So, is this change you can believe in?

Here's a few updates for those who are freaking out...

- The colors are most likely temporary, they should be going back to the old color palette soon.

- Quick Reply will eventually be back, don't know how long.

- Quoting will be fixed.

Guys, everyone needs to relax a bit. The update they did was a bare minimum for the time being. They will be adjusting the colors, adding the quick reply feature, etc....in the near future. I personally don't think it is that much different and in the end, will probably be better.

I can handle this change, but I just wish the blue contrast was better, the colours look the same, almost.

Can't see where the quotes are, everything runs together.

I understand it will take time to get used too. And it will be much better. But I really don't like the timing of this. Couldn't they have found a time between the draft and the end of the finals. Or was that out of the question.

I won't be all negative though, I think the Jump to feature is really cool. Now you can jump to any board. Much easier.

I thought the ESPN format was bad... but this is hands down THE WORST format of ANY message board... So many broken/missing features and when you have to submit the SAME post about three times, you have a BIG problem...this format is as buggy as hell...

I hate this site now. Change it back for the love of god.

This is the worst decision in realgm history! The blue on blue is impossible to read and it's extremely lazy. Blue on blue is something you see on generic forums that a site quickly put together and pays no attention to. I can't stand this!

Read my post and canman's post on the last page. They're still working on it. They're planning on changing the colors back to how they were.

I thought the old board was perfect. Not pleased

Agree, this sucks. I liked the old forum layout much better...

I agree with the general consent. New look blows a big one. You can't distinguish which threads you've posted in easily. The general, sleeker look is aiight, but they must have hired the cheapest web designer they can find for this. Just horrible...

Did they even have a usability testing?

Apparently they haven't fixed double posting yet :lol:

Is it just me, or has the forum become a lot less active since the changeover to the new format?
