Add me to the votes of disliking the new format … not sure what the pro is for the cost of the con of wasting a ton of screen space.
It sucks .
Mine is 1366x768 and looks terribly narrow. I would really like it to be changed back.
It’s very uncomfortable to use.
Admins:
Please, for the sake of making this site enjoyable to use, restore the old format.
Thank you.
Roger, you want feedback on your interface enhancement? It sucks. “Ice” designs are 1990s, and there’s a good reason most of us left them there when CSS took off. You can’t anticipate the font size I’ll use for reading comfort; by limiting the horizontal space I have to some arbitrary number you think “looks good,” you’re shortening the lines of text, making me scroll more frequently (an annoyance when I try to catch up on threads of interest while, say, washing dishes), and making me work my already-fatigued eyes about twice as hard to read your content. And at some point it becomes not-worth-it enough to head off and find another community. Let us choose our own dratted column width by sizing our windows. We’re not here for “consistency” – we’re here for content.
Yes, why do we have the dark blue areas? They should be eliminated or greatly reduced in order to increase the thread content area. Please change it back.
Ugh, what a messed up format. It looks like I’m trying to read CC through a tunnel. Basically, you’re filling the sides of the screen with blue when it could contain more information for quicker browsing, like it was before.
Haha, so true. The layout now reminds me of the geocities webpage I made ages ago.
Thanks for the change back!
Wow!! That was fast! I guess they were reading our posts. Good to know. Can’t blame them for trying new things, but this change back is really nice of them. Thanks, guys!
Thank you.
hmm it didn’t seem to change back for me…i use chrome
i’m on google chrome, in the fresh style itz still narrow, but if you switch to the classic view it is back to normz.
mine didn’t change, and I don’t know what this google chrome etc. means.
i also don’t like those swirling things that appear either.
Swirling things?
We have changed the “CC Classic” style back to fluid width. It seems like many of the complaints were from users of that skin. To change your forum skin, scroll to the bottom of the page, look in the lower left for a drop-down selector, and choose “CC.”
Let us know if that helps!
It looks great now! Thanks!
Hi, can you please change the fresh skin back to ‘fluid width’? No reason why it should be different from the CC skin.
TYVM!
Thank you. The CC width is back to normal. It would be nice to see the Fresh width not be so narrow, but it’s that’s not going to happen, at least we can use CC.
I imagine this is because people using the CC Classic skin tend to be more “power” users who would know where to complain about this sort of change (or realize it was something on the website and not necessarily their computer).
I didn’t like it at all when it was changed. Now I am used to it and can’t quite remember the old format. So I guess that means I am either very flexible or just forgetful…
