I bet if a rep from head office said they were going to change the readability of it or whatever everyone doesn't like about its appearance then the customers might just be patient enough to wait.

But I very much doubt that is in the works.
We are in fact working on the readability issue; adding color, and changing the font type/size. It'll happen soon!

To be perfectly fair, it was a member that asked the "do you like..." question. If I were to post (which I did) it would be more in the vein of "Please report any bugs or comments here," etc., so we would have a more constructive discussion than 200 "it sucks" comments. But that's just me

Next question?
1. There's no spellcheck button; if you're typing and you see a word underlined in red, it means that word is misspelled (that's how the spellchecker works now).

2. Smiley icon is right there where it ought to be...

3. Preview Post is available if you click "Go Advanced" instead of "Post Reply".

As with most of these comments/issues, we're either working on a fix, or we've already fixed it, or the answer is just that the function is there in a slightly different spot. In no time, we'll all be as used to it as we were to the old layout -- but now we have better features and a more modern look. And mobile!

Have you looked into the mobile readability. I love how every thread only has two or three letters then starts a new line. Good news, each thread and post makes for a long read. Bad news, I no longer have interest in visiting the site.

From an android phone. All the pics are compressed width wise and stretched height wise. The only way they display in the correct format is if I hold phone sideways. The quickjump section does not display all the forum sections either The curser does not work properly when typing these replys, if you try to manually move curser to insert or correct something it jumps around all over the place making impossible to go back and place a period between "either The" in my last sentence. Even if that's fixed it still looks like garbage.

This new platform is a complete joke.

The UI has ruined the forum.

I can't believe the owners approved this!!!

Think about it this way, you have a resteraunt, a very large portion of your customer base is regulars. You completely redid your establishment without asking your loyal customer base for significant input or warning. Now the table talk between the regulars is that THE REMODEL WAS A FAILURE. Your answer is that your looking at new lamp shades and different steak sauce. Do you understand your customer base? These patrons of yours are predominatly type A successful people who are used to getting what they want, when they want it and how they want it. Your customer base dines on steak, they are not your dollar menu koolaide drinking sheep. Treating them as such will leave your customer base feeling disrespected, trivialized and insignificant. These people like fine dining and your trying to feed them cold French fries and now telling them that your trying to get them an extra packet of ketchup. have you read any of the multiple page threads here Mr. Corporate IB? The general jist here is that these customers of your venomously attack anything but exemplary customer service. You customer service is lacking. Im not sitting here bashing, I am offering you reality.
