The avatars are bigger, which means the text boxes are bigger, even if there is not that much text in there.
I can't get the "new" button to work, but that could just be because the whole thing is nestslow.
Smock, want to link to this on the Mod board so that Ellie can make note of any changes that are possible?
Broc, I think that Ellie said that any skin is possible, but someone has to design it. She doesn't have those skills and I certainly don't, but hopefully someone will step up.
Muddled, there is already a page on the mod board with suggested changes, including eliminating blank space, coming up with new skins, and moving the crumb thing (which might have already happened).
I think the laggy new button is probably a "first day on the new forum" thing and should resolve itself.
I am wondering if we can make our avatars smaller on our own just to deal with the space issues?

Yeah, I'll totally design a skin for this bitch... I'm just not sure where to start (eg, do I need to code from scratch or is there a template, where do I submit it, etc).

Also, I changed my skin to dark blue, didn't like it and changed it back to blue but it's still stuck on dark blue. Logging out and back in didn't help.
I don't like the "themes". I liked the blue background w/ white posts. But it's now either all white or all blue. Don't like either, and the purple/grey doesn't work for me either.
Its not your computer. It sucks!!! It is slow as shit to do anything, just like the nest was. Same issues here...to long ofr pages to load, takes forever to post, going board to board takes forever, posts are disappearing,,,,,i fucking hate it.
I'm late to the party since I wasn't at work yesterday, but I like it so far.
The basic blue header bars with white background and the basic screen formatting (i.e. message boards circa 2002) look exactly like the programs we use at work. So this helps with my stealth.

It seems faster today. So that helps. I haven't played with the skins, so I have no opinion on those. The speed was my biggest complaint yesterday though.
It's a lot slower for me today. There's a significant delay between when the page appears and when I can do anything. Also, if I quote somebody there's a significant delay in seeing my text appear onscreen.
I finally had to hide siggys. The bigger size made all the gifs very noticeable, and I need to be stealth at work. I'm also hoping it helps with my speed issues.
My only real complaint (other than the delays) is the Quick Reply box. Text just keeps going in one long string instead of being wrapped. It's annoying.

I noticed that about the quick reply box too, but I figured it is a minor annoyance and I feel like I do a lot of complaining here so I decided to leave that one alone.

The spoiler tags are my favorite! Now we don't have to create separate threads for things, we can use the spoiler tag (and maybe still warn people) but the spoiler stuff will be hidden unless it's quoted or someone clicks on the tage.
