    The colors are killing me and although my eye sight is excellent some of the super tiny lettering is beyond annoying.

    AMEN! I think I initially griped about that. I still think they're working on the ability to choose skins though.

    I am used to this kind of things now. Throughout the years, I have participated in alot of forums that all - at one point or another - have changed their format and/or layout. It used to bother me alot, but I have just discovered that it does no longer gets me as bad as it used to. I felt a bit sad and lost only the first few days on here, now I am fully comfortable with the new appearence. :)

    Yeah, I mainly use my POS 1st. Gen iPad, so it's easier for me to adjust settings here, but yeah, I hope they get the skins sorted, at least, soon, because from time to time, I'd like to get to using my computer for foruming again.

    Hmm. Can't say I can relate to that.

    My computer has turned to crap, so I now only use my pad and with the quick and easy zoom it offers, I have not really been bothered by "tiny lettering" you are talking about (and I have terrible eyesight).

    Perhaps it is your screen that is too bright? :p

    Oh that? I never used that either. I don't need to advertise my mood every time I post. :D

    He is more than welcome to join my club. :)

    My eyesight is horrendously terrible and cannot even be fully restored with glasses because my optic nerve is playing tricks yet I have no problem reading the text on this page.

    You don't have the ballz to leave us anyways. You love us all way too much to let the layout ruin the romance. Just admit it. :)

    The old platform was just awful. It was slow, it was inefficient, you couldn't even post pictures, it sucked. This is a HUGE improvement.

    I don't have any problems reading it. I do have a difficult time determining which page number I'm on in a thread because it is just a teensy bit brighter than the other page numbers.

    Happens alot to me as well but nothing that ruins the overall experience. AboveAlpha is just against change and is a little grumpy because times are a changing. :)

    No, it's just a small thing. Overall, I am very happy with the change. Remember when the old forum would tell us that it was too busy and we couldn't even post sometimes at all? I don't think that's happened yet with the new platform.

    I definitely like it better now. Much more user friendly, indeed. :thumbsup:

    I was skeptic at first too, but I have come to like it better than I previously did. Only thing I miss are the flags. Would at least like to see "location" below poster's avatar.

    There are other similar programs where you can, so they might be able to make it so that you can display where you are from under your avatar picture. You can put whatever you want there though, so a lot of people would probably not share where they are from anyways.

    There is no trolling for attention on this board. If you want attention, you could try conversing like a normal human being.

    What are you talking about? Care to share what activities or what you are you talking about?

    Do you want to troll? Do you really want to? You already are old. Lol. I've seen your picture, doughboy. :D
