MyBroadband news section improvement: Your feedback needed

[rpm]

Not sure that makes sense. Just remove the one link and direct traffic to the forum. Splitting comments seems counter productive to me.

That is what we used to do, but many people complained, saying they want to comment below the article and do not want to join the forum. Other people prefer the forum comments, which is more suited to online discussions rather than just single comments,

It looks much nicer now. More organized, much closer to the old interface yet with something new. Good job listening to the comments rpm! I can live with the way it is now. Would've preferred some more wide-screenness, but it'll do

Thanks rpm. I like the article and the cat, But not the front page, hard to see what I have read already.
Keep up the good work!

So those are Disqus not MyBB user names?

I see minor adjustments, but it's still offering me no reason to scan the front page like I used to.

Correct. All Disqus comments below the articles.

I like the new look!

It's really not that difficult to navigate. I don't see why people are complaining. But I guess you cant please everyone.

New look is great on my large monitor and its nice to have a fresh look.
Unfortunately I usually check MyBB on my laptop and / or iPad ... the large font doesn't suit small screens and it requires a lot more scrolling.

Check out a design like this rpm:

Would need some major coding, but you should aim for that sort of layout imo.

Yeah, I agree ... that looks nice!

Just wondering ... do you all have these big white spaces

(indicated by red arrows) on the home page now?

use Ctrl+mousewheel up/down to zoom in or out will fix it

I'd actually shrunk the screen to try and fit it on my laptop screen.
Hhhhmmmm ... think MyBB should reduce the headline font a bit.

Sorry the new layout is unusable for me.

I agree,I've been reading less articles on mybb since the inception of the new look,too much of a chore to scroll up and down randomly finding articles.

The votes also show the new look is not liked by most,I don't know why rpm and co are persisting with it until now surely you do things that "improve" your site not things that hurt usability just for the sake of looking nicer?

 

[rpm]

Thanks for the feedback.

We are monitoring the performance of the system closely, and will still make changes in future as needed.

 

[falcon786]

will still make changes in future as needed.

Thank goodness,I look forward to it

i agree with that. i have stopped reading news on MyBB.

 

[Refugees]

Yes very nice! It looks great!

It's hard to distinguish between advertisement pictures and article pictures...

The ads are way to big......

definately not feeling comfortable with the change - maybe number of new articles old vs new is not the same anymore (any previously if i logged in on a daily basis it was able to see a complete new set of articles.... this doesnt seem to be the case anymore ( maybe im going crazy )

but yes - comparing screenshots old vs new - size of the AD's is a big jump ( thus usually an add was a banner - now it it taking up the space of an article.... big no no

 

[K3NS31]

Well, now that I've had a coupla weeks to get used to the new layout I have to say - it still SUCKS bigtime.
Read down one column, scroll back up to read down the column next to it. Seriously? WTF? We're not reading Japanese here.
