I will no longer pay for this site if it remains this way. It looks like they went 10 years back words!!!!!!

fireboatpilot 05-17-2013 10:56 AM

Hell NO! Why change something that works so well for sooooo long! What happened to our personal info under our Avitar boat descriptions etc? This sucks!

On Time 05-17-2013 10:56 AM

So there is one advantage! We found one!!! Yaay! Larger picture sizes for the photogs!

But the look is cheap, too bright, harder to use, and VERY UNPLEASANT and TOO DISTRACTING TO LEAVE OSO OPEN on my huge work desktop with four 23" monitors, so I CLOSE IT down or MINIMIZE it since the change. (Are you listening advertisers?)

And put back the line showing the boats we own.

It is way too bright and there is not enough contrast with the light grey boxes and bars...they need to be darker. gmail did the same thing with light grey, drives me nuts...its more like a dark white.

Wobble 05-17-2013 11:16 AM

No!

inthetundra 05-17-2013 11:21 AM

I don't. First of all, where is the line under the avatar showing what boats we own? I thought this was a boating website. Secondly, this look is much less user friendly and will be harder to get used to. I hope its saving them a lot of money.

First of all, more than half of the people here that actively post don't even own a boat. Secondly, If the layout of an online forum affects you.....you need to get a life!! :D

Have a nice weekend everyone!!:ernaehrung004:

If you are correct (I would like to see the stats) then this is not a boating website, it's just a chat room, and the advertisers seeking boaters for business purchases are spending their money in the wrong place.

mittens 05-17-2013 11:40 AM

I hope thats not true.

Sucks - took me five minutes to figure out where forums/new posts were this morning

tim mccray 05-17-2013 12:37 PM

I hate it... Hate change period, for the most part.. :) But this new look sucks, it's hard to read and navigate through the site, doesn't flow at all. Not sure why they changed but they made a huge mistake in my opinion.

Wasn't one of the main reasons that site was started was because corporate IB was phucking with sh!t? And why do I suspect that this "improvement" was probably done by corporate to add consistancy across the board in their forum formats making serviceability easier?? Not to mention its probably tweaked to use less bandwidth so its cheaper/more profitable them?

tjmitchem 05-17-2013 01:02 PM

Not liking it much. The presentation is something we should be able to set in our preferences.

Harvey 05-17-2013 01:50 PM

No, and don't like the color

He means to have a button at the bottom right of the page that instead of taking you to the top of the page that would take you back to whatever forum the thread you are reading is in, so you can continue in that forum.

pouriton60 05-17-2013 03:17 PM
