Well it looks pretty at first glance, but trying to fit the entire message into one page causes the text to be unreasonably small for these old fart eyes, and I submit that most of the members of Avsim are in the same age group and therefore in the same boat. Go back to the original email Design. Thanks,and have a wonderful day!

February 25, 20179 yr Eg : a topic has 35 pages and I am reading page 34. Someone writes that there is something important on page 19. On my Iphone I have to press Previous 15 times now... Where is a goto Page X button ? Edit : found it !

February 25, 20179 yr My overall opinion is that this new format lacks visual clarity when compared to the old one. Too many forums are starting to use this format, and it makes them feel sterile and difficult to navigate.

As the speed slows and slows it eventually begins to move backwards forcing the time around the users to also move backwards. You'll notice that there will be topics relating to previous simulators becoming more prominent. Forum users will actually begin to be nice to each other again. Your grey hair will turn back to it's original color. The aim is to minimize data usage during the day as in a few weeks time we will all be out of retirement and back in school and then too busy with homework to be able to go on. At this point the forum speed will return to normal.
February 25, 20179 yr I would love to know how I go to my 1st unread post in a thread instead always of starting at the very 1st post. Am i missing something or is this a feature that is still on the list to be reinstated. There are a lot of things I like about the new forum and I'm confident over time the sysadmins will get it to a level that we are happy with. Thanks for your efforts guys!

February 25, 20179 yr Commercial Member Any way to adjust colors. The white background is too white for my taste. Would like to tone it down. I can barely see the shading of white/gray between different threads. Would love to change the background color to a darker shade but I see no options for this.

February 25, 20179 yr I simply cannot tolerate to read the site now for more than 20 mins at a time now, I am finding the colour scheme really hard on these old eyes. Hopefully things will get better in time.
February 25, 20179 yr Header/banner image takes up way too much real estate, and I sorely miss the "recent posts" box on the left, which highlighted threads I have participated in. Otherwise It's fine with me. Again, I know the banner image is cool to look at, but it hinders functionality. We are here to research and communicate. The banner is just in the way. Eye candy not necessary, but I understand it seems important when upgrading your website. Cheers. Aaron Aaron Thacker
