Ego Eram Reputo Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 As you may have seen, we have upgraded the forum software to a newer version. The servers are rebuilding the forum in the background while trying to keep everything running. The forum is quite large. There may be glitches (like sigs not showing up). More than likely there will be many new features, issues and problems while the new software beds in. Please give us a few days to sort things out before posting complaints. Once the software is finished we will be happy to deal with problems that arise. Thank you for your patience 6 Quote ebook: Mastering Paint.NET | resources: Plugin Index | Stereogram Tut | proud supporter of Codelab plugins: EER's Plugin Pack | Planetoid | StickMan | WhichSymbol+ | Dr Scott's Markup Renderer | CSV Filetype | dwarf horde plugins: Plugin Browser | ShapeMaker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Brewster Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 Things will be different and things will feel weird for awhile.

You Know i was born in the early 80's, When all the gaming and the videos and media spread wildly. Its where i was found my self experience this Art like a child. And the 90's was so Inspiring so it effect on me and the future, not just for me off course. So, Its like you you will say: " Salvador Dali was Insane, and had a Psychosis: I hope we not going to see his students after century coming to Make this kind of..." But, that's your opinion and i respect that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't compare a great artist and his work with some animated avatars in a forum. Permanent animations of this kind are simply annoying. Edit: For a while (some hours) I use a new, animated version of my avatar. As you can see, It's possible but annoying.

You know the definition of Avatar is: Personal Image that give expression to Users in The Social Media and Games. and, The Embodiment of something Abstract or Imaginary. In Hinduism the Avatar is the Realization of Divinity. So, you know now what My Avatar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shochi Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 (edited) Yes i understand what you mean IRON. The bottom line is that is very difficult to watch screen full of Animated images. your eyes is rolling crazy. you think you're lost. you can't even focus in one thing. My suggestion to Admins, is maybe they could Host a competition for 1 best Animated Avatar every time they will choose. And the chosen will get the permission to add his Animated Avatar, and we all will get something that not annoying definitely. We all be Happy.

Goonfella Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 Just popped in and surprise surprise! All change. I`ll have to have a proper nose around before I decide either way . Only thing that bothers me so far is the lack of a proper separation line between the avatars on the left and the text . 2 Quote Please feel free to visit my Gallery on PDNFans And my Alternatives to PDN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it's as though the page is too big for the screen. A vertical line would be nice on the right side between the Threads and the latest posts . 2 Quote How I made Jennifer & Halle in Paint.net My Gallery | My Deviant Art "Rescuing one animal may not change the world, but for that animal their world is changed forever!" anon.

Red ochre Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 It seems every sentence is a new paragraph now? (on existing pages) I'm not looking forward to mending my gallery and plugin pages but I'm sure that's nothing compared to the extra work the admins will have to do.

DrewDale Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 (edited) Difficult to navigate on Mobile Phone if you just want to check out what's going on. I liked also to see new posts on the home page without having to click tabs first. Also seems a bit bright to read on PC / Laptop, or did i clean my monitor too much / Edit - Pressing the Enter key, shifts down a one line space when posting, Shift + Enter is the only way to type directly under the line you just type. (if that makes sense) Edited August 9, 2016 by DrewDale Added another line 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nitenurse79 Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 Bugs perhaps: #1 Won't allow me to post using Microsoft Edge (Yes Windows is up to date) Had to resort to chrome to post this. #2 Profiles can be viewed without logging in. #3 As Drew says, pressing enter creates a one line space between sentences. Also have to agree, it seems very bright to read, not good for me or other members who have issues with light sensitivity. 5 minutes and I have a serious headache What purpose is the Downloads tab ? Also why is there a Gallery tab, when there is also a Gallery link on the home page ? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both confirmed here. I had to scrape the barrel and use IE11 to post this. ( I removed chrome after the Win10 Anniversary Update / Add block extension for Edge) I have also just had a look at the SOTW comp thread, there is now no way for me to add or edit a poll once the entry period had ended.

MJW Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 I don't care for it at all. Everything seems so large and spread out. So little fits on one screen's worth. Currently, it's like reading a large-print book. I'd prefer fewer blank areas, particularly fewer blank-line separators. For example, topic lists shouldn't be separated by blank lines.The bolded, blue-colored heading links provide sufficient separation. While the line separations may marginally increase readability, the inconvenience of the extra scrolling isn't worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
