New Layout of MI
I hate to say this, but this new layout is horrible.

It looks so disorganized, and its much harder to find threads.

macsci, temptingf8 all say thanks to Rakim for this post.

I didnt "love" to say this at all, I just much preferred the old layout. And I made a thread to express my opinion, is that not allowed lol?

No im joking im not trying to be rude. I think the new layout is fine, I dont really notice a difference besides some new buttons and the cool profile info under avatars.

I like the new profile information underneath the username. I can't say for the new forum layout though... I pretty much never "browse" the forum, I just search for new posts.

But for information, what do you find so disorganized about the new layout?

I think I know what he's saying...all the sub threads make it a bit harder to navigate, essp. in the General area. I like everything else, though.

This I agree with, too many subfolders makes it hard to navigate... and keep up with whats new

You have to admit the side thing with the program choice, level, and real name is pretty sweet though.

Didn't Chad already address this issue by giving users the option to view the posts in General Discussion in a consolidated format?

It's in Forums-->General Discusion still, the bottom part of the page has all the posts still unsorted. You can also click "Click here to view all new unread threads across all sub-categories".

Those are just posts that haven't been sorted yet. I'm still working on them but clearly 150 pages isn't going to get sorted super fast XD

I'm noooooooooooot a fan. Too many subforums, not enough activity.

The way General Discussion used to be, we had NO problems keeping track of activity on Page 1 alone. I could understand dividing the forum up if we had pages upon pages going on at once, but there aren't that many threads.

Wow, forum folder mania!

Well I think that all that stuff needs to be condensed JUST a little bit more, a little confusing.
But I love everything else, especially the smilies, theyre adorable
