Phauxx Lightning Posted October 14, 2011 Posted October 14, 2011 I don't mind the changes that much, they're just going too take a while to get used too.
Freddy Mallins Posted October 14, 2011 Posted October 14, 2011 I like the Twitter-esque profile status updates. Also it just feels nicer, with all these little transitions and such. Still having a slightly difficult time finding everything, though.
CHTrilogy Posted October 14, 2011 Posted October 14, 2011 Oh I got used to it very quickly! The only irk I have is that there's no Century Gothic in the font menu... still... ~ CHTrilogy
Demeb Posted October 14, 2011 Posted October 14, 2011 I'm liking the new reply box, and I'm sort of fond of the overall sleeker look. However, I do miss the top banner. Also, I only now realized that I don't have my old avatar photo on my new computer, so the fact that I'm stuck without it for a while is probably going to be my biggest complaint about the new forums. -Demeb A server busy message is just BZP's way of reminding you to do your homework.

Taipu1 Posted October 14, 2011 Posted October 14, 2011 I've also noticed that The 'Keep me signed in' tick box isn't working as effectively as I remember it doing back in the day. However I do like the new reply box. back with the old BB code I wouldn't bother making my text green everytime, too much to think about in a post. Now though I might consider it. - Taipu1.HighFly MatoranShowdownBZPRPG ProfilesHave you seen my Blog? I understand if you haven't
Rarity Posted October 14, 2011 Posted October 14, 2011 I like that it now has a mobile version. But the version is lacking. :/ >Not reading the first greentext story on BZP >2013 Be a cool kid and vote for mighty morphin'
The CryoMancer Posted October 14, 2011 Posted October 14, 2011 Come on guys, that came out like, two years ago, yes, most of the main cast died, but Ghos-Oh, you meant the new forums. Well, personally, I like it. I know some people don't, but it just seems so, clean and neat.

Kaleidoscope Tekulo Posted October 14, 2011 Posted October 14, 2011 (edited) It could take some getting used to, but generally I like it. ^^ And yes, it is good to be back! =D (Giant text is flying everywhere! D= This is indeed going to take some getting used to. XD) I don't like that I can't put up my old avatar for whatever reason. =/Also, it seems that the edit button can freak out when you're posting an epic, and all of the formatting will just decide to fail on you (it all blobbed together into one giant paragraph. XD) Meh, it'll be fine. Edited October 14, 2011 by Tekulo: Toa of Wind Executive Vice President of Tomato Throwing
~ShadowBolt~ Posted October 14, 2011 Posted October 14, 2011 The new forums feel efficient and they don't have the character of the old BZP forums yet, but once they get graphics in the background and mess around with the coding, things should be looking good. Thanks to Argetlam for the Banner
V-N Posted October 14, 2011 Posted October 14, 2011 I enjoyed the general look of the old one. But I can't say this is bad. Certainly fun looking around. "What we see depends mainly on what we look for" -John Lubbock
Enzee Posted October 14, 2011 Posted October 14, 2011 I have no complaints. I like the personal message system, I like the my content notification thingy. Seriously that thing is awesome.Notifications probably won't be very useful to me, as I don't do much of the things that it will notify me of, but that is certainly not BZPowers fault. Starting a new comic series soon.
BULiK Posted October 14, 2011 Posted October 14, 2011 Ah, it's good to be back. Anyway, what are some of the changes that you like or dislike to the new forum? I for one, am extremely saddened to see that the century gothic font is missing, and I do not intend to sleep until I have righted this cruel injustice. Also, it's sad not to see Hapori Tohu at the top. But I must say that blogs are much better, and I love the PM system.

MantaxApprentice Posted October 14, 2011 Posted October 14, 2011 I'm loving the new interface. The addition of a mobile website is probably my favorite new feature. Help me revise the BZPower Ultimate Price Guide:http://www.bzpower.c...p?showtopic=951PM me if you want to help!
Mata-Nui Nuva Posted October 14, 2011 Posted October 14, 2011 Wow. This is much different than the BZPower I remember. I don't feel too warm to the new forum layout, but that is probably the nostalgia speaking. It looks a lot more squeaky-clean and slick, to be sure, but there are a ton of memories back on the old site. The fact that BBCode seems to be automatically interpreted is definitely a plus, though.
vataki Posted October 14, 2011 Posted October 14, 2011 I like the status updates and the new mobile site. (Awesome for my iPod.) Not much to dislike, so far. It's actually a major improvement (IMO) from the older site. It may take awhile for some to get used to, but it's pretty awesome to me, either way. naw man
GeluNumber1 Posted October 15, 2011 Posted October 15, 2011 It's kind of unsetteling. And what happened to my avatar? Why are orange and black such a good color Combination ? Purple is pretty, and so is blue. Pink hurts your eyes, green is quite mellowing, black is very threatning, red is cool, orange is SO awesome, yellow's hard to read... But you can't see white at all! Oh, wait. I forgot brown. Here's my thoughts: If a person tells the truth and says, " I always lie," Is he lying? Or is he telling the truth? And what has a mouth, but no head, and a body, but no torso? Do caterpillars like to tend to supporting colum of stone's every need? Or is that name misleading by nature? Speaking of nature, why are the children of animals called offspring? don't many young beasts come alive in spring, and thus, should be called onspring? Heeeeeeyy..... I got the first post on a page for the first time. Who knows; it may happen again. What the... It did happen again... and again... YEAH! I'M ENCOUNTERING PROTODERMIS!
toa crashnio toa of air Posted October 15, 2011 Posted October 15, 2011 I like the changes. but many of the old topics(my comics,space police rpg,etc)are now in the archives. toa's new unnamed comics. coming well i dont know so top asking.>
Daiker Posted October 15, 2011 Posted October 15, 2011 I must say, I'm disappointed with my inability to use BBCode on my text :/ Other than that, I just want a header

