So how many of you changed back to the old Boards format?

Bipolar Joe

I did, because I hate change.

filmbuffboy

I was tempted to because of some of the technical bugs affecting the new format, but sure why bother reverting back to the old one when its only a matter of time until we have no choice to use the updated version

After a few weeks, I've gotten used to the new layout & actually like it now.

whinging about it wont change the fact that the old version wont be available forever

I think Bi-Polar Joe hates change. Anyone else getting that vibe?

I stuck with it, as said, it'll end up this way anyway so might as well get used to it.

I switched to the old version, but I want to try the new one now.
How do I get it?

Enda Kenny told me he wanted change when he was canvasing for the last election.

I gave him 37 cent and told him to fuk off.

Somehow I don't believe you. Not sure why.


I changed back to the old style after a few min of use. Prefer the old home age and the Boards characters that have been there for years. The new home page is too bland and boring. Also, can't beat the Cloud skin.

Should be at the bottom under forum skin, I think the default one is the new one. OR at least I hope so since that's what I'm using.

Thats the Facebook attitude.

I choose the interface that I like best, boards, Facebook and elsewhere. If a service, be it website or other says I have 'no choice', then I stop using their service.

I am using the old theme because I like it more than the new.

ahnowbrowncow

I changed back. The new one is too big, can't see as much with it

Dear fifteen year old girl, learn how to use google. No timeline Facebook

Or learn greasemonkey, which ever you find easier.

You literally stop noticing it after 24 hours in my experience.

I had to focus for a second to recall whether I am using the new or old skin ; it's the new one, but I find the functionality the same ; no better, no worse.

The new format hurts my eyes and my brain!

Topper Harley

I like the new skin. Don't really know why. I haven't noticed any big change and it just looks more modern I suppose.

davetherave

I didn't change. I'm still rocking out with the brown theme.

Me.

The new outlay is like a holocaust for eyeballs.

Yeah, same as. I tried switching back to the old look, for the banter, discovered it was worse than I remembered, not better and then spent ten minutes trying to figure out how to switch back to the new look. New look has grown on me.

Cloud is the best skin, by far.

I always used the black background and white text before and have just changed back temporarily to it now and I miss it. But that's all I miss, other than that, I prefer the new layout.

I actually find it far better...the new layout is harder to navigate around

Change is no good.

JONJO THE MISER

I changed back straight away, if it aint broke dont fix it.

leggit

I changed back to the old format, but now I don't know how to change it to the new one!!

Captain Chaos

If it's not broke don't try to fix it.

The new boards layout is like the new gmail layout, both are too big, bright and spread out. Harder to read, less info on screen and takes longer to get around.

Still using the old green skin here.

--Kaiser--

It's too bright, I'm not changing until I can get the green skin

Yes, had problems on Safari on my iPad and the new navigation is poor.

Is there an option to switch to the old design without logging in?

the guys have stated that it wasn't developed for ipads/iphone and that the touch site is much better suited to erm touch devices.

Was disappointed at the new layout so i smashed my new laptop to pieces with a hammer.................true story that

I've no idea what the 'touch site' is. The old full version worked fine on iPad, so taking that away is hardly progress. They should consider prompting users of iPad etc to redirect to the 'touch site' if they intentionally took away support for these devices on the full site.

the old site didn't work well at all on an iPad constant zooming in and out pain in the ring.

Thanks. This is very poor compared to the full site. Very disappointing.

Worked fine for me.

Define the old format. You mean the one that most people would have signed up to, or Old Beta?

To answer your question I went back to neither. Although would go back to old beta as it suits my smart phone as cant get used to 'touch' on it.

:pac: 4 minutes. That's how long it took you to read the post, follow the link, "fully evaluate" the touch site, decide what your stance was, return to this thread, and post your response
