Why fix something not broke? I thought the old site laid out pretty well. Internet sites constantly change I think because they feel the need to keep interest. I've always liked HR the best but will likely look around more now at the other sites.
It'll work. I hope no one went to a lot of trouble as the old way was just fine.
It's a lot better than ESPN, where I can't find a score without loading 3 pages.
I refuse. I'm just going to pretend like nothing's changed.

That is easily the worst part about the new ESPN site. Click on the score to get to the box score and they launch the damn gamecast!
Not at all-too "busy"-just leave well enough alone already, can't ya? Geeesh.
Well said. New ESPN site is awful. Clicking on scores or even trying to read the Big 10 football blog. It is terrible now to scroll from one article to the next full of ads. Liked the old format but this one but not like this one is an awful transition like what ESPN did to their site.
Well pooie to you mobile users. Get a real computer like the rest of us.
Seriously though, mobile users are a big factor in forums upgrading their software and by all accounts XenForo is one of the best out there.
If you want some entertainment, go to Peegs. Thread view apparently is not available any more (mobile users hated it) and the lads are seriously upset.
My only gripe is no more drop down menu to float between the FB and BB boards. At least none that I can see.
Oh and the Peegs folks can go ahead and jump off the ledge. Thread view is for scum.
I can't wait to see what one of my novels looks like in this format. But it gave me a weird writer's bock that I have to work through first.
Testing edit function: I notice a big "report" button on each post. Just a note to my "friends", I love you all and will be better behaved. :^) I promise.

I found it! At the top of the page on the right hand side, right above your name and post count there's a little squiggly thing that looks like a ball with three balls dangling down from it. Click that.
Well, internet sites do change, but we have been operating on the old system for more than a decade. It was out of date and this new platform functions better for desktop and mobile users and it has a lot of new options, particularly in terms of embedding media files to posts.
I know some folks don't like change. I'm pretty much that way too, but this upgrade had to happen for the long term health of the network from a message board standpoint. Most sites today use a message board format very similar to this one, so I don't think you are going to find an Iowa site out there that has a decade old technology.
Give this some time. I think once you get used to it, you will like the changes.
All I know my phone used to work great on this site but the last couple of months it seemed to get really really slow. So far this new deal seems to be working like it used to.
Yeah no kidding. What in the hell were they thinking with that "upgrade"?.......
I have almost quit going to their site but I suppose like any new website that get changed I'm sure I will get used to it at some point.
Thought it was fine before. Liked on my phone better the old way. The tablet seems about the same. It would be a push anyhow...
This comes across as change for the sake of change- even if you used the old format for ten years which really doesn't matter. In the technology realm things do change but you can tweak things without ripping up a user friendly format like that. This doesn't seem user friendly nor visually appealing- looked at the Nebraska board and thought the same thing.
It'll take some time to get used to. But--please, darken some of that very dim, faint, murky writing!
For some reason you have to click on it for that dark writing to show up right. Had trouble posting which sort of fits in with finding this new format a bit awkward. This went Rivals wide and we have no choice but to get used to it. They made their choice and you can't get around some readers finding it unappealing.
