I find this BB hard to read

[DimPrawn]

The ezBoard BB was unreliable but easy to read.

This BB is just plain unpleasant to use. There are so many good, reliable, easy to use, easy to read BB it's almost as if EDS were involved in this one.

PLEASE CUK - DITCH THIS ABORTION AND GET A NICE EASY TO READ BB IN PLACE.

[WageSlave]

Why?

What is the rationale behind this change of BB anyway?

[DimPrawn]

She's gone



Back to the office friendly Prawn.


HEY CUK! WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO GET A DECENT BB? THIS PLACE IS GRIM.

Re: tart's handbag

Excellent.

Hey, no rollin' icon? That's like chopping off one of shaunbhoy's legs!

[wendigo100]

Oh dear: oh dear

The old CUK board was clear, simple, and bright.

This new one is too busy, wastes space, and dark.

The posts themselves are like footnotes as someone shows off how clever they are with web design.

I go on other boards that look a bit like this, and wish they were like the (old) CUK board. Somebody up there has obviously got it the wrong way around, is taking the p1ss, or is John Prescott.

KISS!

Now I have a problem with this. If Dim and the likes are going to use naked lady type avatars, then how the hell are people in the office going to be able to read the board?????????

Go to User CP, thread Display Options, and uncheck "Show avatars".

Ay curumba!

I must admit I've spent most of my time staring at DimPrawn's avatar this morning...

[vetran]

yep

its a nice forum but too much furniture.

Also is it possible to do away with the spacing (and silver box's) between posts? more wasted space

Yeah -- put some ads between posts: you will make a fortune

[insight14]

CUK in Classic Mode guys?

Some poor designer is now sobbing into his keyboard.

The useless gobshine.

[Not So Wise]

Problem is to much of the page is dedicated to "non post" text, when i first load a thread nearly 3/4 of the initial viewing area is not the actual thread

Also with the whole CUK navigation over there>>>>
And the massive amount given to poster information over there (plus the huge margin)<<<
it leaves very little room here in the center
One or the other has to go imo

My personal recomendation is an abriviated CUK navigation in wasted blue area above the board navigation.

Plus do we really need "Contractor UK Bulletin Board" and "Contractor UK Forums" on the breadcrumbs on top, seeing as they both go to pretty much same place? (plus taking it out of the silver box and making it plain text would give back a lot of space)

There's nowt wrong with this one

[AtW]

Agree -- there is too much of other stuff as well, the text field is like tiny on 18'' monitor. With all ezboard shortcomings it was easy to read messages.

Also, emoticons are just crap

[DimPrawn]

light blue text on a slightly lighter blue background.

Acres of blue/grey bits and bobs that distract the eye.

It's fecking horrible.

I don't think I'll be visiting CUK much.
