so far i'm not thrilled with it either. mainly because there wasn't any warning. or at least, i didn't see any. i am having to relearn how the forum works. it will get better so everybody just relax. if it's too much for you right now just take a few days off and come back this weekend. hell, by sunday i'll bet most of these complaints will be addressed.
funny, alot of these complaints are the same complaints i read (and even posted) the last time CF changed, from the "red" format to the last one. it will get better.

Agree with Jinx. You have GOT to give us the option to turn off the pop up ugly yellow info window. That is terrible and reminds me why most Asian airports won't allow any flickering neon lights in the line of sight to the approach to a runway.
The rest I can live with, though this is a real case for "Why fix it, when it ain't broke?"

The old site would resize text windows, the colors (bluish) weren't fatiguing on the eyes, etc. etc. The new site looks just like every other vBulletin site on the internet. Pretty lame for a Corvette site to have the same carnival look as the F-Body site.
Gripes:
-- The overuse of the color red. This is absolutely hideous!. More templates need to be installed!.
-- The display of user nics should be truncated. Uselessly long nics like – 'myredvetteisfast2002withM6anditsavert' causes the actual post text to be pushed too far to the right.
-- Minimal 'smiley' list. Current list should be severely augmented.
-- 'Location' should be displayed under the avatar.
-- If vBulletin can't handle pic resizing then sig pics should be disallowed. (Post a bloody link we know what Corvettes look like and for the love of God if I really cared about the weather in PoDunk I'd go to weather.com).
-- Performance stinks.
Ahhhh. Now that I've vented I would like to point out that I'm sure given time that the new site will improve and that we should be supportive of our sponsors and our moderators.
I'm waaayyyy overdue for a smoke .. Later.

I liked the "old" forum style allot better, but in the end no matter how much complaining goes on in this thread it is stiill your sandbox. Now were did I put that shovel?
