Also, I lost my DNF$, should I email the mods to get them refunded? Didn't have much but ~ 800 or so. Also all the ribbons and gifts, are they cancelled now? Search results are so hard to view and read...

I agree. It's a mess! I really hope the admins aren't going to keep it this way. The previous design was perfect, fast and clean! iSpy is also gone it appears.. :(

Edit: and where is my user rating? :uhoh:

Edit 2: there it is.. My user rating were gone and then it came back. Also, I need to click buttons twice (e.g. to edit a post) for it to work.

I agree with everyone, this new theme sucks, usability is terrible and not to speak about the user experience!!!
Why have you guys updated the forum to this awfully vBulletin 4?

My guess (and also what I hope) is that this is the default theme for VB4 and that the admins are working hard to get the old look back. ;)

I just lost my post before i posted?

The Aussie Flag is missing? Riots have been started over less!

Also YouTube, Twitter gone, and I'm needing sunglasses to view this now.

Im pretty sure i had 272,365,000 DNF $ before!!! :lol:

I'm sure this is a test of some kind to see if i crack, LOL.

If I remember rightly, a lot of people said similar comments about the old design before it was moved around a bit! I'm guessing a lot of you don't like change!

However, saying that, I also hope they will be tweaking a few problems, and bringing back the old plugins that are missing... also, is it just my phone or is there no mobile version?

This is my honest opinion - sorry mods.

I really can't stand this current version. It looks really, really cluttered and the colour scheme doesn't help.

The gradients on the thread listings also hurt my eyes a bit (I'm colour blind and suffer from motion sickness sometimes when using a computer, although I'm online loads and 99% of sites I visit don't hurt my eyes in this way)

The fact that a lot of the good old features are lost is annoying (but as a big forum owner I know that this is a common enough issue which sometimes can't be helped), however at the moment I'm more concerned about the fact that I'm struggling to use DNForum.com

Hmm, can't seem to edit posts. To expand on what I said:

"also hurt my eyes a bit" - I meant to say "quite a bit". When I browse DNForum.com at the moment, it hurts my eyes and just looks cluttered and messy.

I love change. Change is necessary. But this new layout breaks loads of usability and accessibility 'rules' :)

It is slower to move around within the forum.
