Looks slick, good job Mods.

Questions:

- You used to be able to click next to the topic and it would take you to newest post in the thread, is that still possible?

- Also, is there anyway to get the navigation for the boards back at the top of the page? (Football, Recruiting, Basketball, etc.).

I really like the player photos at the top.

Something is clearly wrong because the "new layout" looks terrible for me. Everything is tiny font, centered, and there are quotation marks everywhere. It makes my head hurt.

What browser are you using?

Everything is a work in progress right now, we have been getting hit hard by spam accounts lately so I wanted to upgrade the board software and change the look and feel a bit. Will try to get the stuff we had before back up when I can.

Nooooooooo!

Simply Awful and it hurts my eyes!

Why is every board I use so quick to drop the dime on their tried and true formats?

:cry:

I think it'll work fine, but I humbly make this one request: need tabs at the top of the page for the separate boards. Football, Recruiting, Basketball etc. Much more user friendly than having to click on Board Index each time

This re-design is the work of the great SmooPower, and done for several reasons (some of which are far more technical than most mere mortals can understand). If you have questions or suggestions, feel free to send them to SmooPower, Webmaster or me, and we'll discuss. It's always a work in progress, but I agree with the majority of you here: new look is nice, and pretty soon we won't even realize it has changed.

Oh, just saw this in regards to the tabs at the top of the page. There is a quick "jump to" button at the bottom of the page that works in the same way as the tabs.

Something is not functioning well on my browser. I have Internet Exploder and the new layout is difficult to follow. I can['t find any of the old commands regarding posting replies and font/color edits. The threads are centered and the graphics are a bit harsh to the eye. The functionality of the layout seems much more limited and difficult to navigate.

The layout appears much better on my iphone.

I hope the bugs get worked out soon as this is somewhat distasteful for now.
