New Look?

New look, and a newer look . . .

I was wondering about the grey folks were talking about here. Everything was a rather sparse white for me. Then I refreshed my browser, and BAM! it's grey. Too weird.

Looks like things might be changing, as I type.

Now, it appears that new, or updated threads, are not bothering to show at all. One must look at the date/time, and then calculate when they last viewed a product forum.

Not a good thing!

Sometimes, I wonder why I even bother to try and help in the Adobe product forums. Adobe, and Jive, seem to want to make it more difficult, with each change. What is the "end game?" Does Adobe want us to all just go away?

Does Adobe want things to focus only on the Community Help, and for the forums to die?

Sorry, but I am becoming much more frustrated with some of these changes.

Good luck to all, but I think that I might just retire from here too.

Bad move Adobe!

I also argee that I dont like the new forum look.

Its funny how on the right there is still Points for Correct and Helpfull answers but nowhere to see what people have.  Not that I even cared about it but thought it was funny.  Maybe im missing something.

Like Bill said I to liked seeing posing info of people.

This version needs work.

I definitely do not like the new look, especially the gray background - the reduced contrast (black on gray) makes it just a little harder to read text.  Also, the separation between posts is not as obvious as it used to be.

Hm-m, seems that we have a "new look"

OK, so I'm not seeing things.  Not sure it's a good idea to stack the reply and other buttons vertically, though.  That just wastes screen space and makes scrolling forums longer.

I noticed SPDY is also being used.  That's a good thing.  But the layout still needs work.

I'll hold judgment on the new look and feel for a time, but I do have a question:

Where's the ''reply to xxxxxxx'' gone?  It's no longer possible to see whose reply button a poster pressed.  That was actually useful.  Now we have to rely on people quoting others to know who they're addressing.

Is it me or has the font gotten a little smaller.  I've been working hard all day on a book, so maybe it's just that my eyes are tired.

And I see that the editor font and the post font are different still...  Just look at a lower case g to see the difference.

Bill,

It seems that we are getting closer to the way the fair forums looked. You may follow one of the links here to see, if you have forgotten:

Don't need all this Gray I just posted a Problem showing this:

The titles should be smaller  so that even the word Browse is beside history.

I think the folks designing the skins were PC only and didn't try them on Macs.

Had they created them on Macs then they would work on both.

If the new look means less overhead... ie-faster forum... I am in favor

As you say... roll with the punches
