I don't like it! I can't see a seperation of things, and the colors are way too light/bright. BOOOO But more importantly, WHERE'S THE "VIEW UNREAD REPLY" BUTTON I would write something cute about it, but I have a family meeting downstairs. Any other thoughts?
The new bigsoccer sucks arse. And while all things new take time, I'm trying to figure out why a change was needed.
I like the overall changes, but I would prefer to have posts separated with two different background colours like it used to be here. (yellow, white, yellow or white, gray, white etc) A long line of posts with white background is a bit tiring to read.
Could really care less about the way the site looks. Content and ease of use are far more important to me. Content, I assume, will remain the same, so no problem there. Nothing is as easy to use when you first stumble across it, so no idea on that one. If the notion is that the redesign will draw in new posters and lurkers, and it works, then well done. Can't imagine it will chase folks away. Is a bit slower, though? Maybe just heavy traffic right now, but the pages aren't loading instantly, as they did, say, yesterday?
HORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIBBBBBBBLE, should be back to mthe previous format, may the things easy not pretty thats the point
AGREE ! Takes to long to load & why all the the garbage on the left side? The posts & replies are to small.
I don't like the new format at all. It's visually jumbled up. The old format worked just fine. They took something good and replaced it with a trainwreck.
I dont like it but I dont hate it. I guess it was easier to use the old style more... becuase it wasn't so jumbled. And I realize that was said a few times already, but yeah Thats what I think.
Well, at least we got a clear division of posts now... and the FIRST UNREAD REPLY BUTTON It will take some getting use to, but I guess it will be fine. *shrugs*
Let's pretend for a moment that I'm a technically-challenged old man. What does a "Kick" or "Bury it" do?
Okay, after a couple times in, I would say the redesign is a problem. I don't understand why websites that work well (and this was one that worked very well) feel the need to change, for changes sake. Eventually, we'll all be used to the new format, I suppose ( some will drop out, because it is slower and more jumbled and not as much fun and focusing on this Kick crap (which I don't understand and really don't care to). But if everyone adpats, will the format be changed again? Of course it will. The product here is 100 percent about content, and most of us are interested enough that we will scratch our way through a clunky slow format. But I have to say, having given it a chance, I'm really disappointed by the new look. If you're going to change it, make it more simple to use, not more complicated. Maybe it was necessary and somehow improved the chances for revenue streams, if so I can accept that. If not, I'm baffled.
I can't believe we ALL actually agree on something. Ya the new format is done horribly. If this site wasn't big then I agree with the way it is done, but it is BIG so this is a bad format. Color scheme would be good between posts, I don't think we really need a preview of the first post for each topic as well. Plus, all the old stuff is gone!
The Capt is right. This new format is awful. I'm reminded of "new" Coca-Cola, the "new" Ford 500 and the "MISL" when the NPSL and WISL merged. Big Soccer has now officially reached out to indoor fans by dreaming up this "new" format. In 4 months we'll all be used to it, but for right now Oh ya and the new ABA, that is another level entirely. Joe Newman makes Steve Ryan look like a genius.
