Don't like the Upgrade at all

One piece of good news for CK is that the traffic numbers are up because of everyone bitching about it!

Jillian's right. The new format is too cluttered.

Yep, big 24" screen that has the board wedged in the middle.

You can checkout any time you like,
But you can never leave!

Purgatory?

 

[Statistikhengst]

I was a member of a board that did alerts, instead of the user cp with the auto subscribed threads there, easily followed.

The board subsequently died. No lie.

You can turn the alerts off. And the CP is there, it just looks different.
Got to the top, let the mouse hover near your username, click on your name within the floating menu. This will open your user profile. You will see "profile posts", "recent activity", "postings", "information" and "areas".

Click on "information".

There will be two links, one to your postings, the other to your threads.

All the other stuff you need is in the hover menu.

I can't stand this! Typing a response is so god-damn slow!

Ah-ha!

For those unable to post, go into Preferences and make sure two boxes are UNchecked. They're the 'Use rich-text format...' and 'Use Flash-uploader' ones. Looking for the 'delete (my unusable account) just now I noticed them and now I can post.

Site still giving script errors, and taking 3 times as long to load each page, and looks ugly (if only because it's different but I might stick around afterall.)

Ooh...Trying Disable All Scripts, not only does it clear up the Script error every new page, but instead of 30+ secs per page it's under 9s. Thought it'd remove the post ability but evidently not.

That's the ridiculously long route as opposed to our traditional CP.

And two clicks now, to quote a post. It's doodoo.

I don't mind the physical appearance itself, but this new interface sucks.

Robots seem to love it.

Where is that option?

 

[Delta4Embassy]

Where is that option?

That's with Firefox and the Script Blocker add-on thing. Is no actual disable all option, I just did em one by one.

 

[Darkwind]

Jeez people. Sack up already.

 

[dilloduck]

I still need someone to direct me to where the smiley etc are. I was told they appear as I make a post or reply but I still don't see a thing .

[dilloduck]

When you click on reply, look up to the bar that starts with a B and look over to the right and see a smiley. Click on it.

I'd rather have active topics be a bull down menu and have the threads go full width. This layout is a had too much dead air.

If by doodoo you mean incorrect, you're right.

It only requires one click to quote a post (the Reply button).

Thank you, please drive through.
