DVD Talk Hero - 2023 TOTY Award Winner
My biggest complaint against how things are right this moment is that the sigs are defaulting to the same font size as the rest of the post. I can't remember how it was on the older version but at least with this presentation, it makes the screen too busy and harder to read.

FYI. I've started a bug list and am addressing many of these issues:

There is way too much purple and that bright blue bar between posts hurts my eyes. I always thought the DVDTALK theme was dark blue/grey/white and even a little yellow.

There are a number of posters and people I look forward to seeing here. And with the ignore feature undone there appear to be some more I do not.
We control how good or bad this place is. If we try ideas and they do not get the support we figure they should, than that is a sign this place may not be what we want. But for those of us here it is dependant upon us.

I know they are the default ones, so I am hoping we can change them, because I think they look kinda cheesy.
But, I must say kudos to Geoff. The upgrade went off with a (large) hitch! He works really hard to give us something essentially for free.

Wow, I HATE the blue bars between the posts and the ad under the first post. I gotta get used to the new smilies.
Also, wasn't there a seperator line between our post and our sigs?

I agree with most of the complaints and problems here, and I'll add one of my own.
It would be nice to have some separation between the post and the signature. There used to be some sort of underscore that divided the two, now they just run into each other and is a bit confusing.

i think the only thing that I don't like is the ad's right below the first post, but it looks like that's getting looked into. So it's all good here. The new smileys are OK. I like how you can add MSN Messenger now in your profile instead of just AOL and Yahoo, since I never use those. The quick reply is pretty handy and can see my self using that quite a bit.

quick reply has been here for a long time
the nice addition to quick reply is the option to manually turn off your signature.. so you dont have to include it in every post
this is very nice for when you post many times in the same thread
