ohhhh MY GOD what kind of change??? Can you tell me now so it doesn't seem like change when it happens?
It will affect the way quotes look and work on this forum. I'll write a detailed description before implementing it some time tomorrow. But to put it short: things will become cleaner.
Implementing? Does that mean we don't have a say? ...

-

I don't know, now we got 3 Admin and 1 GM, and we didn't know about the last admin and now there are more changes coming? ...

Hmmm.

You will have a say. It's just your say will be much better informed once you actually try things out.

There will be an experiment running approximately 2 weeks. Once the time runs out, we'll talk it out. Some changes will probably be adjusted or reversed, for some others options will be given.

I do not mean harm to this forum. I'm trying to find a solution that would work for as many people as possible. I hope we can cooperate a little here.

I see.

So changes first, then a vote of sorts to see if they stay.

I don't doubt that actually but you know what they say about the road to hell. :lol:

Why are the quote boxes not using the same theme as everything else?

Quote box was replaced with a paler one, so it distracts less

It distracts even more because it's the only thing different in the whole theme and it uses a completely different colour scheme and it doesn't fit in the slightest.

They are using the graphics/color used on other forum elements. It's just not the color quotes were. The reason - they are much easier to ignore this way. Please give it a try. You may end up finding it pretty comfortable.

Maybe, let's see if everyone thinks the same.

I think it makes it easier to read posts.

how are we supposed to follow a discussion thread now that we can't refer to previous comments?


okay quoted from the chat page.

atm i'm not really digging the change bc i'm a lazy fuck and idk if i can be bothered following a conversation which i can refer back to but we'll see how it works these two weeks.

Distract what? Now I can barely read what is being quoted so I have to strain my eyes to see what is being quoted so I know what the heck whoever is responding to.

This is more distracting and annoying.


We should've had a vote/voice before any changes were implemented instead of this let's just try it for two weeks.

If after 2 weeks you still absolutely hate it, you'll be given an option to change to the old theme with brighter boxes and big images.

Why 2 weeks? Why can't I change it back now? I don't like needless and unnecessary change that contradicts what I'm familiar with.

Why are you changing things on us like this? I'm lost now in conversations, now I don't know what peeps are talking about forcing me to back track to the last page or even further. :facepalm:

It would be better if you list what changes you like and don't.

Just give it a try girls, think of it as if it was a new soshi song you're not that fond of.
But the more you listen to it, the more you get to like it.
2 weeks, because it gives the right criteria to ppl to actually say they definitely hate it/like it after dealing with it for a while.

This is something that can be adjusted without much problem. Text can be made brighter. Usually you don't see the contents of the quote for the first time. You need to barely recognize the shape. But if it proves to be much of a problem, it will be changed, no big deal. This is what this discussion topic is for.

i might also add that only quoting the last comment takes away the 'thread' component of the forum? idk idk, i personally want to see how this works after a week at most. i think 2 weeks is a really long time to test this out.

Why are the quotes a different colour? Why are they pale and hard to read? I hate the new quotes and I hate the fact that you can only quote one comment. I want 2 or 3 to be the limit because then you can see the comment thread.

To force our resignation to this new layout, they think after two weeks we'll just be resigned to our fate by then and they'll be able to do what they want without us having a voice on the matter.

You can quote two or more posts manually if you really want to.

Only quoting the last comment avoids those repetitive long quotes of pics.

3 days at the most should be enough IF we have no choice and just need to swallow these changes without having a vote.

the main purpose of forums is to discuss, right? but now it is really hard. i don't want to backtrack many pages just to know what is being talked about.

We have not said that, if by two weeks you end up hating it, we will go back to the old one.
We just wanted to try something diff.
But of course, if it doesn't work we can always go back to what it used to be.
We are just encouraging you to try it. There's no harm in that.
Trying something new is always a shock, but after a while you can make up your kind as to you still hate it, or like it.

Even tho I actually like this change, I do agree that it might make pagecatching more difficult.
