I got infracted for expressing how shitty this forum "upgrade" is in a poll thread, so watch yourself guys. They are apparently a little touchy about their pet project here.
it looks like you got infracted for being mean about it. it seems like they are ok with more politely worded criticism.
People should be mean about it at this point. This is twice in a row they've "upgraded" the forums in a way that none of the users want, and then when it's brought up how crap it is we're told "To bad, this is how it is".
Why even have a poll thread, really? We're all just going to have to run Stylish scripts anyway, because there won't ever be a decent default style installed, we went through this when we upgraded to Vanilla the first time.
Oh well, I'll take that infraction. Someone has to take one for the team to point out how dumb this is getting.
It seems like the poll thread disagrees with this
If you actually read the response, you'll see the overwhelming response "I voted yes because I like the new features, but god the default style is bad"...just like the first Vanilla upgrade.
it takes 5 minutes to figure out how to run stylish and fix it
i don't see the issue
I guarantee that it would take me much longer than that.
But I don't even mind the current style, apart from the blue bars underneath avatars and the little USER things next to them, both of which are glaring and unnecessary.
I mean, all you have to do is google "how do I install stylish" and there are step by step instructions.
It seriously is super easy. It and adblock are the only 2 browser add-ons I run because I normally find them obnoxious and unwieldy
...just installing Stylish doesn't automagically render the page differently. You then need to load up a custom CSS, which as this point you either have to create, or hope one of the ones like Ye Old Style are up to date. It's a little disingenuous to imply that just installing Stylish suddenly makes the headache-induction better.
I got an email last night that I got a 4 year anniversary button. So I guess I have been here 4 years? Ehh, went to see what it was and it was when the forums were under "maintenance."
i am so conflicted on the brazilians. i love their grappling and their barbecued meats and their big butted women. i am not so fond of their mealy mouthed language or their online gaming trolls.

You know what I love about Bradley Wiggins? That even though he could have cruised in the peloton, and had zero risk to not winning the tour, he still got up there and setup Mark Cavendish for the sprint. I mean, it wasn't a ton of risk he wouldn't win, but there was some risk...if he crashed and didn't finish somehow, he wouldn't have won.

I run stylish, but things like Ye Old Style are broken right now...and "users will fix it" has never been an acceptable excuse in any other technology circle, not sure why it is here.
"users will fix the stuff the users made in the first place" is acceptable
I'm donating all my old books to the library today cause I no longer want to move them around, I don't reread them very often, and I like my kindle too much.
I think I should just throw Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged away, instead, right?

Suriko's Ye Olde Style is usually updated within a day of a new forum upgrade.
So no, it isn't really disingenuous when we have someone with a dedicated style sheet.
Ye Olde style isn't perfect atm but it still works and doesn't seem to have broken the forums. Also hides some of the more annoying aspects like the "whose online av blob" at the bottom.
Also, I want the old book marks page back. I use to use it to open a bunch of tabs and just close them. This new menu one not as good.

You missed the point entirely. I wasn't talking about fixing Ye Old Style, which is a user made script, and will be fixed by that user.

I don't want to look a gift horse in the mouth. Free is free and I both appreciate and really like this forum, but come on. It's really up to the website designer to make their website not look ugly.

I have a badge for being a user for a while
Weird
It seems odd they would remove the anniversary buttons, since they can't be farmed like post-count ones.
Lol I got 25k, l2p
i am so conflicted on the brazilians. i love their grappling and their barbecued meats and their big butted women. i am not so fond of their mealy mouthed language or their online gaming trolls.
i have a complex relationship with brazil.
Now I'm desperately trying not to dwell on how many posts that equals per day.

Whenever we do, Tommy Wiseau shows up. : (
Holy shit dude. We are so close to the same number of posts it's ridiculous.

are my buttons just broken for some reason?
Is he like O HAI and rips off stripper pants?
i am liking this ceremony so far
much fewer 5'3" fully grown men jumping up and down in boxes
what the fuck are
is this going to become a big thing? posts will rack up Agrees and Awesomes?

People will probably forget they exist after five minutes.
I just hit refresh on my phone and it was some "4 year anniversary" badge popup.
I came to [chat] and saw people discussing and realized I'd better assess from a better vantage point.
I haven't tried clicking any of the : ) or
None of that stuff appears to be in mobile but mobile still doesn't have most smileys working so I wouldn't hold my breath.
I'd
I'd rather not say
*weeps*
okay
what are you bitching about then
when you agree or awesome something it puts your avatar in their post and makes everything look terrible
You're probably right, so I am both agreeing with your post and "agreeing" with it.
they should have used my idea

undoing this update is the $1,100,000 stretch goal on the pa kickstarter
getting rid of vanilla is $1,400,000
i want my money back
So I see. So I could just plaster a tinier version of my face all over the page? Whee.
i thought kenneth branagh was that big lipped black dude...
but wiki says that guy's name is andre braugher
i've been so lost and confused all this time
