"You have enemies? Good. That means you've stood up for something, sometime in your life."

Can we have a poll as to whether or not to change it back? Give us something Bungie.

Don't know if this has been reported, but on the Group Members page the bottom links where you select pages are not completely showing.

I love the new layout! I can go into groups and ignore the rules sticky even easier than before!

Jump feet first into Hell in ODST Recon, THE place to be on B.net!
"Fifty years from now, when you're looking back on your life, don't you want to be able to say that you had the courage to get in the car?"

Honestly, I like the formatting of the posts themselves, with the larger avatars, and the actual thread layout seems a little better. I would actually like the new style and design if we were able to keep the old master forum layout.

I also like the new layout of the private groups. If we could put the stickies back on top of the main forum but keep the new style, I think it would actually look really nice and be functional as well.

Why is it when someone posts new content in the files forum, the authors name isn't shown until AFTER someone has posted on the content?

edit: sorry for double post. figured if someone wanted to answer my other part shouldn't be included in a quote...

I second that nomination.

But to be fair, it should be held a month from now or so. Doing that would let people get used to the new site making the poll more accurate.

I'm wondering why the 'message user' button didn't get its place next to reply and report. It would look a bit little big but it's weird seeing it at the top.

I'm a little disappointed that we can't see who posted the latest reply. That was one of the reasons I even bothered to click on half the threads.

I imagine the lack of a name for who posted the first topic when there are no replies is just a bug.

I didn't bother to read through the rest of the thread, but those are the main issues, if you can call them that, just from what I can tell. Anything else will probably look normal after a while.

One more thing, on the stickies, shouldn't there be a button on the front page of the forum that takes you to the last post?

i like this way better. since the stickies are on the side, they aren't hogging up all the room in the forums, so people don't have to worry about their threads dying so quickly.

the only thing i don't like is that we can't jump to the page we want before we go into a certain thread.

that was my little shpeel.

Achronos and also going back would mean just a huge waste of time on the whole web teams part.

There was a man from Allentown who fed his son to death.
He calmly watched him gorge himself until his final breath.
And there he stood, surprised and shocked above his tiny frame.
He said: "I bear no blame for this. I only share his name!"

Give reasons. Also, don't sign your posts. We can see your name to the left. Well, now with the update it's above the post. Whatever.

Thanks,

Don't like the new font on the forum topic listings. The rest will take some getting used to.

Just made a few changes to the buttons, padding and background images. Should "feel" better soon (may take an hour or so for the changes to go live).

  • 01.30.2008 5:55 PM PDT

Yup. Much appreciated.

I'll continue hitting CTRL+F5 every once in the while.

Okay, I'm starting to get used to the changes fairly well. It's not terrible, but I definitely prefer the old setup. Maybe this has already been answered and I didn't notice, but I still don't see why it needed to be changed. : /

Oh. Okay, how dare we ask them to waste their time after they fixed something that wasn't broken, and didn't ask for any member input. Then changed it with, as far as I know, no warning.

The most I would wait is 2 weeks.

I actually like all of the new changes, but the new groups are the best part! Keep up the good work guys!

I agree with the poll. My one request about it is that a 51% like to 49% hate shouldn't be considered a majority.

I will stand by and hold on to the only thing I know true The Assassins

Man go figures just as I get used to the new system Bungie goes and changes it again. It's nice although I don't like the way that the sigs are set up now.

Trying something once will increace your chances of success, because you tried it. Try someting twice, and your chances increase yet again - seeing as you've done it. Try something a few thousand times, and your chances of success is exponentially increased; this increase would likely provide success every time

I hated it at first; it made my eyes bleed. Now, it just seems natural. But staring at the stickies for more that three years then moving them, it just seem a bit weird for me right now. So far though, I am getting much more used to it. Great job web team!
