Can the ridiculously tall/large header image be turned off somewhere?

Good lord - this is a forum, not a brochure/portfolio site...

Have to agree there.
Way too large. It's taking up almost a quarter of the full screen browser window here.

I started this thread this morning,  but wanted to take some time to form an opinion before posting it. I viewed it on three different monitors where I work including a 4K monitor, plus on my setup at home.  Frankly, I think it looks terrible compared to what it used to look like. It's slow, hard to navigate, too much wasted space, and I don't care for the layout,  and did I mention that it's slow. The emoticons don't even work or at least I can't figure out how they work. Such is progress I guess..  LOL  

 

 

 

It's fine on my desktop, but slow on my iPhone 5.  And when I try to use the menu on the upper right it makes me have to scroll sideways to navigate.  Shouldn't have to scroll sideways in a mobile version.

This giant very boring picture on top - please, complete waste of time and space.

It is not even circulating or changing it's always the same Plus what is the point how does this improve things.

It seems like "change for change" in some places without serious debate a functionality.

Take it out or let's user with a cookie slide away permanently in settings.

And why text DoubleSpace by default, again colossal waste of space and time.

When making changes, think of improvements, make it faster, make it more essential, allow users to move through quickly and exchange as much information as possible that's the whole point of this exercise.

This definitely is step backwards, like going back to the last century when nobody knew what to do with this new media and they would putting cute things around and kip decorating like christmas tree.

Please.

I think the AVSim logo should be larger.

Huge wasted space everywhere, between lines and topics, at least on a high resolution monitor (2560x1440) for me.

Most of what is said on the Internet may be the same thing they shovel on the regular basis at the local barn.

This new forum is hard on VAS.

LOL!!

About the new forum, for the moment it's too slow on my PC and unusable on mobile.
Regarding it's features, not different from any other forum on the interwebs.

I am sure that I will get used to the forums, now that there is an announcement I realize why the forums had to be changed.  I did not know this when I posted about the change earlier today.  

While the header is a great pic it should be used as a menu background IMO the old AVSIM logo does not look very nice superimposed on the header pic, make it transparent and it should look a lot better.

It is not a case of "value added" so much as a case of having to update the core forum software. The previous version is obsolete and shortly will be out of support. Since AVSIM pays for the support, there was really no choice in the matter.

Pity the old forum is gone. I really hate the new forums, and that's not a matter of getting used to, i know. But at least, thanks to your answer now we know there was no choice in the matter and we must try to live with it, or move to some other flightsimulator forum.

I think we have some how been taught to complain, yea the header graphic is overly large, but clearly, the update of the forum for security reasons also included change up of the old forums structure (not AVSIM's fault) they just have to change it more to how it used to be structured. From experience , it just takes a bit of time. Most everything can be changed and again it takes a little time.

Riddle:   How many Avsim readers does it take to change a light bulb?

 

 

Answer:  As of this moment... 60.  One to swap out the bulb and 59 to talk about how great the old bulb was :-)
