Appreciate it!

Looks great .

It's too bright with white background.

Is there a Dark Mode to use black background with white letters?

[Optional]

I would like a clickable link at the bottom of each page that shows the current forum, that I can click to view the main page of that forum/sub-forum.

Thanks for the feedback. There currently is not a dark mode option but I will look to see if the forum platform plans to make that available.

Good suggestion, I will pass that along. In the meantime, if you hit 'Go to top' it will take you to the top of the page where you can then click back to the forum main page (ie. Players Talk). An extra click I know, but will take you where you are looking to go.

If I wanted to go across the street, I would've gone across the street. Now SBR just looks like every other generic board on the web. Ick, just looking at it makes me wanna close the tab.

My comment/thread got deleted?

I moved it to the feedback thread, we are trying to channel all feedback into one spot.

Is there anything specific about the layout you would like to see improved? Please let us know.

My comment didn't appear (at least not to me) in this thread until I posted the follow up comment. Plus, what subforum does this topic exist in? Because when you go to PT, there's no "Feedback" thread on the page.

Concerning the layout, it's just the played out carbon copy version of countless other forums. I liked the old SBR layout, it was clean and clutter free. This version is not friendly to the eyes, I don't think this change was necessary. You can upgrade while leaving the layout untouched I would imagine. It sucks.

Apologies for the mix-up. The feedback thread and bug reporting thread are in the Site Suggestions forum. They are both linked in the Forum Upgrade Guide in Players Talk.

Regarding the layout, we upgraded to the newest version of our existing platform so it is a pretty standard interface they offer. A bit cookie-cutter I agree but it provided the best option for a smooth migration.

Appreciate your input.

Been thru this before, with no positive results, but asking anyway. How can I get either upload options to full size, when the full size option changes nothing. It's unreadable otherwise.

Just opened it up for the first time and I agree 10000 %

I’ve seen this more times than I can count. A site “upgrades” to make it prettier for their professional touts, and, big surprise, it’s less user friendly, and traffic takes a nose-dive. SBR is about to learn a hard lesson.

Try copy/pasting the image direct into the post box instead of attaching it. I suspect it might make a difference to the auto sizing

It came out a little larger, but it remains unreadable.

I still don't see where this thread is linked to Players Talk.

The linking of threads to multiple forums is not a standard feature of the software. Devs are assessing the possibility of adding a plugin to do similar.

Andy meant this thread is linked from the main Forum Upgrade thread located in Players Talk.

I hope they can bring back sLinks. They were very useful.

i will put in a request that image uploads use the original full size version when it is clicked. Instead of just repeating the resized one as we see right now.

I see it now, but at the time the Forum Upgrade thread just gave me an error code.

Thanks – but I won’t hold my breath. Not my first rodeo. I can predict the first response you’ll get: “Nothing wrong here. It’s the user’s fault.” Nothing will change until, and unless, SBR big foots the process. And, based on my experience at other sites, that’s pretty unlikely. I will check back from time to time to see if a miracle happens, but, as I said, not holding my breath.

For the time being, can you upload your photos to an image hosting site first like you were doing before? Testing an image link from your NBA thread below:

This is yesterday's projections uploaded "Fullsize" from imgur just now.

Yes, with a file like that take the imgur url and add [img] [/img] around it and it will display full size like my example above.

Is that how you write it because that doesn't work.

The image you posted from my NBA thread was first posted prior to the site "upgrade" (ie. before it got better?).

I will send you a PM

Does everyone else agree ?

This is suppose to look more modern and attract the younger crowd?

good luck with that

[franklee168]

This happened about 5 years ago? Where's the tab to go back to the old screen?

[DJK]

Unfortunately, I agree with biggie.

Things are super spaced out everywhere which makes it more work to scroll through everything.

Too much wasted space versus the previous software which was more condensed and a bit easier to navgate through. We were able to see more things on one page for sure which makes it less work to move around and be able to see more things quickly.

Perhaps if the line spacing was reduced then maybe it could help?

I agree

[unde0087]

Ya, it isn't good. It may get better once I get used to it but this feels like we jumped into a time machine and went back to dial up internet type stuff.

[gauchojake]

2005 called and wants its forum back

[biggie12]

Just SBR doing SBR things nothing new.

[Eddy Munny]

I already started a thread lamenting the layout and it got absorbed into another thread I guess.

I don't know why this layout format is so popular, it's clinical and hideous..
