The old one wasn't broken.

yet people kept posting asking for an upgrade

along with all software and all things computers.. you have to upgrade from time to time..
are you still using your windows 95 machine?

Im sure there are new features you will enjoy with the new version..

^^So true, hell it even took me a while to get used to the new DVDTalk logo when Geoff switched it a few years back.

I see our sig lines are back and the bar colors between posts are much nicer

This happened the last time he upgraded and people were pissed off until he took away most of the new features and made it simple like before again. This time it's a much more drastic change... I don't like it either.

Yeah, I hate to hop on the negativity train, but I'm having a hard time finding much of anything to like about the change. I'm sure some things will reveal themselves as great features over time, but right now, it's just really annoying.

das

the toned-down blue is much, much better.

This doesn't work at all on my Commodore 64.

Forum logged me out twice now and I haven't closed my browser or navigated away from the site.

Also - there's a somewhat neat feature where you point to a thread title and it displays the text of the first post, but it only works 1 out of 10 times. It's neat except that it doesn't work all the time and also because it obscures the other thread titles when it does work.

Ive been in since early early this morning and havent been kicked out yet
and the mouse over has worked every time for me so far... not sure if its something different with our setup

I remember posting about premium services, but I don't recall asking for a general upgrade.

It keeps doing that to me, too. I had typed out a long reply, only to be told I had to log in. When I tried to go back to rescue my message, it said "looks like you're trying to post - you are not logged in". My typing had been erased.

scroll down.. this is the more recent post asking

What I posted there...

I posted: "people don't like change" or something like that.

Anybody want to predict what time (EST) that it will be when twikoff makes his 1000th post today? I'll say 7:12 pm.

It's getting hard to wade through all the posts to be able to pick out what this thread was about.

maybe i am alone in this but the site is running hellishly slow for me. i am running safari on a G5 mac and it's frequently taking at least a minute for each page to load. sometimes it's better, but being on dial up, i hope this isn't permanant. i may have to try firefox instead and see if it does better.

I can understand the need to upgrade, as I believe there are new security features in vB3. That said, since this is a complaining thread, I'd like to ditch the almost purple-ish color scheme and revert to what we had before. Also the usernames are too large, and I'm not a fan of the beveled buttons (I like the old flat ones). And yes, change scares me.

Yes. Especially the usernames.

do I get to vote??!?!
112 votes in the last 7+ hours..
and you want me to try and hit 1000 in the next 4 hours

thats a tall order.. but Ill see what i can do

i was just thinking how well the site is running.. everything seems super fast.. which is a suprize, since geoff mentioned that the serach index is still building

No problems with speed for me. Or being logged out.

I prefer the old tan and pink folders indicating if there had been a new post

Agreed. Remember me does not work and it is irritating as hell. I would just assume have the old version. It appears only graphical upgrades were made. I am more concerned with not logging in twenty times a day.

Yes. The new icons seem too big.

In response to the mouse over, I found that if you click the mouse button it will turn the feature on and off (just clicking where there is no link.)

* EDIT * Actually, it appears that does not work after more use

I am using Safari on a Dual Processor G4. Latest software. If this info helps any.

So far I greatly prefer the old system where I was logged in for about two years straight. I have logged four times today.
