So who here likes the new set up ............. I think it looks too fancy .... I kinda liked the simpleton look before.

Wait, they finally switched? I've been using beta.ar15.com for a week or more now.
http://www.ar15.com/forums/topic.html?b=1&f=75&t=812959 I like it. I like cartoony-looking stuff. I miss my tan/coyote theme, though. |

I don't. ETA: and my avatar looks like crap. Yeah, you're going to need to make a new one. The new size is 175 x 95 pixels. I couldn't fit mine in any good way, and I didn't want to crop and lose any of the flag, so I just put a red banner on each side of it. I had red on the left and blue on the right and realized it looked like a French flag. 
ETA: The "upload avatar" link in the profile seems to be broken now. Super. Supposedly, this is due to the new avatar server's not being up yet and will go away when it is brought online. |

Those of you who didn't know this was coming (and missed the 25-page thread started almost a month ago), do you know about the new Equipment Exchange? See a preview here: http://ee.ar15.com
It's up and running. They just haven't shut down the old one yet. |

It's discussed somewhere in that 25 (26?) page thread. |

The avatars all look like shit and the screens are too "busy". What was the reason for the change? It appears cosemetic only. Why go to the effort? As another posted, if it ain't broke don't fix it. Thanks Book. I like the larger avatar size and spent a lot of time fixing mine up so it looked ok.

This update has been through the mods, staff, and team members for over a month while we received feedback and tested code changes. The goal of this new update brings all of the front end code up to standards, removing the old junk code we've lived with. In addition the site received an updated look, with new skins (more being added in the coming weeks), a reduced header size, and hooks for all the new toys and tools. With this change, we'll be monitoring the servers to ensure there are no issues on the network side. We have a few pieces of hardware coming soon, which will help improve performance and address a few stability issues with connections. This phase (phase 1) is focused on the forums, so you may notice graphic errors and issues through the site tools and user pages. Each phase will update certain areas as well as bring new tools to your fingertips. The majority of changes and additions come from your feedback through the past 2 years and will include such features as ignore lists, upgraded search capabilities, serious rebuild of the (IM) messaging system, and more. This is the thread to cry, bitch, and moan, so feel free to do so. |

At least give us the option of NOT using the new site. If you are interested in ANYTHING other than the posts it's great. Yeah, most other boards I'm on have "skin" options, so you cab pick the look you like best. I always pick the simple ones that don't look like this |

Profile > Edit Preferences > Thread Style > Classic Format (Horizontal) Do this and it will feel more like the old arfcom. And where the hell did the link to my profile go??? Thank you. That made it even worse to try to read a thread in my opinion.

I still use the lite site with out problems but of course you can't post anything with it. |
