Wishes for the new forums:
* Do not use grey as "colour" for the texts.
Better contrast - better reading - better understanding (ok, sometimes in some posts, this is hard even with best contrast ). The New Forums are more difficult to read even for non-handicapped. But what about them ?
* Do not use smaller fonts than the actual one.
Personally I think THIS font is the smallest you should use on screens. (Remember all the READ THE F***KING MANUAL-flames ?? One of the reasons a lot of people didn't read long threads or ReadMe's is a lack of reading-comfort because the fonts are too small - and yes, I know one can change the settings).
* Eliminate ranks and use the date of registering instead. THIS would reduce Spam considerably (pleeease don't flame; I read a lot of the off-topic-stuff with great amusement).


I don't care a beep beep about my rank

Well, rank is (extremely) basically a measure of how active you've been on this forum. It doesn't count towards respect earned or anything, just how often you've posted, so I don't think it should be taken out ........

Just a quick update:

I have been (and still am) plagued with wome back issues, which mean that I can't sit down for extensive timeperiods. Very annoying. I'm under treatment for that, but that is to why I have been absent.

Also I found some serious issues with the software version of the new forums, so I have helped the authors of the software to improve the next version. That version should be out in the end of september, and shortly after that period - unless I again find serious issues - I'll be transferring.

I like the new look.

Not sure that I would be using an avatar but WGAFF anyway.

It is surprisingly easier on my eyes and I can't say why for sure. I think it is because there is less stark contrasting involved? Like it isn't overbright or something.

Which new look is that Ed?

The new forum layout.... um, what got this thread started in the first place?

Although, as silly as it sounds, I'd keep the OT forums tucked down under like the old layout instead out front.

Overall, it seems less busy but I cannot put my finger on why.

BTW, who is Goddess of AI?
