I agree with a lot of what was already said. I know these changes were meant to be improvements but I'm not sure how it's working out. I hope it grows on me to but I have noticed that I've stopped coming by as much....and that's a sign that the formatting is starting to remind me of the other hair boards that I stopped visiting some time ago.
The biggest complaint seems to be that everything blends in together. The colors, while peaceful, are too light to the eyes. Things aren't highlighting the way they once did and and it's like we're frustrated that we don't have the option for a "classic view". Personally, my latest frustration is that when my display is in "hybrid" view I can't see which thread I am on within the thread tree. Before it hightlighted so I'd never lose my spot. Now it barely highlights at all and when I'm finished one strand and go back up to find the next one or to skip down, I don't even know which one I'm currently on. All of this and I have excellent vision.
Also, I'm not sure if this is a feature that I've missed but is there anyway to customize the front page so that we can immediately see the page that we want to see as soon as we log on? No offense to the Feature of the Month but I'd like to go directly to the forum as soon as I log on. If there's a feature in this software that allows us to set up what we want our front page to be, that would be really helpful.
Still like most of us, I'd like to thank Nikos for checking in, answering questions and putting up with our frustrations. Although they can't please everyone and all thoughts may not be addressed, I hope that enough of them are made to make it tolerable.
