I miss the "mark all posts as read" button. Or am I not seeing it?

Also, with the avatars on, it's going to be a lot more difficult to read this at work. Just sayin'.

Yeah, I use the mark all posts as read button all the time.

I just had a coworker wander by and ask me what I was looking at that has all those "cartoon heads."

The "Mark all forums read" button is on the lower-ish right hand corner of the main page, about 3/4 of the way down.

I don't have an issue with the new layout, but I don't like the empty avatars.

I also preferred the last look before this one. I like having our usernames on the left-hand side, and if I can't use my silly Very Potter Musical Snape icon for an avatar, why bother with the cartoon heads?

I do like the much smaller font for the post titles, though.

I like it, except for the cartoon heads. But I was fine with the old layout too.

Ahh, I liked the old layout so much better. I don't like the cartoon heads at all, and the black text was much easier to read (though at least there's still black text on the comment page).

What Jasmine said!

Also, I guess this is just my western brain but I can't deal with the names on the right hand side.

Just read through this thread to see why we have these doofy green-turtlenecked avatars, and I can't see anyone requesting changes from the previous iteration(which I guess I largely missed). Did the board glitch somehow? Based on the very productive give and take so far, I can't see a reason for the change.

Regardless, has the Internet Poll been generated yet for official feedback? I liked the avatars and would also have preferred black text on the bluescale background, which it looks like we had until recently. I also prefer the names/titles on the left, but that's lower priority.

Chiming in to say that I much prefer names on the left. And I don't understand the cartoon avatars - are they supposed to be replaced by actual avatars?

And a small thing, but I miss it. The bar(?) currently near the top that says Snarkfest4.0 >Questions and Information> Info about Snarkfest - there used to be a similar bar at the bottom. Now there's a dropdown box, which is more effort. I can't just go back one 'level' it seems? Not sure if that makes sense.

Sorry about that everyone not sure how it happened, but everything should be back to the way it was.

Yes, the font. The black is so much better, imo. This light grey stuff is hurting my eyes.

Yay, thanks guys!

Last I checked, links were also showing up black (as opposed to blue as they were before) and therefore indistinguishable from the rest of the text.

Thanks for the color fix -- yup, links are also black. Not sure what controls they give for link style, but can we make them bold and underlined like at the old site?

Ha, I figured it wasn't an intentional redesign, since no one mentioned it. Thanks for your continued work! I'm just happy to have a space that works again, honestly.

I always liked Forumer's interface and I like having that much history with the forum but if they've become unreliable that's that. Basically I will follow vwlphb wherever she sets up shop.

Thanks for all the efforts.

My only issue with this board is as mentioned the chat. I am not a fan of this one and preferred the other one. There is something odd about it saving all the conversations as mentioned.

And yeah same.

I think we should wait for the mods to analyze the situation with Forumer and seek a permanent solution before we make big decisions. I trust that they'll try and find the best solution for our community. This is fine as a temporary home. We don't have to declare our undying love for it right this minute. A better option may present itself.

Forumer's functionality has been shot to pieces for a long time, which means nearly anything would be better. I think a bigger problem is getting the maximum number of members to where ever it is we do settle.

I agree. I'm loving all the activity - I'll admit, I was a little worried about the group fading away at the other board. But we don't have to decide now, and I trust the mods to make it work.

I think it would be really really bad for membership if we move around to another board after being at this one, because people are already confused and haven't found us here. I never used chat and don't really care about it, but if that's the issue for people here, can't there either be a fix to the chat or some other way of doing it? The board was dying at Forumer, and we've managed to restart everything here, restarting it all again would suck a lot.

I agree with every bit of this. We are just now getting members that lost us when Forumer fell to pieces. (And I would like to point out that it's STILL in pieces! How much more should we take from them?). We have good discussion going on, and people are actually posting again because they can... I'm certain we can work something out in regard to chat and other issues.

I do think that it shouldn't only be up to the mods what we do this time around. We've been a pretty democratic board ever since the "social experiment" fiasco sank us and I don't see why we can't do that now. Not listening to what the members want to do would be kind of wrong, after all the bullshit we've come through as a board.

I'll say the same thing I've been saying. Forumer sucked horribly and nothing was done about it for months. ALL of mods here are doing everything they can to make EVERYONE happy, which I am personally super grateful for. Sure, we're just testing waters, but so far, it seems like things are going well with minor glitches.
