I reallly need my glasses to use the new site. The old one was easier to read. At least it seems that way. But I’m old and remember Neil Young.
Does the new site grow on you?

Yes. The next time there's a big update, you'll be asking to have this one back.

Still leaning toward strong dislike, but accepting that it is what it is.
I have yet to find one single thing in the changes that are for me, an improvement.
But, thanks for asking, anyway.
Little stuff.
Spread all around.

I adjusted the page settings on my PC with my mouse and all became much the same....
all mellow yellow here....

I'm ( of course).not going anywhere, but
the layout seemed friendlier before, less generic maybe?
- and the type/ font size on my phone is teeny!
( enlarging size on my Settings doesn't seem to do anything here)

I haven't gotten used to it yet. I still keep coming back, but I'm finding it's somehow more off-putting to browsing. I can't read the new site nearly as easily. I'll keep at it. Maybe it's kind of like adjusting to progressive lenses or something.

I already don't recall what the old site looked like. .it was yellow, right?
the only real difference I notice is when you hover the mouse pointer over alerts and your log out icons there's no drop down window like before, you have to click on the icons...
extra clicks.... AAAAARRRRRGGGGHHHHHH !!!!! NOOoooooooo ..

I much preferred the site before the update.

Where do you find all the new emojis?Once I worked out where everything is then I was happy. Cleaner look and you can use a bunch more emoji so what's not to like??
Regardless of "Old Site vs. New Site", I'm just glad it's not "V-Bulletin"
Yep. Prior to the last major update, Paul set up a mock TDPRI "beta" site that was run on the (soon to be) new software, and a bunch of people (including myself) were asked to participate in running it through the wringer and getting familiar with everything to help the general membership with the transition. This became the site that was just replaced, and it was not exactly met with enthusiasm in the beginning, either.
Apparently y'all adjusted to it, though, because I'm seeing the same objections that occurred the last go-round.
I love the new site. I loved the old site. I loved the site before that.
I've adapted.

Because of the way I navigate this site(probably my inexperience) I get the feeling I’m missing a lot of posts ( possibly some interesting ones) that I would have seen with the old format .

I miss the “Today’s Posts“ button which allowed you to view all threads even if you had seen the latest post previously……
Edit …….I see that feature is retained under “What’s New”

I remember the outrage when the old format was the new format.
Same as it ever was,
Same as it ever was,
Same as it... ever was.

Not a fan of the font. Im trying, as this is my favorite forum, but I keep ending up on Strat talk, because it’s less eye fatiguing
They changed to a system of 'lightweight' fonts that are intended to make pages render a bit faster. The fonts look thin and are more difficult to read. They also seem to have, inexplicably, changed the main font color to something with less contrast.
It's like they didn't consider that the typical member, here, is 40-70+ years old. Our eyes are that old, too.
It's things like this that they broke trying to fix stuff that was working well.
You can choose your text colour, too.
Yes. The default color should be appropriate, though.
