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

ahausheer · 04-16-2012, 12:48 AM

I strongly dislike the new layout/fonts/color scheme etc. It is going to turn me and others off to this wonderful site. I don't know how to set up an official poll, so just vote using a reply. For example, how do I get back to the blog?

I vote to switch back to the old layout.

Speak for yourself and get over it. New forum is awesome imo.

Embrace the change.
Looks like everything is the same number of clicks away and just as easy to find as before.
I like it :-)

I agree, it's fresh and exciting! You'll get used to it after a few days...

The new buttons are tiny and hurt my eyes. Also, the banner looks too Scionish, if you know what I mean.

The fonts and some icons are blurry and pixelated, and some of the drop down arrows are poorly rendered. A quality forums needs a quality look.

In my years history of being on forum sites, everyone always bitches about a new layout. Then they get used to it, then another new layout comes out, then they bitch about going back to the one they were bitching about before. People are never satisfied on the internet.

Agreed. Visually it lacks balance and refinement and is overly cartoonish. It looks like a high school design project.

That's because the majority of forums are severely lacking in the looks dept and they are not getting used to it, they are merely accepting it.

I'm not complaining because its new, I don't like the pixelated fonts and poorly rendered graphics.

So what would be your suggestion when it comes to styling? i was starting to get quite bored of the last look myself actually.
