change for the sake of change?
I can't understand why ebay keeps making changes to format either.
IMHO the front page now looks way too messy, it used to be a 'here are the last new posts' now its a bit like an over crowded notice board.
But hey, thats progress.
Maybe we can have a twitter panel on it somewhere?

And its way too wide for me too. And as I'm not the only one that suggests there's something wrong.

I thought you used to be able to follow the link to Photo Archive at the top of the screen and browse everyone's.
Now I only see mine.

I can view others from their posts ok - you're right.

Oh - I can get from the members list. Complete with thumbnails - nice!

I don't like the shorter list of new topics, means new ones will get missed easier as they'll dissapear off the list quick.

Make the new topic list as long as it was originally and add the new active topic below and the photos below. Makes the screen longer but not too much for people to scroll down to see them.

This is much better. I always thought it was very baised towards new threads, this way older more interesting and important threads should be kept at the fore front.
this is the only forum i use that has (had) the 'latest' threads grouped as the front page, most you have to click to get to a 'today/latest' page which ive always ignored and just licked through each of the groups/titles that interest me.
I always thought it was a shame being new thread biased as some replys once a thread dissapears off the list get missed.

Im liking this My PC is set to log straight onto 'today.php' normally, this looks like the best of both worlds to me, will be changing my internet settings now to log onto front page, now we can see new topics & todays ones, much better

Definately do not like it, problem is that you get two lists and some posts are on both. It's a bit like buying twenty of something and finding you only have ten. IMHO Ray

Thats a good point, could there be a way to only allow them in one or the other?

i think its good myself. My screen is only 11.6" and it fits - maybe i got a higher resolution screen though

The new list at the bottom is fantastic, as you can see at a glance if someone has posted on a thread you were participating in.

Just needs something to sell in the shop now, ChrisW might be a millionaire this time next year!

I quite like it but I agree with this, would there be a way to set it so a thread doesnt appear in the lower list until it's gone from the upper one? That would mean something of interest was'nt pushed off by something already on the upper list.

Don't like it. New posts and latest activity are going to duplicate. A bit like a certain car magazine where you say " Hang on, haven't I read this article before ? "

It wasn't broke, why did you fix it ?

People who like the new format like it

People who don't like it are either having problems or in the convenience of having to continually change the browser zoom setting.

Like v problems and inconvenience

Looks like a no brainer to me.

Take today for example - of 16 "Newest Topics" 10 are duplicated in " Recent Activity " What's the point ? Only leads to fewer topic shortcuts.

The photos are a waste of space. Although the odd one is of interest they are all out of context and often the title is useless so I don't know what it is a photo of.
Duplication in the two lists is irritating.
Short list means topics slip off the front page fast at busy times and never get answers.

Agree about the photos too. Apart from the meaningless logos and graphic designs, what purpose do the photos serve ? If you could click on them and be taken to the post that they illustrate that might be useful, but they just seem to lead to the uploader's album, which is not.

I'd also like to see a longer new post section and a simple link to the today page if
I wanted to see follow ups.
