10 minutes that's all? That's what happens with every new interface ... there is a "learning process".

I can't tell whether there's a reply from the index page, and when I do click the first link to get into the area I still can't tell if anyone has made a request because it shows the last 5 newest submissions. I am constantly undertaking requests and making modifications which is time consuming in itself which also means members don't get their requests fast enough. Not only that, I was asked by brad to make a suggestion which I did, more than 2 suggestions which were not aswered back. My time is limted and anyone that is contributing into this area (graphic releases) will find it even harder now to keep up the pace of all the requests.

It's getting late, so if this is sounding rude I apoligise. But being asked to make sugggestions by a staff member only to have your suggestion ignored is rude in itself.

Anyway, I'm stepping away from this thread now in the hope that staff consider the feedback me and what other people have put to the table.

every suggestion goes into consideration ... it doesn't mean it will or will not be done .. there are many things to consider

Don't worry about it, I'm not, I tried and I can only say I gave it 100%. When and if the suggestions passes I'll start contributing again. Untill then, I won't increase any unnecessary workload.

That last statement was more for the members who are still making requests and wondering why I ceased supporting/performing modifications this is something I'm not happy about and I think members deserved more than this.

I agree Shelley. Now the members suffer since precious few others even bother to fulfill requests. :(

You're missing the point... this one is poorly laid out. No question about it

I find the new look awful. Things are hard to find. I used to be able to go the the main forum, see that new posts had been made in the mod area and then view the topics and updates posted.

Now, it's all a clutter and really annoying looking for things and mods.

Put it back to what it was before.

Personally i am also not used to the new layout yet. I will however give it a try for at least a week to see if i will get used to it.

I don't think anyone want to have an unusable layout here. Give it a little time and i am sure that things will be tuned to make it more usable or if it is a complete failure (sure that can happen) more drastic changes will be done.

Input from anybody will be considered when changes are made, but i think it is too early to change it again immediatly.

http://www.peterska2.co.uk/images/smilies/eek5.gif You made me look at the forumhome. I think it's only about the third time I've seen in this year!

Seems fine to me, but then again I can't remember what is was like before. :p

Many won't give it a chance.

Honestly I have to say, that with all these griping and complaining threads all over the place... y'all should have left the layout alone until the other stuff died down. What you did was add fuel to their fire ;)

Well just so you know (brad). I'm getting extremely bored and would like to start contributing again (I'm not going to lie, I like it here). How about the graphics area being giving a forum index (like before) status location?

Members are finding it irratating and unusable. The area was active (in it's old location) it barely active now. That's got to say something? I'm willing (and I'm sure other designers) are willing to give this area the attention it deserves if it's considered to be worth it by the staff.

I'm pretty sure they're discussing/working on something else, but you wouldn't want them to rush into another design which would fail would you? The new design has some good things, some not so good things.. its just a matter of weeding out the not so good.

Its obvious you have a love of graphics shelly, from your work and your energy and I too hope they come up with an area where visual work is given a bit more attention, but I'm ok with it if it means waiting a little extra time for this to happen.

On a side note, I don't think they intentionally made it difficult to access the graphics.
