New forum layout - Page 4 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

I like it. Simple and Clean.

I have several problems with the new design. One, the "all" view is very FR-S focused, two the private message section on the top is very hard to read with dark gray over cityscape, 3 the buttons are a mishmash of different design style. That said, I do like how you can filter your view with FR-S only or BRZ only.

Only real issue I have is the missing "New Posts" button or whatever it was called in the banner of the previous layout. I used that pretty much exclusively when coming to the site. Without it, I am much less likely to visit the site at all because I just don't have time to go look for new posts on all the threads.

Is it there somewhere and I'm just missing it? (Yes I know there is the icon by each forum but that still requires me to go look for each new submission).

Where did the search button go?

What I like the most is the enhancements under the skin, like being able to see who quoted your post, which not too many forums seem to adopt.

I like the new skin, it just needs some kinks worked out for the sake of cohesion (like the buttons).

where are the quick links that used to be at the top like Social groups etc?

I love the new layout, but I really want to see this image at the top...

To cmspooner: My layout is different, lol...

The buttons are there, but smaller.

I'm using IE8 and those buttons are not showing up.

Hanzo · 04-16-2012, 11:10 AM

Also the icon next to the posts that you've viewed vs. not viewed are too close visually it's hard to see the difference at a glance.

Dimman · 04-16-2012, 11:50 AM

Only complaint (so far) is the colour of the car in the banner. (Personally I think it's the worst colour offered). Objectively, it clashes with the rest.
