So I'm not the only one who's experiencing this.
Lybydose

Shael_old
now its even worse
Azure_Kite
This is a little too early for a creepy forum degeneration halloween story, guys.
Jinxy
inb4this is the new format
crystalsuicune
Looks like this IS the new format.
And there's a height limit on the signature now,ho hum
Natteke

This looks so... weird...

Not using lines to separate elements... O_O

Eitherway I'm REALLY having a hard time adapting to this new look... @_@

Oh well at least Fuun and Sengoku still fit in my sig 8D

I second this <3

Though I really need to get used to this

Also,
adam2046
I don't like change.
Tenshi-nyan
You ever heard of the magic words "never change a running system" ?

Don't like this new crap.
peppy
Are you saying I should stop working on osu!? That would be a bit lame, wouldn't it?
Tenshi-nyan
At least give us a choice to use the old format.
peppy
Unnecessary choice is bad. Give it a week.

Perhaps you should articulate what you don't like about this new format instead of outright dismissing it?
Stuff such as:

- I don't like larger names (because I am far too used to smaller bold names)
- I like the new signature area but I don't like that it's there for posts that don't have signatures and that the separator is too light.
- I don't like the uniform size of posts and the large space between the content of the post and the signature (which makes posts extend further than I'd like). Also that people with supporter status and no signature have the same sized posts as people without supporter status and no sig.

I like that it's a lot cleaner looking, but these large pieces of space in every post feel wasted.
peppy
Try refreshing? Your last three points are moot and the first one will fix itself with time. The height of posts is already close to the minimum possible due to the height of the left panel. It is already a lot more compact than the old design, too.
Cheer-no
It'll definitely take a while to get used to, but I think I'll like it once I do. Being able to click on names to go to the player's profile instead of having to use that silly black button already feels more natural :)

I mean such as with Azure's post: viewtopic.php?p=1097230#p1097230
The signature extends the post further when there's a large amount of space inbetween the content and the signature.

It's really just my personal preference with the dividing line in the signature, I think that the colour isn't clear enough for the line because I prefer a very clear divide between the signature and the post (Again this is probably due to being used to have a black line to divide the sig).
NatsumeRin
shouldn't the title be on the first line instead of current thing... the posts have a line change at a weird place?

Why can't I just go with "if it ain't broken, don't fix it" line?
No one likes to get forced to something new, especially if it looks uglier than default.
peppy
14:29 <ppy> if we didn't fix anythign that wasn't "broke"
14:29 <ppy> we'd be living in dark ages
Jinxy
This looks fine to me, but I do prefer if the words in a post were moved down, same with this quick reply, they feel a little too high to me.
0_o
You know how there are mass riots whenever Facebook makes a change, then everyone gets used to it in a week?

Yeah.

What did you consider as a "broken" in the thread design, then? It looked all fine :?

I agree with this post so much.
The start of the posts are shifted above too much.

Also:

Please fix this >.>

Edit:
IMO start of post shouldn't align with the username.
Gordon_Freeman0
Return orange icons that marks a new posts please.
peppy
Give it a week with the text at the current location. I guarantee you will get used to it (I am after working on it all day).

New posts are now marked with a pink link at the top of them.

Topic: [Forum]Formatting is going whack [Denied]

Can I list some of the things, IMO should be changed?

Increase the contrast between the profile side and the post side.

IMO the line separating the sig and the post part should be more visible.
Also if you preview it, the line separating the sig is still the same.

The start of the post should be much lower.
And there should be a title at the top IMO. Like what I did to this post.

Exactly those things bother me as well.
Other than that it looks nice.
peppy
Topic title was redundant, will not be returning. Height of text is subject to change; I'm not 100% happy with it yet. The rest were design choices to make it as subtle as possible. Get back to me in a week if you still disagree.
Cheer-no
I think it would look a lot nicer if you had the date go down in the lower-right corner with the Quote button - that way you could keep the text height as is without it wrapping and feeling awkward. Does phpbb let you do that?
Shiirn
Only thing i disagree with is placement of the date. Everything else is excellent, although the border between post and signature could be made clearer.
Kert
Surprisingly, it seems like I already got used to it
But again, I have only 1 complain - that almost invisible line between signature and the post
Edit: Now it's awesome. Having edit and quote buttons like this is very convinient
Hamuko
My only complain is that there's no "Location" anymore below posts, supp tag and contry things~
NatsumeRin
Also one thing, i can't see the "Quote"/"Edit" button using FireFox, but no problem with IE.
And though i may get used to it, have that two button hidden is not the way i like at least for now.
Natteke
Can't see these buttons either. You have to roll your cursor over the post to see the. D:
Luna
Now that you mention it, I don't see the buttons either. Neither in FF nor in IE.
mekadon_old
Not even in android FF as well ;w;
artpiggo
Yes, Safari too. Just notice when NTR talk about this.
Everything seems fine. (it reminds me when facebook has changed) I think I can get used to it soon.
Sander-Don
Errr this looks weird.
But I like it. Kinda.
Gomo Psivarh
If you drag the quick reply box... :(

What browser is that?

Okay.

But I hope it will have no bugs. Otherwise I prefer the old one then.
- http://puu.sh/7C38 <- Letters broken
- http://puu.sh/7C3j <- No Avatar
}

Edit: Also such things like Gomo Psivarh posted.
peppy
List browser and screenshot more than tiny areas if possible.
Takuya
OnosakiHito
Fixxed, sorry.
peppy
Which version of firefox? Try ctrl-f5ing as well.
Takuya
The last I guess. also, ctrl f5ing didn't help

EDIT: 7.0.1
Kert
http://puu.sh/7C2S
chrome
Fixed

Also can this area with edit post information be decreased?
http://puu.sh/7C2X
Fixed

And how about making quote/edit buttons transparent on sides?
http://puu.sh/7C3g
peppy
Should have fixed those issues. Not sure about buttons yet, but expect them to change.
Takuya
Still bugged on ff
Sakura
afaik Avatars never showed up in topic review?
Takuya
Oh yey it's fixed now
Makar
there are bugs with signatures:

(at the bottom of a beatmap thread, small text is cut off a bit)


(when you preview a post)
