    Hi AQ staff,

    Thanks for implementing the new version of the forum software. Surely it gives a new refreshing look to the forum after looking at the old forum for several years.

    Some points to feedback:

    1. Profile not working. Whenever i click on the "My profile" on the top right corner, or "profile" on the username/icon within a post.

    2. When inside the section, i find the listing of the threads difficult to "read".
    - the left hand side icon is too big,
    - the size of thread title font is the same as the sub title ( author)
    - worst when the thread has been read, the title turned into a light blue color font
    ( For previous software, at a glance, all the thread titles are very prominent and outstanding. Now, you have to search for it )

    Hope this will helps to make the new forum better.

    Kudos to the efforts of all AQ staff and admin.

    Re: Feedback on new forum software

    pm function is working for me.

    i just find too many pop up with details when moving my cursor around the new posts list. maybe the pop up for the last column is not necessary bah.

    it takes time to get use to it, so overall it is a great job!

    Re: Feedback on new forum software

    Don't like the new look as very mechanical feel. The old look may be old but feels home.
    My 2 cents of feedback.

    The layout/theme feels very "hard" or compact and it makes it tough for me to read the titles.

    Re: Feedback on new forum software

    Thank you for the feedback. I'll be looking into them. Please give us few days to get things in order.

    We will not be reverting to the old format. We will however, try to find nicer skins for the forum.

    This is a major upgrade, and many of the tweaks we had in the past cannot be applied blindly any more. It will take us some time to get everything back in.

    Why use punctuation? See what a difference it makes:

    A woman: without her, man is nothing.

    Red = hot thread = high number of views or high number of replies.

    By the way, for new people who click on AQ and start browsing, they will not know this is a fish forums, as doesn't look like one.

    Robert, can you recall whether the message was "Your file(s) have been successfully uploaded and will appear as soon as a moderator has had time to review and approve them."

    We agree, but it'll take sometime for everything to get into shape.

    Please understand that we have full time jobs and lives outside AQ. We can only work on AQ outside work hours and other commitments. While we wish we can be more professional about the upgrade, we do not have the resources for it. Upgrading a website like this is not the same as upgrading desktop software on our PCs. Many settings, security, backups, custiomisation, plug-ins, etc have to be installed and done.

    Thank you for the feedback. Please keep it coming, but also please be patient.

    I agree. I find the new theme and layout not easy on the eye. It's difficult to read the light blue title of the thread against a white background with a light greyish tinge below.

    The Threads listing pages, yes. I think a darker colour will be easier to read.
