Welcome to the new SBR Forum!

benjy · 03-01-12, 10:05 AM

It may have already been noted but I'm missing the "back to forum" link at the bottom of the page. I think it used to go between the "previous thread" and the "next thread" links.

Edit by SBR Lou: Thank you for your feedback. We will look at placing it back in that spot.

1- It's taking longer for page load once I click a thread

2- Can't figure out how to find my Contests? Am I missing a link

Edit by SBR Lou: This is the first speed related feedback we've heard. Are you on phone right now, PC etc? The Contests/Spreadsheet area wasn't part of the original sidebar design. We're going to add it.

I'm on my laptop using explorer, too scared to look at forum on my phone based on what I've read so far

I think it's the ads on the right side juts taking awhile to load. I get frozen for just a few seconds on the 1st post while everything loads up, didn't happen to me on the old format...

VegasVixen · 03-01-12, 10:20 AM

Seems better now that I've been surfing around a bit... definitely slow to page load when I first logged on.

Excellent, keep us posted.

A bit too bright for my personal preference. And each post is taking up un needed room, so it's a longer scroll.

sig buttons only fit 5 across now, making scrolling fdown threads even longer.

The new edit function looks prettier. But sucks in comparision to the old one.

agreed on all points, except I don't have the edit function. But yeah on the rest of it.

Edit by SBR Lou: You didn't have editing on the old forum, either. You do not have PM access.

JMobile · 03-01-12, 11:06 AM

Like my teachers always said, "there's always room for improvement".

face · 03-01-12, 11:06 AM

too much space in my opinion, liked seeing more thread titles on screen at once

too white

ngates815 · 03-01-12, 11:08 AM

Don't know if this has been mentioned:

At the bottom of the page it has "first, 2,3,4,5" in regards to the page number of the thread.

I believe that the old forum used to have that on the top as well and I don't see it on here. Anyway to get that added onto here?
I liked to view whatever post was on the top of the page and if I haven't read it yet, then I'd just click to the previous page from up there, now I have to scroll to the bottom of the page just to get to the previous.

In that case, just click the "View First Unread" link we have now in the top left of the thread. Some of these features will take a little while to pick-up, but will become familiar.

will2survive · 03-01-12, 11:12 AM

I appreicate the hardwork that you guys put into SBR. Anything new take's time to get used to. Look's good

LVHerbie · 03-01-12, 11:12 AM

Overall alot cleaner although not sure about the need for all the white space between posts as it leaves your scrolling a hell of alot to get through a thread... But the all important search feature is back so I can live with everything else...

Is the button to click to show threads you posted in ("my posts" maybe?) gone or I'm just going blind?

Edit by SBR Lou: Regarding the space between posts, there is a change underway.

Yes, the My Posts link is still there. It is now in the sidebar area:

will2survive · 03-01-12, 11:13 AM

I like the larger view of the avatars. very nice

Going blind... Found it about ten seconds after I posted...

nosniboR11 · 03-01-12, 11:17 AM

this is tough to look at

yisman · 03-01-12, 11:18 AM

Lou, I was saying that I couldn't say whether I agree about the edit function because I don't know about that part.

But I agree on his other points.

The sidebar is basically your new user area, whereas it used to be top right.

secretstash · 03-01-12, 11:22 AM

yes what ngates said is important..

page 2 3 4 5 last page should be accescible from the top of the page too .. that is the way the old forum was so u can easily navigate to a certain page at the top of the thread where it should be.

does that make sense lou?

thanks man

3PtShooter · 03-01-12, 11:22 AM

kinda looks like craigslist

It does... but there are new features/placement of things, some things changed, others stayed the same.

We won't be able to make everything in the spot that it used to be. We're weighing the feedback and of course, user acceptance is important and some stuff mentioned is already being implemented.

HeeeHAWWWW · 03-01-12, 11:29 AM

I like it.

One minor problem: I can't logon on my tablet, on the mobile version of sbrforum (which is really nice and quick to load btw). It rejects my password every time, yet the same pw works fine on the desktop version.

Edit by SBR Lou: Thanks for sharing. This is the first report we've heard of a PW situation. Please re-set your password and it will work, may need to be resynced.

jimmyjames · 03-01-12, 11:30 AM

Where can i find match up pages?

Kaabee · 03-01-12, 11:32 AM

why are a bunch of the posts center justified?

baskets · 03-01-12, 11:34 AM

too white, too bland

doesn't look good. lost it's color and eye-pleasing feel. certainly things not as easily accessible

too many people sucking forum brass's ass units

it's like that new Facebook change... for the worse.

Click Sports Picks at the top navigation bar. That takes you to www.SBRForum.com, which lists multiple leagues pages that contain match ups.

Can you provide a screenshot?

WvGambler · 03-01-12, 11:40 AM

Ok, finally got a look at the actual full site. I dont want to harp on things that have already been hammered, but:

choosing thread pages should be at top and bottom of the page.

posts shouldnt have those huge white blank spaces afterwards....theres enough room in those boxes for a wantitall4moi post, when in reality only enough room for a

was needed. This is making only 5 posts per page.

the mobile stuff I already stated.

I DO like the CHoose last unread post feature....pretty cool. And the sight looks cleaner....just needs tightened up. These will all be welcome changes once people get adjusted.

Carseller4 · 03-01-12, 11:40 AM

Can't find "My Contests"

What was so bad with the other set up that led to this monstrosity?

opie1988 · 03-01-12, 11:45 AM

Lou- apologize if this has already been addressed.....but on my iPhone I'm unable to see who is the author of threads. It only shows me who made the last post.

This is no good. Will we be able to see who started each thread soon?

Yes, that's included on SBR Mobile's list.

Checkerboard · 03-01-12, 11:57 AM

sbr home improvements luv it

Kindred · 03-01-12, 12:03 PM

Love the speed improvements, old forum was slow and pages would hang made it a chore to browse the forum. Besides the white space which is already being fixed I love the upgrade great job IT guys

neverstoppers23 · 03-01-12, 12:07 PM

nice, i like the new lay-out.
not surprised people are bitching about it, its what they do.

t-wizzle · 03-01-12, 12:13 PM

You used to be able to click on a poster's name and it would have a drop-down feature that allowed you to message them, check out their sbr or spreadsheet, or view their posts. What happened to this feature?

Edit by SBR Lou: That feature isn't installed in this version of the software. We'll consider it.

lakerboy · 03-01-12, 12:19 PM

not a fan of the mobile at all
