overall i think the change to the board layout is pretty good
i must admit i'm having a little difficulty with PMs, wondering if i'm missing something but is the only way to reply to a message is to type the board member name in the field and hit the "send" button?
that wasn't necessarily intuitive for me but it seemed to work
wondering what everyone else thinks about the changes and if there's anything we should be aware of?

i started getting the emails when i receive PMs again - anyone know how to turn that off?
not a fan. naturally will get used to it, but there's a reason cars are still on "wheels".
simple is good.
When they first came back up yesterday, I was able to go into the PMs and click the binoculars(?) all the way to the right of the name and send a PM. Late last night that was not available and now the only way I can do it is as you stated.
Right now I'm not liking the changes.

Labeled all the messages from CU to my spam folder until this is completed.
Sorry, not a fan. While it's not necessarily horrible it's not great either.
I'm old school and have always lived by the motto "if it ain't broke don't fix it".
People get used to a format when they've been seeing it for many years, are comfortable with it--why upset the apple cart now?!?!
Hate the colors (and that's even after I changed it from the default settings)--reminds me of a hospital. Perhaps they should rename it "ICU" instead of "CU".
Dont like it. Mainly for the same reason I hate it when ebay changes their page layouts. If it works, leave it alone. Wait until its broke before fixing it

anyone notice the time on the posts? looks like it's 5:52AM as i'm posting this from Texas where it's actually 11:52PM
i suppose that's the London time zone? anyone else having this issue as well?
The best part of this is the fact I can change my avatar anytime I please, no more waiitng for the 15th to come around. Hope that doesn't change.

Here's how you change the time:
1. Click the profile button at the top-right of the screen.
2. Change the time zone in your profile to any other time zone and save.
3. Change the time zone in your profile to the correct time and save.
4. This should fix the problem.

So you would rather lose 20% of your screen than have a tiny drop down box?
You can hide the categories on the right and expand the screen.
Didn't even see that option to hide the categories. I just did that and now I can retrieve a thread just like I used to before the change. THANKS!

+1, I haven't had to manually adjust a URL to get to the correct page yet on the long threads. As soon as I relearn how to search, it will all be good.
Everyone hated the holo-labels, at first, too. People just don't like change. In 2 months, we'll all be happy the platform is modernized and more stable.
I'm not a fan either. Everything looks cluttered. I don't like change but I guess I'll adjust eventually. If it ain't broke, why fix it?

Hopefully IP addresses are tracked with this system to keep alts out. Losing your privilege to participate on these boards for breaking the rules should mean you don't get another shot with an alt.
What has NOT grown on me is that darn updated eBay app! Ughh.
thick skin is needed in todays world.

I didn't think anything was wrong with the old format.
collecting RAW Topps baseball cards 1952 Highs to 1972. looking for collector grade (somewhere between psa 4-7 condition). let me know what you have, I'll take it, I want to finish sets, I must have something you can use for trade.
looking for Topps 71-72 hi's-62-53-54-55-59, I have these sets started

Agree, but this is an online forum to share our love for sports cards and memorabilia. Nobody should be in a position to have thick skin here as a result of personal insults getting slung around.
and of course there's alt. it's the internet. i know of several, as do the rest of us.
but people have been thrown off for some pretty petty things. but it's their site, their right!
as for personal insults, just don't take them personally. again, the internet.
i know of one tattle tale on here as i was told exactly who it was...
men should be able to handle an insult. children tattle tale.
besides. if ya cant laugh at yourself, then you are missing some pretty funny stuff!
go cubbies!!!
was anyone asked to beta test this prior to launching? I was asked about a year or so ago to participate in upgrade on the psacard.com site when they were adding links to the cards that upgraded/filled in your sets. they did an absolutely tremendous job at listening and fixing things almost instantaneously. there were still bugs upon launching and no amount of code could catch everything or omit certain things on every occasion, but it was night and day to the original concept and a complete step forward in my opinion.
just wondering if anyone was asked to beta test this one?
and I don't like how the text all runs together. even if ya purposely space it out. makes it extremely hard to read
here's that thread
Some things are fixed (image/http/https insert) and new ones are broken.
Use the 'hr' button to space things out for now. Quote this to see the how if you have any questions.
............. I Especially like the 'Report this to a Moderator"..........
We knew you would.
George Brett, Roger Clemens and Tommy Brady.
Where the button itself may be abused and the moderators inbox is full with more false alarms than legitimate complaints. A one click EZ button vs the time to write out a paragraph and then send it.
Whats the over/under on how long the "report to moderator" button lasts? Seems too easy to use instantaneously for some who can't help themselves. Before rethinking.

Consider yourself reported ??
Starting the clock...
Um...how do you get paragraphs versus one long blob?
