Same here.
I like having access to the Excalibur web site from the forum but I'm not to crazy about the page layout.
Perhaps it will grow on me??

There's a lot of wasted space on either side. Taking some getting use to, but, it stills seems crowded in here.

I do like the set-up. One main page, makes the forum part of the company website. But, I rather have the larger lay-out.

I'm need a larger box. :lol:

I'm won't be reading posts here again until it's cleaned up. :cry:

Shoot me a msg on Facebook when it's back to normal.

I don't know what all the fuss is about. I personally prefer it this way. It's back to the way it was a few months ago, with the exception that URLs still can't be posted as direct links.

Hate it. Too much wasted space on the side leads to too much scrolling around.

I thought we went through this all once before, and were satisfied with the "subsilver2" fix?

My Blackberry loves it! I don't care about spam, don't care about spacing.. If it helps get rid of the "reach around" crap, I'm good with it. Never knew the Excalibur folks to do something to intentionally make our lives harder.

I knew i shoulda bought a smack Barry but wife insisted a dam uphone. As for a reach around... Doesn't sound like a bad thing to me.

I don't know if it makes things any harder but I really think the over-all layout leaves a lot to be desired. Way too cluttered, hyper-links too scrunched together, all things largely due to the poor use of screen space. Dark colours are very visually distracting, lack of grid lines dividing topics is a minus. Even things like the two Excal logo's next to each other at the top of the page is something a web page designer or ad layout designer would avoid.
Am I being nit-picky? You better believe it! It's in my nature and part of what I do for a living is pick apart equipment designs from an ergonomic and aesthetic stand point. We're always struggling to make things visually appealing and easy and friendly to use.
Anyway, this is what we've got like it or not. I don't think it will change much. It's a large undertaking to re-vamp something like this. Hopefully next time Excal will keep with the same K.I.S.S. philosophy with their web design as they do with their equipment design.
