Maybe it's just me, but this new Cb version is really weird. It's really hard for me to distinguish pinned threads from normal ones, and I'm not sure what all those colored folders mean. Just the whole different layout and color scheme is hard to adjust to _unsure.gif

I guess it just takes getting used to?

It was a bit premature to say everything but I've noticed that this new forum organization makes me really not want to venture into the resource center anymore (the clincher in my decision to step down), and I definitely preferred the cB3 forum layout.

I don't like how everything in the resource center is so much more compacted than it used to be. While I do find that more forums in the design center (ie. webmasters' corner, developers' cubicle) were necessary, I don't think it was necessary to merge some of the forums and completely remove some of the other ones; there are a shitton of pinned topics now and some strangely merged pinned ones in order to try and reduce the number. :( I'm not sure I like that showcases are all lumped together now. Oh, and where did blogger scripts go?

I don't think I like that layout input/feedback on the forums is now gone and no longer adds to post count because I know there are a few members (blaqheartedstar, IVIike, and themarkster, in particular; I think Lanochka, too, probably a few others) that critique layouts constructively and those posts were definitely quality.

I find it strange that only the resource center was revamped over so little discussion while the community center wasn't after a lot of discussion. It makes the site unbalanced, especially when you compare people staff with 24 forums to mod (plus backstage) to design staff (7 forums and backstage).

I don't like how difficult it is to get to the member stats page now (what used to be the member profile page). I constantly click my username at the top right and get to my personal subdomain profile, and I have to hunt around for one of my posts in order to look at my stats. Could a link to "my stats" be added in the top right red link box? While I do somewhat like the personal profile pages, I don't think I like that cB is becoming more myspace/facebook-esque and more of a networking site than a forum.

I don't like the change back to Verdana as the default font for the forums; I think we (members in general) preferred the Arial. I also think that the Verdana font is what's making the entire forum index look bulky compared to cB3. I don't like the serif font in reply box (the box I'm typing into right now).

I'm not sure if I like the faded topic icons because I almost can't see them because they blend into the background color and because the not-faded ones confuse me and look like the old faded ones, but I'm glad that they've replaced the ugly colored folders. I don't like that some of the default buttons haven't yet been replaced, but that could be another premature complaint/comment.

I don't like how clicking the cB logo image at top no longer takes me back to the forum index but rather the createBlog homepage. I also don't like how there's no longer an address thing at the bottom of the page (at the top of the page, there's Forums / Community Center / The Lounge..). With cB3, there was a navigation addy thingy at the bottom of the page as well, and I got REALLY used to just clicking "Forums" to get back to the forum index. Now, I kind of sit here confused before realizing, OH I need to find a [Up] link.

And I don't like how online status appears on my profile when I've chosen to log in as invisible. :( I'm also sad that the Member's Username History has been taken away.

I also don't like that I can't add James (!!!!!!!!!!) to my friends list, as he is my best cB friend but that's completely not any of your doing so.. um nevermind on that and JAMES CHANGE YOUR USERNAME SO THAT YOUR PROFILE PAGE IS VALID, butthole. :(

There are things I do like, so excuse the super bitchy post, I'll eventually get around to listing what I do like.

Edit- I crossed out what I got used to.

Definitely that :[
And when I'm in a topic, everything seems.. squished together?
