2 cents... This New Forum/web design is aweful... I get change, but it should be for the better

Awful, needs to go back to previous design; losing members can't be healthy to FS or those dedicated users who provide valuable information

I really don't like the new format what so ever, total down grade. This is my first post in quite some time. Don't really see the point of the labels such as AG, Greenhorn, Admiral etc... The number of posts one makes doesn't indicate the quality of posts or contribution to the forum. Certainly visiting and reading less as a direct result of the new format. Pictures which make reports great are huge or tiny little thumbnails that don't enlarge at least that is my experience so far. Also seems like there are more ads. Disappointing to say the least.

Please do something or get back to the old format.

I finally switched from Internet Explorer to Google Chrome. Just because of this site. That resolved the problem with the pictures being over sized.  Thanks for the suggestion to switch Monty.

It is still crazy the the list of forums has to take up 1/3rd of the viewing space of every post.  I cannot imagine why they thought that was better than a "1 click" drop down type forum menu.  We could be viewing all pictures 30% larger if the administrators got their act together. Very disappointing.

Yes it sucks , rarely come here anymore, when I do just get pissed can't see number of post, (on phone anyway, usually how I look at )
It's just  a waste of time , obviously others feel the same few new Post.

Considering this forum was already losing viewership and being kept on life support by guys like Piner and Cameron you would think they would take the negative feedback seriously and be responsive.  Blair, where are ya?  Last thing I saw from Blair he was announcing this change which would really enhance the experience. Crickets since.... Nothing from the moderators either. I am a chronic lurker on this forum and have been for years.  I used to post under a different name when I lived down there and actually had reports, but now that I'm up north in the rat race, this forum is a chance for me to live vicariously through those of you who are fortunate enough to live down there.  So fix this f*&%$& design, remove the stupid toolbar on the right, reduce the annoying ads, which never entice me to buy the products, fix the picture issue with internet explorer, remove the stupid "greenhorn" designations etc. and maybe the # of views per post will go up and guys like Cameron will get rewarded for putting in their time and energy creating their posts.  Maybe get your money back from whatever hack web design company you used for the redesign as well.

Yeah but with the last site they couldn't place ads between every 5 posts!

And I am NOT a deckhand!

Do like the other threads listed to the right, but overall it's worse.

Advertisers will drop next... If the site can't show the lerker & poster numbers, no Bueno, no Dinero...

I dunno it’s not that bad.  Seems more user friendly on my phone than the old site.
