cant cope with the new BHW site layout

I'm still getting used to it. Switched to the light theme again. This is gonna take some time for sure. Had that old shit so streamlined...
 
Every switch will take time to get used to :)

Oh snap! I was just about to say I would never get used to this, and then I saw how easy it is to multi-quote people. Holy crap is that going to make life better!

Even though I was a beta tester on this I will remain surprised by it's awesomeness for awhile to come! Thanks to the admin for this new evolution for BHW!
 
It is so smooth to browse BHW on mobile now :D still getting accustomed to how to find old threads I saved though, been betting errors and landing on wrong threads
 
Looks pretty good to me, though I can't understand why I have to hover over thread names to see how many pages they have. Kinda annoying.
 
I feel your pain - the left-to-right thumb switch gave me an existential crisis. But then I saw a squirrel outside the window, which was cool. Now, I'm completely recovered.

Haha, yea that sums it up pretty well :-)

Wow, another cool feature I just noticed - when you milti-quote you get the option to insert those quotes and you can edit the order as well by the look of it :-)
 
Give it a while. It will sink in.

Xenforo is more powerful, has a better community and is leaps and bounds ahead of the code that VB ships with.

Additionally, it offers less code clutter, better customisability, better scalability and more security.

So it is an important decision for the team at BHW.

The thanks button etc. are minor fixes that can be re-instated whenever the admins want. Cosmetic issues can always be handled. Just be glad that we're on a more robust backend now.

It took you guys a while, I remember hearing of forum changes like "years" ago.

Speaking of thanks button and all that crap, IMO it would be nice to not even bother with it, less spam look.
 
I really like it so far. Better load times, a little bit more open design is nice on the eyes too. Especially nice when looking at topics.
 
But I am sure the admins will abide to every single one of my suggestions so this will change soon
You're really starting to sound like that stone guy in your avatar. I await your amazing suggestions with great anticipation.

Yeah I have switched to the light theme too. My eyes seem to prefer it

You sire, answered every questions.
 
I can't find lots of old important features, like where is the control panel? That was the first page I visit on BHW daily.

Love how snappy and fast BHW is now. Nice Job!
 
I find it awful and don't like it at all. Reading the homepage is harder, reading thread posts is harder... Everything just doesn't flow as well. I have absolutely no idea why they changed the old layout, it was perfectly fine and did the job great
 
yeah my avatar looks like crap now... gotta make another. Also I know people have their avatars as gifs but I can't get it to accept mine no matter how much I scale them down.. not to important though
 
In a few weeks time, we'll get used to it. I'm sure BHW management choose the platform because it's more secure, and possibly faster. Just like the old days, all cosmetics issues will be handled...that's I'm pretty sure. It's like migrating a WordPress site to a different theme. It takes some time, but it will eventually be more appealing.
 
Just logged in and have to agree, the design looks great, haveto get use to the new button placement n stuff tho
 
There is few things that I really don't like.

- The new font is worse than the previous.
- I don't understand why I should see huge stretched version of my avatar whenever I go.
- The name colors are slightly different, the previous ones were better.
- Lastly the thanks count under the posts, there was something charismatic in the old version, now in the current one, I doubt I will every waste my time clicking on that in order to check who hit the button.

Other than that. all is good!
