ItsPeanut 05-17-2013 06:47 AM

Arent you supposed to ask before you change stuff.

turbo rr 05-17-2013 06:50 AM

Nope!

Blends together too much
No

Too bright in the dark!
Blech!
Oh, and I don't like it!! PLEASE change it back to the way it was

CraneHillFast 05-17-2013 07:03 AM

Not a fan of the new colors at all, its almost blinding and it seems like everything blends together. I also don't like they removed the "boats" section from under the avatar. It was always nice to see what everyone's driving.

I'm no Steve Jobs but it seems like they could have made the changes for "mobile" with out changing the colors?

Thebossbultsma 05-17-2013 07:03 AM

This really blows I don't even want to come on the site right now. Hope u change it again or at least back to what it was.

CNC 05-17-2013 07:06 AM

Just read through 88 post...No one likes it...search sucks

AB From Windsor 05-17-2013 07:07 AM

I don't like it and wish you would of left it alone. I liked the older format much better. Newer is not always better.

sleek1 05-17-2013 07:07 AM

No, looks cold and generic. Not as user friendly.

Keith Atlanta 05-17-2013 07:13 AM

It Sucks!

For example, I knew this thread would exist and I wanted to biotch and it took 20 minutes to find it!

Keith Atlanta 05-17-2013 07:15 AM

Does anyone like it? I saw 91 "No's"

575cat 05-17-2013 07:18 AM

Not !!!

X-Rated30 05-17-2013 07:23 AM

Just to be the devil's advocate, I REALLY like the fact that the ads are gone on both sides of the page and the top and the bottom. (But I am sure IB will fix that.) Also, the layout reminds me of the old OSO days with Cheng.

TCBoss302 05-17-2013 07:41 AM

No!

TENSION 05-17-2013 07:44 AM

No, this sucks!

TPro587 05-17-2013 07:50 AM

NO, I liked being able to see what boats people have.

ICDEDPPL 05-17-2013 07:52 AM

no!!

Marginmn 05-17-2013 07:54 AM

No, this is horrible. My first impression was that someone put up an old beta from 1998 as an April Fools joke then I remembered that it's May, then I read that someone actually did this thinking it is an improvement. WTF are you thinking? Terrible. If this stays up past today then I seriously wonder if someone isn't intentionally trying to destroy this place.

mikebrls 05-17-2013 07:54 AM

No

BraceYourself 05-17-2013 07:59 AM

No

averagejoe074 05-17-2013 08:01 AM

No!!

F357 05-17-2013 08:11 AM

Another vote for NO

davidmercury 05-17-2013 08:15 AM

Not that we need it Lol, but the spelling check is probably a good thing to have on here:cartman:

boating37 05-17-2013 08:15 AM

A big NO........

YES. The hardest thing to do on a forum is move from an older version of software to a newer version. The main thing is that they were able to update to the new 4.2 version. That is a huge task in itself. Now they have to tweak the coloring, add in some of the OSO custom features and adjust some features and they are off and running. It looks like posts only go back to 2003, which leaves 10 years of OSO trivial, but there was a major update to OSO in 2001 that folks said all this same B I T C H I N G and it takes a few weeks to respond to and update.

Rick G 05-17-2013 08:24 AM

No I don't like it . If fact now it looks just like that OTHER site that is competing for members . Like it was said earlier newer is not always better . What happened to my personal info likes boats that used to be shown under my name . I thought that was great info about each of the members . The site now looks like it was mass produced like all the rest. Just saying.

wananewboat 05-17-2013 08:25 AM

No, put it back to the old way.

jayboat 05-17-2013 08:26 AM

Slow down, cowboys. :musik010:

I hate change as much as anyone...
but, I've also been a publication designer for a long time.
You come to a forum to type and post images-
these changes shouldn't have adverse affect on your ability to operate a boat from your recliner.
:helmet:

First, I suspect the ads will be back as they tweak the upgrade.
Simplifying the member id block probly helps overall site speed etc?
:cartman:

Page color change from blue to white. Much more readable.
I vote for a 'go' button in the quick nav line between 'genl btng disc' and 'top' buttons.

SkaterMike82 05-17-2013 08:27 AM

No it sucks the BIG one

Comanche3Six 05-17-2013 08:29 AM

It's like reading a Saltine cracker.

4195 05-17-2013 08:32 AM

No I don't like any of it. Hopefully this is a tempoarary one until the real deal comes. If not I will not renew my "paid" membership and I will be a lurker from time to time.

Level III Chaos 05-17-2013 08:33 AM

Problems?

machloosy 05-17-2013 08:35 AM

Absolutely not from another paying member

cougarman 05-17-2013 08:45 AM

No,........WTFrick

Fischan 05-17-2013 08:48 AM

It will take getting used to for sure but I'm hoping they will change it before I do.

carter38 05-17-2013 08:49 AM

No!!!!!!!!

low_psi 05-17-2013 08:49 AM

So far I counted 3 Yes, and the Rest No's........ Ouch!

I am a creature of habit, so I don't like change. I work in IT and deal with change every day because I have to.... Doesn't mean I like it.......

So another vote for No, It Sucks!

HEDGEHOGER 05-17-2013 08:50 AM

im not sure now it works but this thread hasnt showed up on the popular decession section of the homepage :party-smiley-004:

im sure there were a few things that could have been changed for the better but a thread from an advisor would have been nice so we could have all put in our ideads instead of changing it with out telling anyone
