Server maintenance - tomorrow morning (10:00 AM GMT+3)

[Erel]

The forum is planned to be updated. It will be offline for maybe an hour.

 

[Sandman]

This is awful. What am I supposed to do during the downtime? WORK!?

(joke)

 

[aeric]

Another 15min right? Ok back to work.

See you guys on the other side

 

[mcqueccu]

It's not time yet. Couple of hours more

 

[Kope]

I think i have to take some rest as well

 

[aeric]

I think the upgrade has been done.
By the way, is the small circle in Alerts to "Mark unread" a new feature? I never notice it before.
And the Rich Editor bar look new to me too.

Hi!

 

[josejad]

Hi¡¡ Here we are¡¡¡ Now I'm younger¡¡¡

Might be

And the Rich Editor bar look new to me too.

Yes.

There are also other changes. Check the "share your creations" forums and the tutorials.
The questions will also be updated soon.

Ugh! That's horrible! It's a huge waste of space, impossible to navigate and the vertical chronology has gone
It's got the Fisher Price kindergarten look that the awful Metro UI had in Windows 8
Don't tell me all the forums will look like that.

Sorry, perhaps you can see that I'm not impressed

PS. I don't like having to toggle between preview end edit to post something either. But then I'm old and probably too resistant to change.

share your creations

Masonary grid is horrible and disoriented!! change it as others old style, it is better.

 

[Erel]

No. No. It is only the "share your creations" format.

The questions format is different and it allows choosing the answer.

The new 'Share your creation' is horrible, but as agraham said, I am probably too old too.

 

[agraham]

No. No. It is only the "share your creations" format.

Phew! However unless I'm missing the obvious there is no indication that I have read a 'creations' topic, all the topic titles seem to be permanently bold.

 

[Hamied Abou Hulaikah]

Or you can make it grid with equal 4 columns in each row, including 1st rows.

 

[Erel]

There is a small "New" orange label.

Done.

Oww... I also need some time to get familiar too.
If we can customize the summary text (excerpt) and the Feature image like in WordPress, then it may be better.

Edit: If the post has no image, then show a default image.

The new 'Share your creation' is horrible, but as agraham said, I am probably too old too.

I'm no fan either. It didn't really help making 4 equal columns either. Plus what @agraham said about bold titles.

I have to ask, am I the only one who dislike this whole "let's put the name of the thread-starter in the bottom of the first post", instead of having it to the left like previously?

Plus: I've disabled signatures in my preferences, it seems the forum doesn't respect that setting in thread-starting posts. Another thing I'm not overly fond of.
