As I have said elsewhere on the site, this type of comment provides NO HELP AT ALL!!! The change to Xoops2 was made mainly because of security reasons. With it comes many layout changes. Yes, some of you may not like it, and it will take some getting used to. Rather than simply bitching about it, why don't you provide some constructive criticism point-by-point, backed up with reasoning for each one. We're more inclined to listen to something like that than arbitrary whining. Like Wayne, I am tired of it!! :evil:
Very well. I was rather surprised by the layout change, and I'm sure I'll be able to navigate my way around the site in good time again. The one thing which immediately struck me as 'awkward' is that there is very little visual separation between posts in the forum. To the eye, it is now one long text, with little distinction between each separate one. There's only two indicators (avatar info and reply button), and they are not in the same 'vertical column' as the text. Inside the 'column' there's just a bit of bold text. But since everyone can insert bold text... You get the idea.
As it stands now, the old layout was simply easier on the eyes. I'm staying away on purpose from hollow phrases like 'I want the old site back!' or 'The new look is crap!'---I'm sure the site is still undergoing massive editing and tweaking. But you wanted constructive criticism, so here are my two cents. Now excuse me while I have a look about what new features I have at my disposal ;-).
