Oh, I'm disappointed

[Bernadine]

This format is still really bad for me at work. I was hoping once we actually switched over it would be better, but it's terrible. Yuck.

[lilafowler]

I'm still trying to figure this out...

[RBL]

Why is it terrible at work?

[eddy]

I don't love it.

But I felt this way each time the nest did it. I always feel like it looks worse. Then I get used to it. But right now it looks outdated and janky to me.

[poppyseed]

I don't really like it, but I hate change, so there's that.

[Bernadine]

I'm guessing work has some type of blocking set up that doesn't block the whole site, but blocks the formatting? Idk.

[ering1115]

It is awful on both explorer and firefox. Boo!

[EllieArroway]

If you're just seeing a white page with blue links (no styling) then it means your work is blocking the CSS files. If you have the option, you can add 4d5.net and *.4d5.net to your trusted sites.

I don't mind it, but I miss the blue skin. It is too bright now and I don't see an option to change it.

[pantsparty]

Why is everything so big? Is this an old people forum?

[softspot]

I'm on my phone & it's a big change. Is there really only one reply button at the top of the thread? And what is with the damn proboards ad at the bottom that is taking up 1/4 of the page? That's annoying.

Me too.  But I'm a fuddy-duddy, and I hate change.  I imagine I'll get used to it.

I almost had a heart attack, though, when I clicked on ML and it told me I didn't have permission to access it.  I was like, "Welp, I guess Elle's wish for a private board happened, and I didn't make the cut."  Then I refreshed madly, and after a few times, here I am.

Bah.

Yup, this is my issue. I'll try to figure out how to add those. Thanks!

[ering1115]

Bern- if you figure out how to do that can you post it? I am computer stupid and the lack of formatting is driving me batty

Yes, I need to know how to get the blue skin back...this white on white is killing me.

In a thread on CE&P, someone said they will try to add more skins at some point today.

[walterismydog]

I am just testing this.

[joenali]

Mass exodus to The nest!!

[firedancer49]

I thought the blue skin was here in testing. Why not now? It's killing my eyes.

Found the blue one! It's under settings.

[hisno1girl]

I dislike the all white background, but I assume that changes to settings will come soon. I hope?

[Vally]

I also got the "do not have permissions" message.

I love the "participated" button

I was able to update to dark blue skin when I went to my profile. . . .under Settings and select Forum Theme?

[nahoku]

I like seeing your pretty faces and my little ponies and sweet valley high characters and such, but I wish we could still block avatars. It makes for much more discreet GBCNing.

I think they just added it. So much better.

you can change to a dark blue setting when you go to "Edit Profile & Settings" and then click on the "Settings" tab and then mid way down it has "Forum Theme " listed and pull down for "Dark Blue" and then save. Changes the forum look for you.

Does your avatar have a gold tooth on purpose?

Yes.  I just wanted to be true to life.

How do you tag someone in a post?  I want to ask EllieArroway if we can block avatars.

This is on the list to be added. I didn't realize they took that option away.

[CheshireGrin]

It is SO much better with the dark blue. I'm still not crazy about it, but I think I'll get used to it.

[pantsparty]

Some of you people need to change your avatars. Now I feel like I'm talking to robots even MORE.

[Kit]

The new site is blocked for me at work! The old one wasn't. Lame.

Thanks, Ellie!  Also, it is saying I have one new message in my inbox but I don't see any new messages.  Is this a glitch or am I special?
