what's going on now?!!

EEK!

If I may be so bold as to speak for many here...

The little pointy talk-bubble arrow thing extended from the left side of the message body is EXACTLY the sort of visual clutter that is...

1) Unneededit doesn't add ANY help, visually or functionally, and,
2) Detested by those of us who love the spartan qualities of the WebX forums.

Same with the frames around and separations between replies.
Same with the "gray page background image. Superfluous, distracting, adds file weight to page loads.

Before I go looking, John...does the forum app you're working with have a demo?

I'd love to have a play just to see what options are available.

Let me try that again. Trying to attach a screen shot of where things are at (subject to change).

Attached is a screen shot of where things are at. Subject to change. But should give an idea of the look.

John

Someone want to send him over here?

Good idea on the screen shot. I should be able to do that.

I'd noticed there didn't seem to be any complaints in other Adobe forums I use, so I was thinking the problems only affect very few. But maybe most people just growl a bit to themselves and get on with their business.

But ...

There are too many threads for some people to keep up with. This information has already been provided by John C.

Examples of other forums using the software and a promise to see the proposed adaptation for the Adobe forums before the switch-over in April.

John,

Maybe a post of what the look might be would either stop a lot of the chatter, or get you early feedback from folks before another fiasco like the last one. Folks are running scared due to the change history and are just projecting what they think might be coming, particularly based on some of the comments going around. Giving a preview of the look (or look options) might resolve some of the issues. There is a lot to be said of Fear of the Unknown. In this case we know it is coming, the fear is in not knowing what.

That's the reason I made the joking comment its like the Dreamweaver set 1 and 100,000 user would walk into the area where this redesign was created with some Billy Clubs ...... :-)

> Both are moving to a completely new system.

I hope it is a good one because the MM forums really stink.

Where do you come up with this stuff? The Labs forums are on the FuseTalk system (always have been) and look the same as any other FuseTalk forum (Dreamweaver, Flex, etc.). Those are going away along with the forums we're on now. Both are moving to a completely new system.
