not because I'm one of those people that just like to complain, and not because I'm afraid to learn another way of life, but because this is the time to try to fix the bugs and offer suggestions. That said, I've been EXTREMELY impressed with the new features. I never understood why people would use thread view insteaed of topic view so I admittedly dismiss that change. It's just so much cleaner in topic view because you don't have 55 replies running down your entire browser page. Also, it's not that hard to determine if you should read or not. If V posted it, read it. If K or Tony posted it, read it. If mdeer posted it, and ESPECIALLY if back posted it, you read it. If it has 35 replies you read it, but more than likely have to go back to topics four replies down because it turned into a catfight (which are fun too)
A few things I've probably been over critical of however are:
There is SOOOOO much white space. I like the fact that it is clean, but it is a little difficult to distinguish where some things start and end. It is much better looking on desktop and ipad which is probably better for most as I use mobile for 98% of my board surfing. I just liked on the old layout how there were different shades for different topics in an alternating pattern. However this will probably take me one more day to get accustomed to.
On my iphone it does not display who the most recent person to comment is. Not going to lie, if it is one of the couple people mentioned above (as well as a few of you other knuckleheads) there is about a 50% greater chance I will open that thread. This however is not really an issue at all.
I don't really know how it works, but there seems to be a difference between quoting someone and replying to someone as how it shows up and counts posts. Maybe I'm crazy though and there is no difference at all.
This is going to use A LOT of data on my phone looking at all these videos and gifs haha. That is probably both a benefit and curse though.
Bottom line is that all of those things are things that I had to reach on to even complain. WIth every new system there seems to be a ton of errors and flaws, but this is running about as smooth as possible. @Vernon and staff HAVE to be thrilled with the site so far, and I feel like 95% of the board is as well.
Good job rivals!
Now let's get a little more gold and blue in here!
Last but not least, the Gary Jennings video THAT I WAS ABLE TO WATCH IN THREAD RATHER THAN GOING TO ANOTHER WEBSITE... DAMN Garry Jennings is going to do great things in a Mountaineer uniform.
