vb.org is not going right

[SaN-DeeP]

After looking at poll results I would comment old style should also be available as an option for users who are not yet addicated to new styles

[da420]

lol it's already been mentioned that the old styles have been deleted and they are not coming back... so your requests on that particular subject are falling on deaf ears... :P

Apparently there are more people happy than unhappy

Apparently you are not taking into the account that some of the people who are getting out of their way to praise the changes to the best of their abilities may actually be no more than ass-kissers. Sorry, but that's the sad truth, for certains parts of the new site are just entirely wrong and one in one's right mind can't honestly think otherwise.

Apparently you are not taking into the account that some of the people who are getting out of their way to critisize the changes to the best of their abilities may actually be no more than taking every opportunity to protest against something. Sorry, but that's the sad truth,

True that, but in my not so humble opinion, only constructive feedback should be taken into the account - because polls and blank statements like "omg, the new layout is rocks" or "omg, the new layout sucks" do not really mean anything. But unfortunately, you guys are not even asking for constructive feedback. And when posts with constructive feedback appear, you guys seem to just ignore those. Can I ask why?

[Marco van Herwaarden]

You can find many posts where staff is asking for constructive feedback. All constructive feedback is considered, and might make it into the vB.org whenever time and our planning permits it.

Just because every suggestion is not instantly (or ever) implemeted does not mean it's being ignored, all are read, some are done, some are noted for later, some will simply not be done.

Jelsoft do not implement every suggestion for vbulletin, but I don't see you posting over there about being ignored.

Sadly, some people just like to criticise for the sake of it, they are the posts most likely to be ignored.

I disagree. I have a lot of respect for you and your coding skills, so I realise you feel strongly on this issue, and I therefore respect your stance.

However, as an experienced forum admin but someone who is not an expert coder like yourself, to me I find the new style cosmetically very smart and pleasing. That doesn't mean it's wrong for you to dislike it, but it doesn't make me an ass-kisser.

Obviously something new isn't going to please everyone - that's impossible, but I ask that you reconsider branding those of us who like it as "ass-kissers". I have no reason to ass-kiss, I am just a user of the site, and I quite like what they've done to update it.

Good to know. Most of the suggestions that I am going to post in another thread are simple to implement, so hopefully you guys are going to draw from there.

Jelsoft do not implement every suggestion for vbulletin, but I don't see you posting over there about being ignored.

That is because, in my opinion, vBulletin, ever since the 3.5 release, has everything it needs as a bulletin board engine. I would not be bothered if a new version was never released.

That doesn't mean it's wrong for you to dislike it, but it doesn't make me an ass-kisser.

Correct, but please note the keyword "may". It means that some of the people who posted appraisals might be ass-kissers, while some are not, and that the statement should not be taken personally except by those who feel they belong to the worse half.

Actually there have been a lot of the same repeat complaints about the new style, but the only reply has been, to "deal with it".

So far we have seen people complain about the navigation and search changes. Seem like reasonable areas of interest to complain about. Not like people are complaining about colors, more so EASE OF USE.

oh, I guess that wasn't constructive, whats a guy to do

Heres my biggest complaint, no other forum works like this, but you insist on forcing us to click the forums tab every time we want to go back to the top most level of the forum. FORUMHOME

However, is you are posting a new thread it shows the full forum bit trail. Now whats that about?
