The only thing I don't like about this new forum are the colours, I used the blue version of the old forum and this one is a little to brown for my taste :heh: other than that I like it :) .

Actually no, but that's just me. It's a bit confusing, I'll need some time to get used to it.

i like it, it's like a new car, you want to press all the buttons and figure out stuff you didn't know you had before!!! ^__^

I hated that Burning Board so I'm glad it's gone... As for the layouts it's great. Tons of shortcuts and new features. A lot of annoyance is now gone.

You just have to get used to it. Everyone likes the old ones most of the time, but when you get used to it, there's not gonna be any problem. I like this one as well as the old one also ^^

I like this forum more than the old one. This one has much more options and of course the login box is on the top which makes it even better.

I'm use to this setup from another forum I'm a member of. The forum itself still looks the same, so on my part, it doesn't change its overall feel that much.

I like the new layout, the only thing I miss are the emoticons.

There are still emoticons. You just have to click on the reply icon. They don't show up for quick reply.

I hate having to hit a button to enable quick replies.

I also miss the feature of being able to show/hide (+/-) different sections of the forum.

I don't really like the new forum layout yet. The colors are very bland/boring and the menus are a pain to navigate. It took me a few minutes just to figure out how to send a PM through the private messaging area. One thing I really liked about the old forums is that I could see who's in each board. I hope that feature returns.

I like everything else about the forum though, especially how it doesn't show if you've edited a message :D

Heh. Good thing I joined the forums before July so I didn't lose much. I really don't mind the new forum layout and I sort of like it, however it would be great if it had more styles. There are a couple of forum bugs that I found, but other than that I found the new fourm easy to navigate.

I liked the last one better atm, but it hasn't even been 24 hours since the switch, so I'm sure I'll change my opinion later. All new things just take time to get used to, and I'm sure GHD will make some improvements here and there. :)

I don't have a preference for either layout, they're about the same to me. The only thing I dislike about the new layout is the 'next' page option being changed to '>>'. I prefer clicking on 'next' instead of '>>' which is harder to position my cursor accurately at (or maybe it's just me O_o)

I like it and it looks reasonably good. As with all new things of course, you have to poke around to discover options and settings to suit yourself. Although that's in my nature anyway, not everyone likes to do this :)

Better than the previous incarnation? I'd say yes.

some people are talking about how this forum colour scheme is too bland, dark, brown, tan or whatever and say that it'll take some time getting used to.... but i never changed the colour scheme from the last one (rather i didn't even know you could, silly ne?) so i see no difference! ^__^! i tried changing it to other forum schemes but it didn't feel like animesuki to me, so tan it stays!

it helps me differentiate between other forums i frequent, and change is good!!! well, not all, but this change is good!

I'm used to vB3, so this is better. A ton more features. The theming engine is incredible, so just wait a while and you'll see an awesome UI.

I like the old design better, and i thought that it was really annoying that i had to re join, especially cause i missed the date by like 2 weeks. I'll get used to it though, and plus, there are some advantages from the new layout.

/me wants the old icons back

like "new posts" & co ... the current one are larger and uglier, and so each line for a thread takes more space :o

oh, fucking hell no~~~

i have to click on quick reply on somebody's post to quick relpy, that is so fucking inconvieniant! i mind as well click post reply! >_<

almost every button is too small, the text sizes are too small, the reply box in quick reply is too small, and the quote text is BORING.

i'm not in a ranting mood right now, but there are countless things i want back right now. :frustrated:

Yea I agree. I miss the quick reply box too. I basically just have to post a reply to get a message out now.

I also am having trouble with the signatures colors text. For some reason it doesnt work for me. Eventually I will figure it out.

Overall I dont mind the new board except for the fact that I had to re-register. Other than that I dont mind it (besides the few "server too busy" messages).

like everyone is saying, just need time to get use to it, and hopefully it'll improve later as handy as the old one ^^
glad it went back up yet not so glad got deleted :heh

Yeah...that would be nice. And importing new skins is a 2min job :)

P.S. I like that now that nasty "Edited by then and then" is gone when u edit your post. Also the smile box is ***** up. And as we all do I'd like to see old style quick-reply box
