I think that Bing and whomever else had the right idea about upgrading SON240SX, but now it looks like everything is oversize! If things downsized a bit it would be better!

FTL due to DK mode!

FTW: networking with our extended family!

the old host was nice and clean  
everything stood out  
no more homepage  
and the colouring blends everything together making it harder to read at a glance

linking all the other sites is cool though

I’m not overly concerned about the aesthetics as yet, What I do love though is the cross forum postings. It’s going to really help individual sales and purchases for one, transfer alot of knowledge and build new bridges.

Hey guys,

over the next couple days / weeks please be in touch with us about issues you find in the interface

there are going to be alot of little things that need to be done with user accounts and permissions and forums etc. but it would have had to have happened eventually anyways so lets get it all out of the way early on.

I’m not totally satisfied with the lay out of the forums right now but it was necessary because of some of the things we wanted to do. We’ll find ways around it to make things more friendly as we go.

Agreed with meh. I kinda like the new layout, but as bing said, they’re still working at it. I have faith that a fair share will be improved. Looking forward to it! Keep up the good work, mods.

Definitely not liking the **over crowded** forum categories now.  
I have no clue where I’m looking anymore and get quite lost.

I’ve been doing some tests of my own on 4.0 with CanDrift. It’s quite different so I can understand the complications within the entire CMS format.

Not liking the banner sections at all either. The ad is MUCH to big.

I am seriously loooost!  
I’m surprised I even found this thread to post in lol  
Then again. I’m not a fan of change. I’m sure it will grow on everyone.

I do agree with to much white.  
I also agree with Mike…the forum is cluttered like a mofo.

I dunno, I just go with the flow lol

Good work though guys!
