I was a beta tester and have been on the new site for a couple of weeks now. It takes a little bit of getting used to but I actually like it better than the old site.

This change is pretty terrible. 75% of my screen on my laptop screen is an advertisement and site notices bar on top and a giant distorted avatar bar on the left. On this thread I cant even see the first posters sig line without scrolling down.
Apparently the former mobile site is dead as well and messaging a 404 and something about spongebob. I am just using the https ARL mirror site now. You know the change is bad when the ARL site has a better/more usable layout. |

How do I get it off old people mode? It's been AARPified. 3 times less Information displayed with monster sized font. Decreasing browser zoom doesn't help... all useless space. 300% less efficient. The layout and default font size choice is most striking -- why in gods name would you double the default font size when that's baked into personal prefs for the computer and browser itself? Huge derp. |

The mobile version of the page is not to bad... now the over use of black sucks a little but its not as bad as the old mobile version. Hell the old mobile version sucked bad enough that i would use the desktop version on my phone.
On a side note the post count for each user does not display on the mobile version .... not sure what the elite members are going to do as they seem to use this to determine the worth of members.. especially the non lawyers that try and give legal advise to show they know how to read legal documents but really don't know how to interpret them. |

Damn, I was sick to my stomach earlier, now looking at the new ARFcom has made it worse!
 I'm going to go blind reading this small type and font type too. I tried enlarging the size in the forum preferences, but that didn't work. Crappy font on a white background is hard to read. The other changes will be ok after I get used to them, but have to say this change will definitely decrease the amount of time I spend surfing this site compared to the old format.

Landscape mode helps on iPad for reading but typing is a PITA.
I got in on the original beta testing then it got rolled to all mods and staff. I think the beta testing may have been a bit too short. A lot of fixes have already been done it looks like. |

It was broken, it needed scalability, whatever the fuck that means. I just want to be able to get the newest topics from the entire site like in the old days. Glad I didn't renew after the April Fools Fiasco.

Someone needs to adjust the contrast on the threads so you can see which are new and old. They both have the same folder icon with a slightly different shade of gray.

GAWD, the "new improved" verision is AWFULL!!
I liked being able to see a smattering of topics under active. Now all that is gone. When I go to the Texas Equipement Exchange, I can only see ONE freaking page, (There is no way I know of to go past the first page) If things don't get sorted out quickly, I see my credit card company issuing me a refund from my recent renewal... Been here since 2004 and just can't believe what a mess the "new" format is... BIGGER_HAMMER

It's not as bad as it could be, I've seen others forum go through worse. I think it might have helped if they'd shown what it would look like before they rolled it out.

Personally, I liked the '3 lined menu box' and the Arfcom logo bar when it stuck to the top of the page while scrolling down. I could have done without the extra clutter of a redundant menu bar for 'active topics', 'newest topics', 'subscriptions', etc. All of those were available in the tools menu icon.
I guess a lot of people here were too lazy to click on a menu icon and had to have a 'special snowflake box' rendered to get to those choices.
