I understand the reason for the change, so you can get another 160 x 600 banner ad above the fold, but it just doesn't feel and look right. Since you are looking to monetize by serving display why don't you keep the sites current look and feel but have a 728 x 90ish "anchor ad" anchored to the bottom of the screen as the user scrolls up or down? You could have it where they could press an x to close it so it wouldn't be too intrusive and it would look SO MUCH BETTER and the x to close it would drive clicks since people are clumsy.

Thought for sure it would be implemented by now. Just about every other forum I post on has this feature.
there is a performance cost to track that stuff...not sure it is worth the hit on this board.

As in it slows down the forum, or in that it costs money to implement? We can all donate a hamster or two if slow down is the issue. Or all spring for the premium TD membership if cost is the issue.

I'm starting to get used to the forums listed at the top.

I still think the bar at the right is kind of disorienting.

Beta on mobile is neat. However, it seems to load slow sometimes.

Make the hover drop down the rest/all of the boards.

ETA. Trending is a nice addition.

I like the "my forums tab. I also think tabs on top are a nice tough. Can't stand that purple border on the right for some reason though. Why don't you cut that in half and put it on both sides?

This is a huge thread and someone may have already said this, BUT I do not like the off centered main section with the ads only on the right side. It feels of balance and makes it hard (at least for me) to focus on what I am looking at.

Just my 2 cents.

isn't it more centered now? inside a thread, the main content you read is now in the middle.

I realize it takes some getting used to, but I have been using this for three weeks now and now I can't stand the old way.

I his critique is similar to mine. The purple border throws things off

Eta I don't see much of a solution though. There is nowhere else to put ads

I am sure this has been asked a thousand times but will there ever be an option to private message other users.

I suppose if it hasn't been added by now there is a reason for it and probably for the best

The "Trending Topics" board is my favorite new feature. However, I cannot seem to start new topics on this forum or post in any political talk threads. Please correct at your earliest opportunity. Thanks in advance. Tigerdroppings really is the best website on the internet.

It may just take some getting use to. It is more centered if you recognize the poster info block as not part of the thread / frame. But my mind wants to identify that as part of the frame so it is off center by about 1/5 of the screen.

I'm sure I will get use to it and I mainly use mobile so I love the fact that I can customize my forums and won't accidentally click the soccer board anymore!
