New forum design - what do you think? Any problems?

Avatar for Eska

It's ok. Quite a bit colder than the previous graphics, plus what's the compass/Bowie flash thing on the PGF logo? Also is it still possible to have the latest post come up first on a thread? Scrolling down is doing my head in a bit. Maybe I'm missing something.

This is extremely minor and may be too complicated to be worth bothering with but when spam has been deleted would it be possible to revert the latest post listing to the last relevant post (e.g. the working at home thread) otherwise I look for new posts and they aren't there and I'm easily confused :(.

We finally have proper avatars.

But can we have animated emoticons? :-)

When I login I tick the keep logged in box, but it doesn't seem to be remembering for any length of time (a day or more!). So I have to keep logging in again and again. Which is somewhat exasperating. Would be grateful it it could be fixed. Thanks.

It is a compass point and is a continuation of the brand of the other sites we run (e.g. FindAPhD.com and FindAMasters.com). Using a compass point to find something or get some direction... Something we hope our sites do for our visitors/users.

I see Adam, it's all making sense now...

May be only me, but I am looking into the forum by browsing via findaphd.com.. The link there leads to the old forum ;-). Made me wonder for a week where you all are :-)

Well I may be the odd one out, but I definitely miss the old PGF layout. Somehow, it was more comforting, and simpler to navigate. Maybe it's just me, but the new layout is kind of putting me off from visiting the forum as frequently as before. Maybe, it's just because I don't like change!

I prefer the previous orange + purple layout- looks more energetic.

I've a feeling when we introduced the last version no one liked the Purple and Orange! Can't please some people can you ;)

So far everything is fine but I really don't like the way PMs are displayed. It's very confusing. I would prefer if messages for each post were grouped.

Yay, finally an update :) I like it

Hmm I'm not sure about it but I think Eska put her finger on it saying it's colder than the previous version. I don't find it very inviting to use and I can't seem to find anything. The top 100 posties and stars are also gone. I also agree with Starlight222.

Hi

I found out that I could edit my thread, but I couldn't edit the title of the thread. Is that correct? Or am I missing something here?

Hi

My problem is how to create a new discussion forum.
