Turn back to old gbatemp

[bradzx]

Ok I don't like this new way. When I post it, it loading to post. I never see this like that. Other forum website is simple way. Post it and that it. Not loading post to set the post. I want this website turn back to old. I don't like new look and stuff. It really annoying. Whatever who create this website, I want turn it back to old. Where is perfectly and smooth. No lagging, no ad pop up, and no loading post. It really waste my time because it too much memory for post loading, lagging, and ad pop up. Change it back to old one please. Thank if you do.

It's very awkward, especially on a mobile device. Posting in mobile mode is almost impossible, posting in normal mode is literally impossible. It's also a bloated systems hog, runs like crap on my netbook with all its fancy sliding and fading animations and the topic list doesn't display properly in IE, with the topic icons only half showing because the column they're in is too thin.

Posting in mobile mode is only hard if you're using a bad browser, I've posted several times from Dolphin HD, on my Android 2.3.4 phone, as well as from my iPod Touch running iOS4 in Mobile Safari. If it's running "like crap", that is the fault of your web browser; I suggest using Firefox (7 or above), Chrome or Opera. As for Internet Explorer, everything renders fine for me in 9 (which was installed on all Vista/7 machines via a "critical" update)
If you're really having issues with size on a netbook, try forcing a higher resolution.

Yes, I actually post from the (awesome) mobile version of GBATemp pretty often. Works perfect for me using Dolphin HD on my Android. Fast and it looks nice, also love how people have their avatar images still!

i know this may sound and is stupid but there should be a setting to use the old appearance

This is not just an appearance, but a completely new forum.
In fact we decided to "keep" the old appearance, that's why the forum use the same color/css/layout instead of making a new theme for the new forum.
We updated the theme to work with the new forum version.

It's old images over the new forum.
You can't have the old forum working at the same time as the new one. it's not the same code/database.

Mobile devices like a phone, looks awesome, thanks to IPboardMobile.

I hope they will make new theme color. I like white one from before. And some nice background stuff.

New GBAtemp is great, except butchered Blogs.
I'd rather fix your English than "fix" GBAtemp.

I'm not a big fan of the upgraded board either, but my main complaints are not so much the appearance and navigation. (yeah, it's a bit brighter, and I need to relearn where things are, but I can live with it) as they are annoying features. Among the ones I detest most so far: the floating username/search bar, "Like This" button on every post (I could see per-topic, but per-post? Really?), and the use of AJAX for replying.

If anything, an option to eliminate AJAX (i.e. a "Use legacy reply" in the settings) and an option to disable the floating username/search bar would be appreciated.

I like the sound of that (bold part) and I would even make it the default behavior...

Changes happen, and you just have to get used to them.

I wasn't the biggest fan of the redesign when it came out, but I got over it and moved on. To ask the administrators to undo all their hard work now is a little bit ridiculous.

i made a set of filters that remove all this "social bullshit" type of stuff from the website. so far, i got it removing the "like", "blog this", "follow forum/thread", status updater, rss, and a couple other things. I removed the floating username thing, but then I didnt see a way to know if you got a new PM or not, so i brought it back .

Wait, there is rss here too? Like each thread?

I think it's just the blogs and calender.

As for Internet Explorer, everything renders fine for me in 9 (which was installed on all Vista/7 machines via a "critical" update)

It was an "optional" update for me on Windows 7.

Nice! I'll definitely be using some of those

Quite a few websites I use have gone "social crazy" in recent months...

 

[boombox]

I really like the new site, it's more contemporary, nicer to look at, and it is actually easy to use if you use your brain, have a general click around at all the settings etc.
Just deal with it.
It'll grow on you, people usually hate change...until it gets old...then they moan that it's rubbish - yes it's a vicious cycle

 

[DeathStrudel]

The whole thing seems more like bloated social integration rather than an upgrade. I don't dislike it per se, but it seems pointless as nothing was really improved at all.
