Most of my forum activity is done with my iPhone as I'm rarely in close proximity to my laptop!  The search function doesnt seem to allow me to search for specific items in the forums when I'm viewing on my phone.  For instance, on my phone, if I did a fourm search for "Tamiya acrylic wash", I received a nice itemized list of forum posts that in some capacity dealt with Tamiya acrylics washes.  Now, I get no forum hits, only FSM type articles which are great but sometimes not as specific as I need them to be.  Im sure theres a simple solution and I'm just missing it.  Other than that, I'm ok with the new format.

Yeah, forum navigation seems to be at least three steps backwards compared to the last two iterations of the site forum....

I am very much in Infantry phase with the changes here... Wink

Maybe it's just me, but the white doesn't seem as overwhelming now. Perhaps I am just getting used to it more.

I like the white background a lot better than that awful tan, and the webpage seems to work a bit better on my old desktop.

Hello!

Just got back from the mountains (vacation) and here we have the new forum. As usual, some features don't work or don't work like they should. OK, this is normal, and expected. Doing things that were usually done, easily and effectively is now harder. That's normal and expected, too. We will cope with it, put some amount of work in it (fixing the bugs, learning) and move on. So those are the costs. What are the benefits of "The Change"? Tim, Aaron - could you please point that out to us? Because I'm wondering - is it worth it? Like the old folks always say - if it ain't broke, why fix it?

Of all things, I wish the "Your discussions" function would work like before. The new way would also be OK, but as an option.

Thanks for reading, and have a nice day

Paweł

All comments and critique welcomed. Thanks for your honest opinions!

 My subscriber only content is still locked out. Anybody else has this issue?

I shot Aaron Skinner a PM over a week ago regarding this but have yet to get a response.

I just went to my messages and there is no record of my PM to Aaron. I wonder if he ever received it?

Well, I suppose it wouldn't hurt to try another message to state your case.  You might find some help by calling their customer service line.  I had an issue after re-newing my subscription where they had an old address associated with my account and it blocked me from entering.  Lady on the phone fixed it right up.  Couldn't hurt to try that.  =]

I'm mostly over the format and functionality of the new site.  I suppose we'll all get used to it, but this white is still just too white.

Two weeks later and the white still sucks in a most epic fashion. But it's "here to stay" so I hear despite how much we hate it. Glad someone is litening to there users.

I believe the old adage

"If it ain't broke don't fix it"!!!

I'll hold off on judgement until they iron out the bugs!!

The white backgound doesn't bother me as much as the fact that I can't follow/subscribe to my favorite threads,even after clicking on the suscribe and favorite tabs,and messaging the guy who posted the announcement about the upcoming change(my profile doesn't indicate that I even sent him a message). I HATE it.

I havent been here long enough so I never got used to the previous format but I do feel that it seemed to be more easy on the eyes. The white definitely does bother me and creates a form of tunnel vision. After closing the page and leaving my desk every evening it takes a few seconds before the wash fades away and i have my vision back. lol... 

 

Maybe an option for us to individually choose a color panel related to a theme most of us build? For example RLM, US Army or Navy colors?
