IE 7 and IE 8 has a bunch of problems related to the buttons that will be fixed soon.

Actually, this design has less white on it than sites like Facebook, Google, and Flickr.

Remember for a better performing look and feel please use a good standard compliant browser, ideally Chrome 15, FF 7, Internet Explorer 9. The website is aimed at standard compliant browsers.

I will fix it to work in Internet Explorer 8 and Internet Explorer 7 but they (1) wont have all the exact same look (eg text shadowing wont work) and (2) download extra files to get the pages to function (so they are slower).

My eyes are hurting and ive only been on it for 10 seconds...

On Snooker I have heard very little negativity. On this forum I have read the views of very few members not liking it.

So how can you say the views of this little 'minority' is in fact the majority vote? Lol.

Some faults have already been edited and you have to realise everything like this needs time to progress.

You dont honestly believe that the popularity of this site will suffer if the layout is not changed back? Thats just silly.

im getting used to the color but still no smileys when posting. and im using internet explorer 9 i think.. Maybe they are working lol, they're just not illustrated in the boxes above

Maybe over on snooker theres not that many faults going on

But on here ive already spotted about 4 that still haven't been sorted out

Either way like i said paying members should have the right to decide what there paying for, if the new layout is hurting there eyes then so be it

Im not asking for the layout to go if you read my earlier posts im giving it a chance, but there should be an option were you can decide what layout you want.

I understand the site has to move with the times, it doesnt stop the gameplay! And only affects the forum pages. I suggest we ALL give it time and maybe there will be no more "I was playing in a tourny! And I got kicked out postings?" Give it time!? Wish I could look into the future and come back here in 3 months and see the posts? Lol, times change! Things change! And we all need to give it a go?
Time out

And now theres no need for me to complain about the new layout

I was on internet explorer and alot of problems were showing but i switched to google chrome and the smileys are back

Its bloody ugly

i want the old site back :-(((

you could also write them as follows (all in square brackets):

B Bold
I Italic

you get the rest

I didnt have smileys, buttons etc but you just click on the page compatibility button at top of IE and they are fine.

I like the changes anyway!!

Hes right i can use IE now

Thanks Chris

All reported problems should be fixed now.

I also took the opportunity to tidy up the layout of the online friend list for premium users.

Any problems please let me know.

Logged back in after the restart and the smiley buttons had fixed theirself.

By the way, someone tell me what means. Of course it's an 8ball but what meaning would you use it for?

What the.....

Ok now please bring back the original old school black scheme layout!

Last night and now today when i browse the forums it's incredibly laggy

My Internet crashed as i posted the one above

Lol pointless posting that cause it clearly isn't going to happen, Nick has obviously worked hard on this layout and has probably been working on it for a while so he isn't just going to change it back cause a few people don't like it.

It's always the same with new changes, people moan like hell at first but once they get used to it things soon change, doesn't matter what you do there will always be someone not happy lol.

Keep up the good work Nick!

Thank you, no problems

When you crawl out of nicks rear end, please read the first 2 pages. Not like i am the only one saying the colour scheme is awful.

I think most people won't expect it to be changed, it's just an opinion that it isn't a good layout scheme.

I can't stand this colour scheme. Nick can you change it back? Old one was good :)
