In the end it really doesn't matter what the users of the web site like, the people who run it have made their decision based on their own preferences and we just have to accept it. Why they can't see that the new format is more difficult to use and far less aggractive is difficult to understand.

Is it just me....or has TER format changed completely ?
Is there a way to back to the old format......I'm an old dog and it's hard to teach us new tricks ?

I was just very comfortable with the old way of doing things .

about the new format.

It simultaneously keeps old, irrelevant topics on the first page while making it harder to scan the newer, more relevant ones.

Also, one has to click a few more times than before to read any thread's responses and reply in turn.

Like any new thing, I'm open to giving it a try, but I doubt I will ever like this new format.

EDIT: There is one positive. You can actually edit posts via the "edit" button now.

I think were stuck with this. I kinda like the old board better myself. Have to click here to see the subject and replies. A little clunkie.

I don't like this format. It is too hard to follow easily.

wow new look, get to re-learn it all over I guess

tip. I will gladly join your revolution and insist on the old version.

I pride myself on being an early adopter of new methods of doing things. However, I strongly believe that revisions should not be done simply for the sake of change.

Having seen and used both formats for the past 24 hours, I can say that I definitely prefer the old format over the new.

Allow VIP members access to the old format. Make basic members use the new format.

TER will be raking in new VIP members by the busload.

Of course, I won't be one of them, as I have my principles to abide by.

I just wish they added a line between ladies in the review section or different color background between reviews (similar to Discussion Board).

If it ain't broke....don't fix it.

I'm sure it's me...but I saw the link to the classic version the first time I logged on this AM...but don't now. I'm guessing clicking the TER link takes you to the home page ?

As in the Subjecy Line !

the old format of the Atlanta message board:

http://classic.theeroticreview.com/discussion_boards/messageList.asp?boardID=18&x=8&y=5

Can't figure it out.  Looks like you have to click on every post - that can't be right.

Anyone figure this out?

It's taking some getting used to.

Re: I Hate the new (Here's a way to get the old)

This format sucks for me.
Looks like the IT geeks had to justify their pay.

Terrible

I cant find thta home button or I would be back with the old format.. This is Really bad We need a revolution without a doubt! hard to read.. bad colors.. too many clicks .. Just cheesy looking and I wish they would allow whomever doesnt like the new let us keep the old PLEASE!!!!

Pretty Please with cream and sugar dont make us use this new one

NO-tyvm,P.T.

That Home button I cant find it boo hoo I hate this new format and I want the old for as long as I can have it which I hope they change their minds and let us have it forever!!!!!

Please post the link for the old.

tyvm,P.T.

and they go ahead and force it on us anyway.  Why? My guess is  they now have to justify the expense of creating the new format, so screw the loyal customers who pay the bills.  I for one will not be re-up to VIP anytime soon.

I am in agreement.  This is difficult to use and to follow threads.  Like Brad45 said, "If it's not busted don't fix it."

I am with the majority, I hate it!

"It simultaneously keeps old, irrelevant topics on the first page while making it harder to scan the newer, more relevant ones."

I'm not sure if I like this or not. I sometimes go on one of my favorite musicians message board, and theirs is similiar to this. You can go back to a thread that's in the archives 2 years back, and if you post a new reply in it, the thread will go to the very top of the first page. But I don't think I like it on this board, it'll take some getting used to.

NOW I HATE THIS NEW FORMAT !!!

Guess when the vip status expires, maybe i will too (well, from TER).

1) I don't need all these colors in different format.
2) I'd like less space between posting lines and a little larger text..and CHANGE THE FONT!
3) I don't like the little picture icons--I don't need them.
4) WTF is up with all that white space on the right side of the screen?  It causes the entire page to appear left-centered, throwing off the page.  Put the twitter, etc stuff on the LEFT side of the screen.
5) You'd think that when the home page comes up, being in a country where reading is done from left to right, you'd want the "Accept" to be your left button, not right button.
6)  The "back to forum" button really should be more to the left, not to the right.  
7)  Not enjoying all the extra mouse clicks.

That's a good starting list regarding formatting that I don't like.

Re: I Hate the new (Here's a way to get the old)
