As Jeff stated, he's still working on the new look.I'm sure he's still experimenting to get an idea of what the members think, and which will suit the look of sSnakeSs.com the best..and work to the best of his ability to try and make it work best for everyone.

We're all entitled to opinion..and opinions give out ideas..and the ideas will be thought about..and incorperated into the new design as much as possible. New software, im sure it takes some time to learn new tricks.

I don't like this new thing either. I agree with invictus, that the centered text is hard to read, most people read from left to right, not center, so my eyes automaticly go to the left...not the center......

ahh well, it's not like we have much say over it.

Rep power will be turned off. Ive seen a few people complain about centered text but it doesnt show this way on any of my computers. I called a few people and had them check and its not centered for them either. Im working hard to get the front page back to normal right now.

Well, it seems the MAJORITY of the users hate the new look. The centered text is in all PMs, the main page that lists new threads, and the individual forums listing threads under MSIE 6.0 on Windows XP. I just launched it under Netscape, and the text isn't centered. This by itself shows a pretty big compatibility issue.

Perhaps you should have consulted a professional web designer, someone who actually knows what they are doing, and what looks good and what doesn't?

It's more like "the majority of the users who replied to this post hate the new look". Forty odd replies out of 8,000+ members is not the majority, and some of those 40 like the new look.

And do you know for a fact that the current admin isn't capable of doing the job? Would you say that any colour scheme a 'real' professional picks will pass muster with all the members? Even the forums that do allow users to pick a colour scheme only have a few choices. I can't think of one that lets the users customize it completely in every way, so it's a good bet there are some unhappy members looking at a colour scheme they don't like. That's life fer ya..... can't have it all served up to your liking.

The software was upgraded just a few days ago, wouldn't it stand to reason that it will take a few more days to get the bugs out? Let's just cool our heels a bit until the changes are declared final, finished, done, over and out. Wait and see what the finished product looks like and how it performs before judging too harshly.

K1l0s, they may pay for the website and stuff like that, but if all us members went away, they would have nothing. sooooo in a long about way, it is EVERYONES website.

Maybe a poll should be posted with pics of the old website and new website so ALL USERS can vote, and the majorty vote wins.

I still don't like the new site though.

Well Im glad everyone likes the new layout so much.

Fact is there are bugs, we are utilizing a new system for the front page and I am not used to working with it so things are a little odd for now. Everythings almost done now except for the front page and a few clicks of a mouse here and there. Ive been working almost non stop on this. To all those that like the layout, there will be cooler things to come
