dudara

blah

Don't like having to scroll down :-(

Sherifu

solid job.

Praetorian

Very nice, well done

BlitzKrieg

the horror the horror...








actually not that bad except there feels like there is this huge GAP to the middle left which is a bit meh(under help desk etc) thats all that bugs me. otherwise great job

I like the new look. It's very clean. But lots of people are going to be very scared.

Although I'm not too crazy about having to scroll down now, everything used to pretty much fit nicely on one screen.

It's good to see the blogs featuring so prominently.

Villain

It's too big imo.

Big Ears

nicely done .

BlitzKrieg

your gonna just repeat that in every *NEW PAGE* thread are'nt you monkeyfudge?

spartacus93

Kinda like it brighter, and stuff

RuggieBear

i likes it.....much clearer.

Orion

Get rid of those icons on the homepage - or at least reduce them. Like blah said I don't like having to scroll down to see the latest posts either

CuLT

Heh, that was weird...

7thSeal

Wtf?

koneko

Scrolling is not cool.

nice one, looks grand, thought the other way was just as good though, but i like it, fair dues lads.

hostyle

At last. Eye candy for boards. The old layout was so 2003.

joe316

i have to say well done to the guys who implemented it, great work

voxpop

the chat room doesnt work....

okidoki987

Jasus Give us a warning :eek:

DigiMarc

I agree the big icons look terrible!

BuffyBot

Can't say I'm a fan at all.

BlitzKrieg

they now should have a competition to fill that really annoying gap under the help desk,faq section....i vote for random photo of boardsie user everyday(will create untold spam threads)

JackKelly

crappers.Went away for a second, and came back to new boards. I like it though.

Ha.. you caught me out there. I did change it slightly. This was the directors cut of the post.

I just thought this would be a far more sensible thread to post in rather than the WTF?!?! thread in after hours.

weemcd

i for one do not give a fúck about blog posts.

take them off the front page!

Citizen_Erased

Don't like the layout at all , the previous one was just perfect but when your username turns up in huge bold font , that is dreadful. Bring back the old one.

yes and if this was taken away people would not have to scroll down

Vokes

...and its in italics too, yuck!

Ardent

I second the motion to dump the blogs.

Goodshape

Crazy. Just hit refresh and got a hell of fright.

Good work though... totally unexpected but looks nice! Good to have the old heads back too.

BlitzKrieg

woah....supermerge.

Same 'complaint' here.

mayordenis

i like it alot very cool

BlitzKrieg

woah...it shrunk!

Cloud

Thanks for all the comments, and compared to previous front page changes they've been very positive.

Of course, it is still in flux but the new page will allow us to integrate better with our forum software, reusing buttons, etc.

There are more latest posts being displayed, 20 as opposed to 15, which explains (some of) the scrolling down.

However, I've turned down the cellpadding so you should now see more at the top of the page.

I've reduced the username size too... Hope this helps.

John.

/me focussed on the negative and ignored the positive. I like the look and layout of it - it's very professional looking. I just don't like the size of the icons - and if they were reduced a bit then there'd be no scrolling to see the latest posts. Couldn't give a monkey's about the blogs

monkeyfudge

hehe... In my Firefox Tab the title of the front page looks like it says Ireland's Largest Bull

Winters

Down with this sorta thing. Too ugly vB imo.

The old, old www.boards.ie/new from last year was soo much better. What ever happened to that one?

Snaga

three thumbs up!

Mixie

Ooh, fixed already, that was quick

Vokes

Yeah, with the name fixed, its perfect now.

simu

Very pretty! Well done!

BlitzKrieg

still that annoying gap for me...gonna have to put a sticker over it...

StickyMcGinty

i dont like it at all, can you not let the user choose which they want??

galwaydude18

Ya I Love It! Thumbs Up To Ye For Doing A Good Job!

FreaK_BrutheR

I like it I must say Its more friendly and fun than the other which is what the community is all about really. The icons above the user name are a bit too big though.

Good to see the old heads back as goodshape said!
