Is there a way to opt out of the new website format?

in Trading Cards & Memorabilia Forum

The new look of these forums makes posts very hard to read due to the following:
-thin gray line separating posts, threads, and sig lines
-new comments button, and Agree, Like, and LOL buttons seem small when compared to the text.
-all white background

Looking forward to (or backward to) the old look of these forums.

    The forum has been crashing a lot in recent weeks. This may be temporary. I hope. This format is ancient and quite rudimentary.

    You know that it's bad when even your webpage from 2001 looked better:

    It is also impossible for everyone to edit posts since this alleged upgrade as it now is for
    me?

    The edit button isn't working right now - I've sent that in.

    Years ago we had an alpha list of members with just the PMs of that person - made it much easier to communicate for me. So e.g. - go to "S" - look up stone193 and see only the PMs you had with me.

    I find it too white right now - not sure who's in charge of this - but they can try different color combinations - that's probably a "toolbox" issue?

    Had to take a new post since I can't edit.

    I went to HELP and got this: There are no knowledge bases

    Also on my laptop - I would like the font to be a little larger but if I up it, I can't see the info that's to the right of the main part.

    Was this even tested? If there’s 1 new post in a thread, it says “1 new”; more than one and it says (for example, if there’s are 3 new posts) “3 new plural”??? Bizarre.

    I agree with the masses - too white, no difference between the post and the sig line, harder to switch between forums now. Not great.

    TBH I don't see an easy way to get back to the homepage from here. A perfect example of "if it aint broke, break it".

    It's literally a Theme that is likely chosen from a drop down menu. If this is the best option, I can only imagine how bad the other options are.

    Compared to Invision for example, the current new look and functionality here is akin to loose feces

    I don't even see that. Try any of the choices on top and see where it leads to. All go to the message boards for me.

    Sorry..... a theme is a back-end choice that the moderator/webmaster can pick. Not something users can choose.

    Good point Jim.

    When we got the last format, I was one of the people that beta tested it and found all kinds of problems; the one I couldn't get them to fix - for those who remember the one before that from the early 2000s - our PMs were keep separate for each member and we could alpha search them - would really like that.

    Pretty bad. My eyes go directly to the signature lines..... I can't unsee those silly things.

    Well, “plural” no longer shows up in the new message count so maybe someone’s listening to our feedback!

    The thing I like the least is the signature section takes up more real estate than the actual post. If we can't go back to the old format, I would love to see the signature section be reduced in size.

    You can hide all signature lines in account settings, it makes viewing 90% better. My headache even went away after making this change :D
