@n9inchnails to post on your phone press the sheet of paper with the two red arrows first. I am doing this on my phone so I know it works.
It’s not 1997 anymore? >:-)
I can handle the white (though it’s not my favorite), and I do appreciate the text editing features.
I guess it’s just that for me it feels scrunched up.
I mean I’m sitting here with a wide screen monitor, and I’m wondering why I’m only using the center 1/3 of the screen?
I guess the other thing is the relatively larger gaps between posts. It just feels like wasted space that takes more scrolling to scan to the bottom of the page.
I know those are fairly petty complaints, but what can I say? I’ll take ease of use over ‘bling’ any day.
I really prefer this layout, rather I haven’t accessed the site for a long time before now…
This is so strange!!! But, now that I have the ability to do funky things, I’m going to underline all the important things! STRIKETHROUGH!!! So cool3!!! Down lowMuahHAHA!!!
we need an emoticon of a face taking a pinch!
;))
Sorry folks, I don’t like it at all, I’ve had internet problems for the last 10 days, been a bit on and off, logged on now and I’m like WTF??? I’ll get used to it, but when you’ve been used to one format nearly 4 1/2 years, it’s certainly different.

@theratroom thanks that was the problem, it works now. :bz
@n9inchnails glad to help.
I liked the color scheme of the old version better. Not a fan of bright colors.
Hurts my eyes too. Also the text appears very slowly when type in the comment box. The added features are ok, but overall I prefered the elegant smplicity of the prevous version.
Since we should be honest, i have to admit that i dont like the new look at all. Was totally confused at first sight and tought: “Damn, they got some error!” XD Well, it isnt a error at all but unfortunatly totally not my cup of tea.
I would also prefer a darker theme, as it is easier on my eyes.

P.S First time I have ever used an emoticon.
The coat of the site is more clear,more appaisant,nice metamorphosis

Thanks for your hard work you’ve done for this site, Snuffster but, I must be candid and say that I’m not a fan of this new theme, I’m afraid.
The gray “grunge” background is too busy and it doesn’t help readability at all. The button backgrounds are just odd. Stylewise this looks about 7-8 years old. Boxy. The comments font is too small. Also, I’d rather see sans-serif.
Some of the new posting features are very welcome improvement; hyperlinks, pics, bold , italic, underline, strikethrough and lists will make posting easier, and when done right helps readability.
Now, what will not help readability is giving users too many crayons. See what I mean?
(I’ll add some stuff because it was cut off by the fecking smileys. Also, the paragraphs seem to have huge padding.)
People will use these useless features just because they are there. This will make any site gaudy and jumbled.
I have learned to accept that those animated smileys are the way many even literate adults now communicate, but luckily they can often be turned off in users preferences. Not sure if this is possible here.
(Edit: Found a way to get rid of the blinking smileys locally with Adblock Plus_, so no complaints there from me anymore. I do understand that I’m in the very small minority in disliking them.)_
Like I said, not a fan.
Right, listen guys!!!
a. stop messing it about go straight back to the old site you weazel!!
b. nice to see Snuffhouse at least paying lipservice to the 21st century, try a few more and we’ll vote!!
c. keep this, Ive happily/begrudgingly gotten used to it and with winter coming and my sad gettin bad…