~Xemnas~ Posted October 15, 2011 Posted October 15, 2011 The change is okay... I really like the fact that posting is a lot easier than before, and there are more smilies, too. The fact that the avatar is just a smaller personal photo is fine with me, but some people might not like it. The only thing I don't like is that all of the old topics will have to be reposted, which will probably take a while to do. But overall, the change is pretty good for six months of no forums.

Zaxvo Posted October 15, 2011 Posted October 15, 2011 I have mixed feelings about it. I love the new features; how replies appear, posts that accumulate while you're typing your own appear as well, other such related features, these are nifty. However, I'm very disappointed with the overall aesthetic; maybe it's just the lack of skin, but the forum seems really dry and impersonal with the color scheme, and the sections themselves seem almost haphazardly put together. Navigating is also a lot more difficult, both in the forum and the blogs, so I'm not liking that much at all. Overall, with six months, I feel like we could have gotten way more out of it, but there's always hope that things will evolve and improve over (even more =P) time.This. I don't think navigation is an issue, but the aesthetic certainly feels impersonal and bland. I don't mind though...give it a few weeks and I'll probably be loving it. Overall, I like the features but not the design [yet ]. . {Z}
re:Twilite Posted October 15, 2011 Posted October 15, 2011 I definitely love the new status thing. It's like we have our own Twitter. And the new layout is fresh. Quite a nice, modern step for BZPower in the right direction. It's all because the internet.
Leg O'Brick Posted October 15, 2011 Posted October 15, 2011 (edited) YEA! Finally back! And just when I was finally out of withdrawl! Do us a favor, NEVER TAKE THE FORUMS OFFLINE AGAIN! *Content removed. That was unnecessary, even if it was a joke and not directed at any particular person.

Taipu1 Posted October 15, 2011 Posted October 15, 2011 Another change I'm finding it difficult to adapt to is the site navigation. I find myself scrolling down to the bottom left, to get the drop down of the various forums, but all that's there are the BZP rules and guidelines... - Taipu1.HighFly MatoranShowdownBZPRPG ProfilesHave you seen my Blog?

Mr. Fluffy Posted October 15, 2011 Posted October 15, 2011 I like the sleeker, more streamlined interface. Although I also miss the personality that the old forums had (such as the Hapori Tohu head). But this can be amended in time. "By me... Count Bleck! The chosen executor of the Dark Prognosticus... is Count Bleck! The fine fellow prophesied to come to this dimension... is also Count Bleck!"
Lewa0111 Nuva Posted October 15, 2011 Posted October 15, 2011 (edited) Most everything feels the same to me so far, and I love the ability to switch back to the old BBcode style. Call me crazy, but I prefer that to the new style of posting. I love the profile changes though, SO much easier to view and update, and the notification system seems like it will be amazing, no more refreshing topics constantly when bored and waiting for replies! :PI think they did a great job with the update. Only complaint I have is the color scheme, there should be an option to return to Classic Tohu. (Or, possibly, VZP?)Oh, and new emoticons are welcome.

Wokat Posted October 15, 2011 Posted October 15, 2011 (edited) Haven't looked into the forum that much, since it's been a year or so since I've logged in, lol... but I will say it looks very nice. Now, I have to ask, am I able to see my old topics still when I'm on here? Or do I have to go to the archive? (on my profile, not on here) no, I can't. Edited October 16, 2011 by Roger the Dog
-Blank- Posted October 16, 2011 Posted October 16, 2011 I don't like the new layout at all. The other one looked simpler, I like the banner picture, I liked how it showed your join date and such on the side of your post below your avatar and I like the old colours better.
You just lost the game Posted October 16, 2011 Posted October 16, 2011 I very much like that the boards are back online. I also like this quick reply box.I don't exactly like the look of the site, it just doesn't seem BZPowery. lolI will get used to it eventually, but for now it's alien to me.
~Allegretto~ Posted October 16, 2011 Posted October 16, 2011 Most everything feels the same to me so far, and I love the ability to switch back to the old BBcode style.You can do that?*looks* Well, you learn something new every day. This fixes my image embedding nightmare, though.
Derpenstein Posted October 16, 2011 Posted October 16, 2011 From what I've seen, the older one was alot more customized with its skins. This one seems like a good step ahead, but it's missing that nostalgic feeling. Signature Guidelines: Avatar and signature total file size may not exceed 100 KB!
Jeff the Wilson Posted October 16, 2011 Posted October 16, 2011 It's pretty cool to see the forums back on after so long, I was stunned to see the way it looked after using the old format for awhile. Find Waldo?? PM me. Waldo Counter: 18

zsdiogo Posted October 17, 2011 Posted October 17, 2011 (edited) I personally like the changes and I can't even think of a way of criticizing the new forum. The only thing that bugs me is Nostalgia, due to the old look Edited October 17, 2011 by zsdiogo Looks like it's time to stop staring and start contributing.
