About the new version of the site

I like that each post now has a dark boarder. It makes it easier for me to read. Thanks Jeff. Now if the colors weren’t that of the Miami Dolphins...;)

^ Wow, to be honest I didn't even notice the blue borders around the posts. Frames it in a little nicer, and adds more "Pointbuzz" personality to it. Oh, also the title boxes kind of separate posts a little better, too.

Yes, the border makes a big difference for the readability of the forum.

I'm getting a time out error when trying to submit a post.

That's because I was doing something disk intensive on the server. Should be a passing thing.

I like the new format! It is alot easier to read. 

It will be useful for me, a man who works third shift. 

Looks Amazing!

It took a day or so to get an opinion. 

At first I didn't like the text style.

The border impressed me from the start.

Had trouble finding a few things.

But now, I can navagate your new site just fine.

I like it, thanks Jeff & Walt.

I think change is good and I appreciate the effort you guys put into making this site.
I have to say though I think the forums are painful to look at. There is just too much white. The bar that has the poster's name in it is barely noticeable. To me the forums look more like a template then a finished site. Open coasterbuzz in a new tab and look how much easier it is to look at and how much more organized it is with the different colored backgrounds.

Why does your text look so terrible?

Because he's pushing the code button. Don't type code. Don't push the "#" button.

Jeff -

Noticed that in the News forum, the Google ads (which I shouldn't be seeing ;)) are creeping on top of the first post, as seen here.

Only one minor, not complaint, but issue.

If you double click the usernames before the drop down fully loads, it breaks, and wont retract. All other ones will open, however none will retract. This was an issue in the beta test of the forums too, I believe.

Other than that, it looks pretty good from my end.

This is me typing without pressing the # sign

 Now I pressed the # sign, it looks the same

to me..

But I do see other text styles, that look better.

Just one comment about the new look of the site...

The site looks great. But not all of us have ultra-hi-res monitors to look at it on. I'm still running my laptop at 1024x768, and a lot of the titles...the thread titles on the main forum page, the breadcrumbs, that kind of thing...it's all GIGANTIC! To put it into perspective, using the same size browser window, I can get 13 thread titles from CoasterBuzz into the space occupied by 8 titles on PointBuzz.

I realize that I am getting older, but I am not exactly hunting for the Large Print Web just yet! Since you're obviously using CSS, how about making some of the font sizes a preference setting?

--Dave Althoff, Jr.

I agree about the topic font sizes. Originally, I thought I'd accidentally typed AARPBuzz.com.

;)

^ Lol! I don't mind; I can't see to save my (or anyone elses!) life without my contacts in anyway. I like the private message prompt much better than the little number it used to have. Except that it doesn't all fit on my screen, so I have to scroll over & it seems like it should say "loser" after, "you have no new messages". ;)

So don't double-click it. :)
