[refrains from 56k joke]

Bungie could have kept all of their forum threads since it's creation and it would not matter to 56k users as all your computer has to do is load a page, it doesn't load every single thread on b.net!

The lack of signatures at the bottom of posts is irking me.

The arrow buttons at the bottom are cut off.

Arrows at the bottom are cut off, and the width is definitely too wide. This new look will definitely take some getting used to. The layout of the front page feels jumbled instead of cleaner.

Old school Bungie, born and raised,
In the Septagon is where I spend most of my days.
Relaxin', maxin', posting all cool,
Talking about Halo, life and some school.
Got in one little argument, and the mods got scared,
they said "You're gonna get banned and your member title'll be bare!"

I have to say, I enjoy the Signature appearing when you mouse-over the person's avatar... Nice touch!

"Paradox is a pointer telling you to look beyond it. If paradoxes bother you, that betrays your deep desire for absolutes. The relativist treats a paradox merely as interesting, perhaps amusing, or even, dreadful thought, educational." - Leto II

I like the new location of the signature too. If I want to see it, that's where I'll look. It takes quite a load off the old scroll wheel.

Hey Tom, why dont you delete all toics that are ancient because they are taking up space that could be used when Halo 3 comes out. and it would help out the 56k users out there.

あんたばか?

My biggest complaint is that the advent of the Newer Hotness hasn't made the peons any smarter.

You'd expect otherwise?

I mean, the best we can hope for is that the more sophisticated look would make B.net such a toxic environment for them that they'd be forced to leave or face death...

It may not make them smarter but at least you have better weapons to deal out to them... us.

What about the moderators? Must they take a compatibility test with the new hawtness? Wet noodles now dry?

I have returned from the Untamed Lands. MOAP is dead.

More backgrounds for your personal page plz. Myth and Oni themes would be nice.

That's not really a complaint.

A dry noodle is far less fear-instilling than a wet one...

As for the older topics - those aren't going. Sorry, but there are several million posts there - that would be a lot to simply delete. Regardless of what you think, it still has value.

My final complaint is the buttons. the buttons are just words. now imo thats not very "hawtness" to me. i suggest a shiny version of the old buttons or just new buttons for the new hawtness.

thanks,

I like the fact that the sigs are gone. 99% of all sigs were stupid. If you agree put this in your sig.

Then use your mouse to view them. Most people's sigs are a distraction from the body of the post.

I'm sorry, but the way signatures are now is here to stay.

Posting in somebody's thread to call them stupid and a "peon" is not helpful and also may help to provide fuel to some people's views of the politics of stratification on bungie.net (views that I normally do not share).

Why not politely but firmly explain that old topics are fun to look at, barely take up any space (I believe Achronos mentioned once that all forum posts ever created on Bungie.net only take up a couple of gigs of space on one hard drive), and make absolutely no difference in the time it takes to download the front page?

I don't know... I'd sacrifice a few nano-seconds of my time to have images replace the simple hyperlink posting operators...

I prefered the ease of use when clicking post, quote, or preview

Sigs still exist, just in a different place. Move your mouse over someone's avatar to view them.

Ah, look at the lonely people...

My main complaint is that some elements are misaligned (read - screwed up) in Firefox. I thought you said this new site was tested against Firefox?

But it's not cleaner. In my opinion this is a bit more jumbled then the old-New-Hawtness was. Everything is just...I dunno, it's weird. I liked being able to simply click on the Forum on the right to get where I wanted to go. And where are those helpful instructions for text mark-up? And whyh do we still only have 10000 characters for typing?

And I just noticed that my sig has been cut off making my final little quote look pretty stupid.

I also don't like that there isn't even a cheat sheet for the commands. Bullets, italics and such. I know them but new users will be left in the dark

Suggestion- A simlpe white line to seperate stickies from normal threads? I think it might make it all a bit clearer.

I agree. Things would get kinda distracting with all that was going on in sigs sometimes. I really like this much better. Granted, when groups are brought back it may be a little harder to attract new members through sigs but that is only a small problem. Now, coming up with new stuff to throw in that little box...

[]\Signature under construction/[]

This upgrade is new and different, hence I don't like it. Everything seems out of place, some things completely gone. I guess I can get some consolation in the fact that the mods have to work extra hard deleting the same topics and clarifying things over and over again.
