This is terrible. By far the worst iteration of this forum. Now I have to change the rules of my giveaway. Again.
And as a side note, we really need to do something about all the ridiculous squabbling of late. I’m here for the love. The way things are going, there may not be a forum for too much longer 😢

I know I might not have a voice or a vote yet, but to be completely honest, the previous format was much more elegant in every way, without complications. They have copied the Facebook style, and to be truth, it’s not pleasant. It’s just my humble opinion.
Whoof, this is a mess. User names got tiny and sig files got huge. Really hope this is just a beta for whatever this eventually turns into.

Incomplete planchets wanted, especially Lincoln Cents & type coins.

Could someone explain how this is an improvement over what we had?
What problems with the old way did this fix?

Would like to see more delineation between threads and posts within threads..Everything now seems rather morphed together

For me it's difficult to tell what threads have new comments since my last visit. Also, I'm sure I am just missing the magic button, but how do you mark the entire forum read?
Can we please get some sort of official commentary regarding the change to our beloved forum? Are these system issues or transitional or a temporary change?
I attempted to send this question privately via the Flag feature but that doesn't work either...
Hey y'all – thank you so much for tagging me. I sympathize with and understand all of your concerns, that's why I am taking note of your guys' comments and sending it over to the Vanilla Support to see what we can do. If you guys see any broken links/icons, such as the gear button (which doesn't work for me either!), please DM me or tag me on your comment.
I love your guys' passion to keeping the spirit of the forum alive.

Don't alter it too much.
Many of us- even the silent majority- love it just the way it is and wish it not to be modified.

Really? Per posts in multiple threads, quite a few buttons and features sumply don’t work, and you want us to report them all? Isn’t it the job of the development team to have thoroughly tested the new version? They clearly haven’t.

I do not see a single feature that makes this software upgrade an improvement when using my desk top. Did someone doing the upgrade make a mistake?

I’m sorry folks, I signed us up to be beta testers for a month.
Earlier I posted this link to a description of the new platform. It is hard to see—

Yes! It does have that old Netscape browser feel.
Yuck 🤮
I feel like I need to dial into the forum now
I know I might not have a voice or a vote yet, but to be completely honest, the previous format was much more elegant in every way, without complications. They have copied the Facebook style, and to be truth, it’s not pleasant. It’s just my humble opinion.
For all the youngsters that don't remember the struggles with dial up:

I did not see this coming! I will have to get use to it.
Amen .... lol
I get the default will always be 'dont like it' for a change, but this layout is very spread out so you see like 1/3 of the previous info...
Totally horrible!
Please go back to the way it was....PLEASE!!!

Me no like
Where's the button that says "To go back to the old website, click here" ?
As Charles Barkley would say "this format is terrrble" "knuckle headed terrrble!"
New format,same old*&$#+.
Same here, ridiculous. It was annoying enough at a smaller scale - now it screams at you - over & over & over again each and everytime they post.
PCGS only allotted 25,000 of them, and Cougar used up half of those himself.
I miss (or can not find) the links that used to be on the upper right - PCGS, Coininflation, Collectors Corner ....
Hiding signatures does help a little. I wish I had known about that before, for some of these folks with 1000 characters of signature text...

I can't press these buttons -- they don't do anything?
Yeah, this is a drawback for sure. I often utilize those.
I only visit on my laptop and do not use the app at all. It's different. . . . but better? Not so sure about that.

What app?
change is good ? No stems ? I guess.
Why the complaining? At least you got your STARS back.
I’m not loving it.

Normally, one would expect an upgrade in features, and or a new exciting look....I am not seeing either.
This is not an upgrade. At all
The epitome of "if it aint broke, break it".
Work in progress. A bit painful for the user but an effective and cheap way to get feedback. This area definitely not a priority for the host.
