I have noticed this since coming on this morning, and I don't know whether to say that it's good or not. I do notice, however, when posting, that the spoiler tag buttons and the size tag buttons have been removed. Can someone elaborate for me, or will they added on later?

I am also noticing I can't change my avatar in my profile, if there is another section please let me know.

I've also noticed that thread titles are no longer shown in the main index page for each section. Is there a reason for that? Is that temporary or a more permanent change? I like it better with the thread title shown.

Also I had the hardest time myself changing my avatar, but I think that's just a buggy program I was using. It doesn't seem to want to save dimentional changes that I make so it I can't fit within the size requirements of the site.

And while I'm at it I am having trouble maintaining my genus, I keep switching from Homo, to Canus, to Felis at random intervals. Got an explanation for that Tony K?

Two other things I noticed:

1) Although the index is showing new posts correctly, when I click on show new posts, it takes me to the posts that were new yesterday, which has not happened to me before.

2) I am using one of the alternate skins, and it's not showing on the forums.

Neither one of this is a big deal, but I thought I'd note them in case you didn't know.

Also the reply button is gone. The only thing to reply with is the quote button.

I expected changes after the survey, but damn that was quick.

edit:
Also some of the tables are broken.

There is a reply button underneath the last message. It's to the left and a little bigger.

Oh I see. It is kinda like what the post topic button used to be. Thanks for pointing it out, my eyes float right over it.

Everything is in flatview with no threadview button. I don't like this at all! Sad

Take this, drink some Sprite, then watch Genshiken.

As for the new format, I have no clue. They haven't even posted anything in the staff forum about this.

EDIT: I just noticed a glitch. If you switch skins it always goes back to default in the forums.

Reported posts don't get X'd out anymore. Apparently, I'm able to report my own posts also, which I don't recall being able to do before...

I'm actually glad they're doing this though. The forums have needed an update for a while.

I like the new color scheme a lot. Never was a fan of red.

EDIT: Although I do kinda miss the index page naming the topic that the most recent post in a given forum was in.

That was actually temporary. The blue one right now has been the default since I joined back in '03.

I've PMed you time and time again about how to improve yourself. I'm not saying you should change just to fit in here, but at least know where to draw the line every now and then. Rudeness begets rudeness.

I don't think I've even seen you apologize or admit to being wrong once around here. A bit of humbleness can go a long way as well.

Aw man, I wish the old format was back. Without the spoiler tag, people will be spoiled by tagless ones. Without the colors and size button, how will we live like this.

Since changing your avatar isn't avaliable anymore? Does this mean I'm stuck with this avatar forever?

We should really PM tempest to bring back the old format, the avatar-changing section, spoiler tags, color tags, and size-font tags.

EDIT: You can still put your tags in by typing them down by memory.

You seriously need to lay off the forums for a while if the size and color buttons are a required asset of your daily life.
