OT: New boards

[CookiesAndMilk]

This new format sucks. Maybe it'll just take getting used to. Ugh.

edit: JFC, signatures are huge! Maybe I like it after all...

I had to adjust mine.

Shoulda kept it enormous, like this one:

Hmm … this is going to take some getting used to, but at first glance I don’t hate it. I like that you can see how many people are viewing a thread.

So far not a fan. 503 Service errors, gateway errors, 8 attempts to log in and then it said I hadn’t done the Captcha - when none had been presented as part of the log in process. Then got logged out somehow 2x, then refreshed and was shown as logged in. Lots of gremlins in the machine. I know it will get fixed. Is there a place where after an “upgrade” they post what the version enhancements and new features are? That may help users better adapt to these site migrations.

Tried to post this response and kept getting an error message - please try again later, LOL. Then it put me on the countdown that you must wait XX seconds before attempting, Tried to post it at least 12x then stopped counting…May as well say try a different discussion forum if it keeps up this way.

Doesn't remember where I left off in each thread have to work my way through it every time.

Avatar are very small

I don't see any improvements

For about 10 mins I thought I had lost my 13+ year old account. The server error kept messing with me entering my password, so it kept telling me I had entered it wrong.

Wouldve sucked to have had to start over. Thankfully it finally worked after some persistence lol

Seems like it's made for phones or something. So much empty space on a 24 inch monitor.

My eyes are literally burning trying to squint and read, although maybe I should take this as a sign to go get my eyes checked -- put on some chicks glasses who has terrible vision and they improved mine significantly. Kind of liked going around with everything blurry for the last decade...however, if it means not being able to post on here then I think it's time to finally fix it.

 

[NedPlimpton]

the dark theme is a win and much needed.

The rest of the stuff I'll get used to in time, I'm sure. Even if I never quite like it.

Still getting errors every other page I try and load or post, though. Good to see it's all still powered by a sleepy hamster on a wheel.

 

[Mr Kot]

Have some more 503 errors my man

I took the Red Pill and seem to be back in the Matrix...

 

[AddyTheWrath]

How are you guys even able to post messages? Lol

 

[oilers'72]

How are you guys even able to post messages? Lol

Yep. The message box is at the bottom of the page, as usual.

 

[Digger12]

Heh...

20 years on this board. Nearly a half dozen 'migrations'.

 

[CupofOil]

I would try to post a message.... but 503 error and...503 error.

This new format will take some getting used to, it's looking similar to other message boards I frequent. Not necessarily a good thing, everything is....smaller now which works for mobile but not for laptop.

 

[AddyTheWrath]

I just meant the server keeps crashing. I'm surprised people are actually able to post as much as they have been.

 

[Garbo Man]

Honestly not a fan of it at all so far. It's obviously still early and it's being worked on but I enjoyed the layout and look of the boards before this "update". Don't worry guys I'll still be around though

 

[Cloned]

I can’t even login on desktop without getting a 504 error.

 

[OfCorsiDid]

Pretty pissed. The only way I could log-in was to reset my password.

Yah, for us old guys this is a challenge. Better get my magnifying glass out.

 

[bobbythebrain]

Oilers goaltending is better than this site right now

 

[NedPlimpton]

The way the usernames are displayed is really rubbing me the wrong way. The little oval thing looks cheap and unnecessary. I've seen longer names also take up two lines and it looks even more gross.

 

[McDNicks17]

For anyone wondering why the margins take up half your screen, you can click the little arrows button in the bottom left to get rid of them.

 

[brentashton]

so how’s the migration going?
