Thumbs down

I tried the three view options at the bottom. They all look cheap. Give me back the old look!

they upgraded the system to vBulletin v. 3, which has a LOT of new features.

hopefully the owners will open their wallets and buy some new skins for the forum

if it's going to cost some $ to do some skins like the old forum.. They need to let us know! I know I will throw some $ their way!

The Corvetteforum also switched to vBulletin last nite. I've had twice as much trouble signing on, and figuring where things are.

I really liked the old forum, but this one has new more features? Like what? Well all in due time I guess we will find out, but they need to hurry up and make skins for it. I feel like this is a cheap Ricer forum now. ;(

Yeah, I'm also looking for the "View New Posts", which lists ALL posts in ALL forums in time, date order.

Also, the "View Active Threads" link was one of my favorites. It was nice to be able to look at new posts across all forums without logging in.

I DO like the new look, though.

Here is the new posts link:

https://www.rx8club.com/search.php?do=getdaily

If you use msie, drag and drop the url into your 'links' section, then you can click and view in one mouse click.

Thanks for that, Jason. That view is my preferred way to surf the forum, so I was really going to miss it if it had gone away.

I quite like the new "face" of the forum - I was one of the diehards who never liked the blue interface anyway and stuck with the "old school" as long as possible - though I would like to see a reduction in the width of the borders in this new skin. Seems like an awful waste of screen real estate to have an unused inch on either side of the window. In order to prevent most thread titles wrapping onto two lines, I now have to use a much larger browser window.

Like a new WYSIWYG editor and a graphical display of your PM usage, to name only two that I have found in the first 15 minutes. Look around.

The new forum skin sucks. I am not opposed to the new features, but there's just too much whitespace, squinting, and scrolling for the site to be useful.

I agree. The old style was easier to read. I don't care so much about new features, reading the site is the main feature.

Question

How do I find the new messages posted since my last visit? I don't see any links on the home page.

Thanks.
