Don't press the red button!!!

Or more to the point, the "Turn beta on" link in the footer of the site.

I think if we act early, we could possibly get a discount rate for a group purchase of eye bleach.

Maybe the boards flux capacitor is broken and they're stuck in the 90's?

That's only for constructive feedback though

I'm not sure how constructive 'it's shite' is but it's all I've got

No.

But can we talk about it here too? Considering it's the most popular forum on the site and nobody seems to have seen the link.

Of course, just letting you know there is that option available where it would be actually reviewed :cool:

The goggles do nothing!

Seriously though. It's way harder to read than the current version.

Can someone screenshot it?

I'm on the touch site!

You can't check your thanks count using it.

Sure that'd be like Space Invaders not showing you Highest Score.

:eek: Christ that is bloody awful! Far harder to read too. I hope thats more the touch style beta, because for the non mobile it's hugely retrograde.

No that's really it. It's just one site for desktop and mobile.

I rely too much on the dark theme now so I won't be going anywhere until that comes in.

It was much more difficult to read a few months ago than it is now. They listened and made changes. So get your constructive feedback in now while it's being tested.

I'm glad I have adblock on and never even saw the option. What a horrible experience to endure.

It's all squished into the middle with mahoosive gray borders for me, I turned it off after about 10 seconds.

Can you imagine what the Alpha version looked like?

Yeah, it look horrible.

This is what I see on beta. Nice utilization of space... BETA

It's like what I would've imagined Boards to look like in 2005.

That white space should only be temporary though, as at the moment the alithogram code response is set on 'tablet' feedback switch through. Android also cross checks at the same code. As soon as it includes the screen width for monitors, widescreens etc, then the section final status will just redirect at a parallel syntax. Basically it's now using command substitution, hence the white space, but soon it will load using a value parameterized pretest.

Bad things;
It's all white.
No Control Panel, and thus;

• no access to switch skin to "Dark"
• no option to set the "default homepage tab"
• no "Sticky header" option

total post of thread all over the place
No "goto last post option"

Good things;
The menu drop down system works a bit better

Someone's been studying the marketing bullshit phrase book...

There's a thing called responsive design and very simple media queries handle this sort of thing. I think the white space is an intentional 'feature'.

I think, ultimately, it doesn't look or feel like a forum, and most people are here because they want to be on a forum.

Designers are always harping on about space. This takes it to the extreme.

I love it :ermm: I think it's really nice!! I'm clearly on my own..

I normally hate change!

Adyx

But Boards in its original style was too hard for new people who are used to Facebook and the like to use. That's why the redesign was done a few years ago and this new beta will be even easier for them to navigate.

Boards condescending attitude to new users - they're too dumb so we'll turn the site into Lego Duplo, a "coincidental" side effect of which is more space for ads.

I hate it.

It reminds me of a workbook for 6 year olds, or one of those puzzle books where you have to find hidden words, but the most difficult word is 'dog'.
