I see nothing to complain about. I open the forum, scan through to see if anything looks interesting, reply or start a topic if I choose to -- just like before. It looks different but, for my purposes, it hasn't changed much.

I am with Paul on this one.
When checking the forum on my phone (which is 95% of all my visits) I can't see original tread poster. Just number of replies and last poster. Don't like that.
Also, it keeps signing me out, even though I always select option to stay signed on.

Iniatially I was not too warm with this new format either. :cry:

However, since then I have come to really apppreciate the LACK OF spam and especially the porno type spam I'm seeing since this change has been made. :D

For that reason alone, :wink: I'm pretty satsified with what we have now.

I'm only on the forum via my phone. I would love to see who started a thread as well as the last reply. Also, especially in the trading post, it'd sure be nice to see where a person is from as well as their stats. Basically, I'd love things back to how they were...minus the spam.

I liked the old format better.

I don't get notified of a PM anymore and don't know how to change that.

I spend a lot less time on the site now.

My opinion is "it is what it is." I do not pay the bills so it does not matter what I think. CHEERS!

Go up near the top and click where it says "notifications", on the drop-down click settings, then choose your notifications for email or posts made to a thread that you read .From there you can also choose to be notified by email.

X2. There are some of the forum members that I really like to follow their posts, but can't on my phone see who original poster was.

It's the last/lowest option in settings.

I love the new format. Waaaaay more mobile friendly. The old format was horrible if I tried to access it on my phone. I'm going the opposite of the OP, the new format has me visiting more.

I side with the OP. I don’t like that you can’t see who the author of the thread is unless you open it, this bugs the crap out of me. And just being honest here, Excal hasn’t released anything I had to have in years.

I haven't tried to access the forum on a mobile device, so maybe I'm not seeing what others are seeing, or maybe the options are different if you're on a mobile device. From a pc and a mac I can see who created posts and who the last poster was, just like before. As far as appearance, In the user control panel, go to the Board Preferences tab and the first line on the left hand side says "Edit Global Settings", about half way down there is an option to change board style to "Excalibur" and this changes the board color back to blue, it looks to me very similar to the old forum look. Quotes are especially a lot easier to see. I wasn't too keen on the new color scheme, it all looked the same. I don't post a lot and I haven't tried posting pics or doing much else so I can't attest to whether the new forum actually functions better than the old one.

Just to clarify what my original post was about. It's not a reflection of the fine folks here (many of whom I count as very dear friends) or the affection I have for our forum or Excalibur. All I was trying to say is I can no longer see things as I did before. I can't see who the original poster is or who the last poster is without going into a thread. I also can't see user stats to see where a poster is from or how long they've been here. If we don't let Excalibur know then changes can't be made.....should they decide to make them. That's it. .......and again, I appreciate and thank our admins for all the work they do for us.
