How do you like the new forum look?

[John Price]

I like it. Mobile is much better.

No it's not

 

[the halleJOKEL]

No it's not

oh yes it is and it isn't even remotely close

 

[John Price]

How so?

 

[the halleJOKEL]

How so?

larger buttons that link to the things i use (watched threads, top of the page, easier to go to last unread post)

i didn't use the previous mobile version of the site because it was hideous, and the desktop client was awful with the pop up ads you couldn't click out of and the constant jumping around while it was loading causing you to click stuff you didn't want

the text was also borderline unreadable unless you zoomed in super far, but zooming in that far made the site actually unusable.

I was riding the train home from the Caps game using the new mobile and I didn't see anything that impressive about it.

were you not impressed by actually being able to navigate and read the site? that is the lowest of low bars the old mobile experience set. the new version isn't fantastic but it is certainly an improvement over what we had

Javascript is so slow, it's ridiculous.
Page down, miss 2 threads. Because of frames? What is this, 1996 on geocities?
And yes. I wanted to "mark forum as read". I don't need to verify that and click it again.

Makes me not want to return.

You people don't understand how important it is that spotify be embedded. It's the biggest benefit of the upgrade.

Some of the new features are nice, but the overall look of it isn't that appealing to me. Agree with you when you say it's comparable to the NHL site. I quit going to NHL.com because the site wasn't navigatable anymore and there was just too much going on in each menu. HFboards isn't as bad as NHL, but it will take some time to get used to.

@Preds33 The website is acting wonky today, I've had to disable the sidebar repeatedly because it won't remember to keep it off!! Is this happening to anyone else?

 

[silverfish]

Does anyone know how to collapse or re-size images?

 

[Desdichado93]

I don't mind the new look, but I prefer the old version a lot more.
1)Avatar sizes and resolution were much better back then.
2)I like the country flag shown below your location, it was unique

I agree with you. The new forums looks modern but is imo a step back from
the old vB.version which had a better readability.

From what I have experienced, it seems like it is a local cache thing. I have noticed that each "session" I have on here, it resets. Maybe hit the home page first thing when you come to the site, turn it off, then go on your way.

 

[John Price]

It is clear that the moderation is taking our input and rolling out the appropriate fixes over time which is good

 

[Jetsfan79]

Are the polls working? (including the one for this thread) I can't seem to vote and it says no one else can either.

 

[Bumpus]

Me still no likey.

Clearly a conspiracy intended to distract from the 3-peat. I am disappoint.

[Rob Brown]

Not a fan.

 

[FossilFndr]

Is there a way to delete saved Alerts? I really don't need to know who replied in a thread several days ago and keep a record of that.

Thanks

 

[donkshow]

Seems alright.

 

[HockeyThoughts]

It's a massive improvement in my books. The old format was extremely outdated.

 

[Dugray]

It's fine. Spotify is good.

 

[John Price]

What people don't understand is that HFBoards desperately needed an upgrade to the 21st century. The old forum was very outdated. How many other message boards do you go to? Have you actually seen what you can do on them, that you were not able to do on HFBoards until recently?

This is the best hockey message board in the world, better than /r/hockey. It's time we modernize our servers and allow embedding of tweets, videos, and pictures without antiquated [yt] tags.

 

[LarryFisherman]

/r/hockey is definitely much better.

 

[John Price]

/r/hockey is definitely much better.

How so?

 

[John Price]

They don't even have avatars on r/hockey. How could it possibly be better?
