Default Re: Forum Changes Poll for Se4ers

It is a big change not a little, and as I already posted, the more I get used to this new forum the more features I find that do not work or are just missing. And I even could live with the reversed order. And I really did miss the attach file to a message functionality - about once a millenium. Not worth to make such a fuss about it with such a big loss of other features.

Most things hint to a very basic design flaw and I doubt it can be fixed without immense effort - which makes me fear they will not be fixed. Cluttered fonts showing that the basic programming was done in non-standard, IE-only oriented HTML. Many little details like forced preview, quoting without the author of the quote shown, not displayed where new Posts are in threads, large empty spaces reducing readablility showing basic design sloppyness as also seen in these unreadable poll results and in the unboxed but wide spaced thread list - this underdeveloped 1.0 software sure needs A LOT of fixing.

Why not take something working and proven, like PHPBB? An even short glimpse at any PHPBB forum and it is easy to see that the readability is MUCH better. If you are used to standards like that, this forum is just plain depressing.

I'm sorry, I am sure it has been a lot or work, I appreciate the effort but not the result. If there is really the intention to make it better, it would be great. But even more work. In this case, maybe a bug/missing thread should be started. There are so many (valid) complaints in so many threads, I think it is difficult to even keep a list.
