In the previous version, we had an option in our profiles so that we didn't have to see the "avatars" of other people. If possible, it would be good to have this option again. (I looked for it, but couldn't find it.) I find all those avatars very distracting. Many people have avatars of startling banality. Yes, I agree completely. Also spent time looking for the no-avatars setting, to no avail.

Story of my life... I agree. Kinda weird look to it. I'm sure I'll eventually get used to it, but the old style seemed more clean and sharp. And things are bigger now, which isn't necessarily good. Before, I could see all the topics on a page on one screen. Now I have to scroll. Small thing, but it is an inconvenience. Maybe I'll play around with the settings later to see if I can change the view.

Avatars are smaller now. Good. I'd still like to see the default avatars axed. Many people have avatars of startling banality. Lawl. What does THAT mean, exactly?

Can we change it back to the classic ourselves? I am having a hard time reading and responding.

Yet another error message. I was editing one of my posts (correcting a typo) and when I clicked "Save Change" I got: "Oops, there was an error! Invalid security log type in Forum::insert_security_log()."
But my change took. Is this an alpha test? I don't usually see this many errors in a beta test.

Me also...I had to hit the back button and submit several times before it stuck.

It will take some time getting used to this change. Don't like it at all. At least we don't have another one of Odin's notorious "side menu". Minimizing the avatars is a good suggestion. And why am I assigned an avatar that looks like the kid at the end of 2001: A Space Odyssey?

I've been getting some of those cheeky/sarcastic error screens. A reload usually takes care of them. Annoying, but not 'gamebreaking' so to speak.

Whatever happened to privacey? How did Proboards get a picture of me and decide to use it as a default avatar? I see a lawsuit.
Also, there's noplace on the top of the page telling you if you have any new messages. I want that back. I will drop my lawsuit if I get that back.

In this new version, is there a way to track down certain posters and kick the living s*** out of them?
(Also, how come me and VBCOACH look so much alike?)

Weird! When I was initially reading these posts (before I logged in), I noticed, as others have said, that the avatars were smaller than they were last night--which is a good thing! Then I logged in and now the avatars are larger again.
One more suggestion for the powers that be: a "back to top of page" option like there was before. Also, adding the number of thread pages with arrows to navigate back and forward through the thread the bottom as well as at the top of the page.
And I agree the default avatar is kind of creepy!

Maybe I'll play around with the settings later to see if I can change the view. You probably already know this. Most computers allow you to change the size of the font on a webpage. On my computer I can press control and the minus sign to make the font as small as I want it. This works fine for the title page. It also works for the posts except there is too much empty space at the bottom of some comments. Otherwise I see this revision as an overall improvement.

Just like before, that's something you can toggle. One more suggestion for the powers that be: a "back to top of page" option like there was before. Also, adding the number of thread pages with arrows to navigate back and forward through the thread the bottom as well as at the top of the page. Vehemently disagree. Navigating between/among pages was a serious pain in the ass the old way. The way the board is now is a million times better in that regard.
