizes, etc. and this will have the general effect of reducing the whitespace. Keep in mind however, whitespace is not evil -- it's easier on the eyes and helps to lead you to the next piece of content that's important.

Google's home page has a ton of whitespace, but no one complains about that

I'll tighten it up a bit though, as per the user suggestions.

will you be changing the thread icons? its really difficult to navigate with them

 

[vtf]

ekool, any thoughts on nsfw and nudes. That would be the best update.
That would be a great share button.

 

[JeffieLove]

My thoughts:

Where's the like button? I'm not seeing it...

Share? Really? No thanks.

I just learned how to MQ with the old format... how the hell do you do it now??

This sucks. I don't like it. I liked the old layout. However I don't think this looks that much like POTN. I think POTN looks a LOT better than this.

Okay, nevermind on the like button and the mq... I wasn't logged in so they weren't showing up

 

[e.rose]

The Share and Like buttons appear when you put your mouse over the body of someone's post.

MQ is the same as before, it's just that the icon looks different. it's the little quote bubble with the plus sign next to it.

 

[e.rose]

Is there any way to get the Like/Share button to just appear permanently, rather than just when your mouse is placed over the body of the post? I can just see it now... a bunch of newbie threads started called "How do I like a post?", because they don't see it right away.

Thanks alot for all the feedback ekool really do appreciae it and as erose stated before it will take some getting used to but all in all it looks pretty legit. I am starting to warm up to the new look of TPF.
