    This is certainly a drastic change.

    I prefer vBulletin or phpBB for forums I visit, so this will certainly take some time to get used to.

    I liiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiive!!!! (I love you Misty. <3)

    Most of my issues have either already been mentioned, or I posted them in the issues thread already. The general feel I'm getting about all this is that it's new and different and scary, but we'll get used to it in time. I'm already re-training my brain on where to click to get what I want.

    Although it feels like someone put Facebook, Twitter, and a forum into a blender. Just saying.

    Facebook had a child with twitter. All it needs now is an IM system and A more complicated video portal and it'll have replaced Skype and YouTube as well

    It'll take me quite a while to get used to this. I can't no longer see 100 post by page or the users viewing the thread. I got to admit that I like how it look.
    I was wondering; What will happen to the pins? Will it be some equivalent with the trophies or these "medals"? Is there still an auto-save function for the post?

    Is stated here that pins will be returning. :3 I am unsure about your other question because I have not noticed an auto-save pop up while making a post.

    Hmm...I like it so far, but I miss my rep gems a bit. And I can't figure out how to find my post template, or is that now gone?

    Otherwise, nice job on getting us back up and running.

    EDIT: I lost my pinkyness.....;_;

    I know obviously a bunch of stuff is still being changed and added, but someone told me just to put what I don't like that much here, so I will, not sure if it's been said before but I'll just be reinforcing anything this way.

    Trophies = kinda pointless if there's only 8 and they're all for doing the same thing, either make more or ditch 'em.
    Skinny forum, plox, it looks awful this wide, and I shouldn't have to use firefox just to get it to work, default skinny forum plz.
    New theme, this one doesn't look nice at all with this board, it's TOO dull, and this is coming from a guy who doesn't know what shape the sun is.
    Can't view members in any special way, it's all just alphabetical, no by trophies or likes or w/e(I'm sure you guys planned to add that anyway)
    I hope you plan to do this next one, change the user titles, these default ones stiiiink.
    Does the thread OP's avatar have to be the icon for a thread? when a board is full of different thread OP's it looks really jarring and not neat, i'd rather just a universal image like the old forum.
    Last thing, everything looks tiny, even with size 7 it barely looks noticeable, you could post only in size 7 and I don't think anyone would notice.
    That's my issues, will post more when I find them.

    EDIT: found a new one, VM's are 140 characters max, please dear god increase that.

    The sun is squared, vivi.

    My only problem at the moment, which I've mentioned a few times, is the forum look/colour. It really messes with my head. Pretty confident I went insane for a wee bit whilst looking at it.

    It is very hard to distinguish different parts of the threads, like quote boxes, their borders, space between posts etc. because everything is too dark and the colors are all the same.

    Yeah, It's kinda confusing but I think I can get use to it. I never posted much on Vbulletin anyways so It will be easier for me.

    I want to enquire about post templates?

    I'm guessing you couldn't find an equivalent, but I wanted to ask since they were very useful. Especially with RPing for things like banners etc.

    Okay, I know a lot of people have probably said this already, and I know that my opinion isn't important to the staff and that they're happy with this change but... no joke, this new design is just awful.
    First off, I really don't like how I can't tell who is online any more. When I came on I felt like this place empty and lifeless because of the lack of any indicater that anyone was online. Hell, I assumed on one had come back at all until I looked and saw recent posts. This is also bad because what if I need to talk to staff? How will I know who is online?
    Also, why change friends to followers? Just why? Of all the things that could have been changed that was like one of the things that didn't need to be changed.
    What are trophy points? Why are they there and why were they felt like they needed to be here?
    And... I'm sorry, but everywhere I look I see something I could just bitch about for fifteen minutes and putting them all down would take me more time then I would want...

    Don't get me wrong, I like change. Change is good. But the changes here are awful.



    TL;DR: link

    And about the tl;dr part?

    So yeah... no hard feelings staf? :)

    You should explore the site more, as you can clearly see who is online on the forum index. It's right there on the right. How could you possibly miss it? Everything is debunkt because of that simple fact.

    Okay, yeah, I missed that part. BUT, that only answers one of my many, many, many problems. Also, VMs don't seem to work anymore or at least like they use to.
    And why do I need to get alerted everytime some likes or quotes one of my posts? Why?

    Okay, I don't get the new alert system. Why should I notified if someone quoted me or not? It's not like I should be happy that I get quoted, but I prefer the site the way it was before.

    None of your problems so far seem like anything of substance. VMs work basically the same, the only difference is that now you can also post on a VM. That's the only real difference. More options = bad?
    You can alter the settings of the alerts so that you get them as often you want. The fact that you can have them set to alerting you when you get quoted is a good thing, it's a feature that has been missing from this forum for years. If you don't like it, then you can turn it off. Again, having more options = bad?

    Please try the various options before complaining and making a fool of yourself.

    You can edit the alert system, you know. Go to alert preferences.

    Okay whatever. Look I'm new to this confusing, and if I'm being brutally honest, incredably stupid new layout of KHV. So forgive me if I didn't know this crap from the get-go.

    Or maybe I just really miss the way the site was before it was like this.

    But you are not giving it a chance at all, you are just saying it is stupid without even trying to figure out how very simple features of the work.

    It's not like we moved over for absolutely no reason. Don't forget that.
