>>>Please get used to this .. this is how it will be for a few days...
Does it mean, it will revert after the "few days" ?

RoyG · Post by **RoyG** » 29 Apr 2010 05:41

It is currently not possible to access the forum from the "Board Index" page. I have to use a bypass route like clicking on "Active topics"

This is too psychedelic.

I resign.

Too much change. I understand such change is good to prevent Alzheimer, but since I have not been diagnosed with it - yet -I think I will try chess or the like.

Congratulation on creating such a nice look. Seems like I went to a old govt. office last night and in the morning some magician has changed it to a corporate one. So easy to read this Font too!

It's the "Webmaster" virus which resides in a rootkit and gets the Webmaster's password and goes into action once in a while. Usually settles down after a series of

On persisting I find that there appears to be a time lag of less than a minute after opening a page before everything becomes normal. But before that time elapses - i goes to a dummy page with no graphical content but just some text displaying names of users. It look as though some script or something is taking its own time to load.

New theme looks good. A contemporary look and a new change. Change is Good!

RoyG · Post by **RoyG** » 29 Apr 2010 08:45

The rim of the BR logo looks a little funky.

AdityaM · Post by **AdityaM** » 29 Apr 2010 09:07

What the hell happened to BR!!
Can we have the old look back please!!!!!

the previous look was more formal, business like.
This look reminds me of paki forums!

Sanku · Post by **Sanku** » 29 Apr 2010 09:49

I hope the warnings disappear with by the time the look is changed back to the old one.

Can we PLEASE have the old look back

:beg: "plead"

merlin · Post by **merlin** » 29 Apr 2010 10:17

Yuck!!! Whoever did this has pathetic taste.

Neela · Post by **Neela** » 29 Apr 2010 10:25

Finally, better font appearances on Ubuntu/Firefox!
Thank you admins/Seetal!

Gaur · Post by **Gaur** » 29 Apr 2010 10:28

This is a much better look. The previous look felt too outdated. The forum members are complaining just because they were used to the old look. Give them time and they will start liking this look better.

Anantz · Post by **Anantz** » 29 Apr 2010 10:41

Man this new look sucks! Can we please have the old look back... The older one looked pretty formal and that was what held BR forum above the rest of the other forums. Please please revert back to the old look!

Gagan · Post by **Gagan** » 29 Apr 2010 10:46

Not too sure I like this new look. Too artisty and non serious.

I liked the earlier one better (And the one before that even better - where the number of quotes were not limited to 2 and the font size of quotes was not reduced)

But let this one remain for a few days, lets see if we get used to it.

PS: Is it possible to have a Sidebar where poster's name ityadi is displayed, so that it will be visible seperate from the post. Now it sort of blends in with the post. I find it difficult to identify individual posts if I scroll through a page quickly. Also having different colors for alternate posts is a good idea.

Is there a quick post option planned?

Gagan · Post by **Gagan** » 29 Apr 2010 10:51

Everything is ulta pulta in this new version.

There is a side bar, but on the ulta side.
There are edit / delete post buttons but on the ulta side.

Can you really save your post? Or is it disabled?
Can we mango posters have PMs to other posters puleeez?

Gagan · Post by **Gagan** » 29 Apr 2010 10:53

Can we set the "view active topics" page to auto refresh say after every few minutes or that it auto refreshes each time a new post is made?

Gagan · Post by **Gagan** » 29 Apr 2010 10:54

How long before the edit post button disappears?

Can we have more smileys please? I would recommend two since these are being used very often by members:
1. Lungi dance smiley
2. Ack-Thoo or Puking smiley.

BRFites seem to oscillate between these two emotion sets majorly these days.

These smileys are almost never used:

.
Some smileys are very rarely used, It seems I use them some times:

Mostly BRFites use these (Except Nayakuddin who is impartial to all smileys when posting IB4TLs):

alexis · Post by **alexis** » 29 Apr 2010 11:29

I want my old forum back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

rohiths · Post by **rohiths** » 29 Apr 2010 11:37

Please restore the old forum.
This is too bad

Dmurphy · Post by **Dmurphy** » 29 Apr 2010 12:08

I don't know about you guys, but I love it! Cheerio!

And what about the "quick reply" facility you were to add?

sunny y · Post by **sunny y** » 29 Apr 2010 12:27

Please bring the old layout back.....This doesn't look good....

Sid · Post by **Sid** » 29 Apr 2010 12:29

Its quite hard to read against blue/light blue background of posts.

changing background to white will help..

Other layouts looks kool IMHO

Yogesh · Post by **Yogesh** » 29 Apr 2010 12:33

Hmm this looks cool but as Gagan said looks totally ulta pulta

Also back ground colour can be worked out also..

Muns · Post by **Muns** » 29 Apr 2010 12:48

Egad!! I vote for having the old look back as well, easier to read posts with a plain alternating white and grey. Similar to Keypubs where posts where easier to read especially when the thread starts getting close to 72..

Ron · Post by **Ron** » 29 Apr 2010 13:15

I think side bar on the left side wil do the trick because its conventional and this forum is a very serious forum.. other changes IMHO are cool..

This new forums/w is a complete disaster on my cellphone. I am unable to access on my cell.

i just observed a new place to click "Skip to content" what in the name of hairy mussarraf is that?!?!?!
i ain't clicking it unless it is explained, lest i do some thing horrible.

chaanakya · Post by **chaanakya** » 29 Apr 2010 13:42

The upgrade is a welcome step. I congratulate BRF in achieving smooth upgrade. Its wonderful

JimmyJ · Post by **JimmyJ** » 29 Apr 2010 14:12

The blue is too bright making it difficult to focus on the content. The old color scheme was a beauty in comparison to many a forum board on the net. Hope the themes would be switched back.

Manu · Post by **Manu** » 29 Apr 2010 14:39

Can we at least vote if the majority like this look or not?

Has anyone tried reading BR on Black Berry now

I sure hope it is a temporary thing....

Old Version looked much more professional and was easier to read as well...

kapilrdave · Post by **kapilrdave** » 29 Apr 2010 14:59

The old forum looked sophisticated in grey. Simplicity has it's own calss.
The fact that the user info column has gone to right is making hard for all to adapt to new look.
Also, the first thing you want to see is the person who wrote the post and that is not as easy as it was before.

kittoo · Post by **kittoo** » 29 Apr 2010 15:02

I too liked older look better. It was unique 'BRF' look.

Austin · Post by **Austin** » 29 Apr 2010 15:19

This new look is horrible and too jazzy , can we go back to the old one ?

jaladipc · Post by **jaladipc** » 29 Apr 2010 15:27

Geeeeezzzzz....... whats wrong with BRF?

wokeup now and logged in........... I was a in shock for a moment that whether it was hacked or something

Me dont likey this layout

JTull · Post by **JTull** » 29 Apr 2010 15:54

Don't like this new look. Everything is in shades of blue or grey. Would have liked better colour contrast to make it easier to scan the topics.
