not crazy about what's been done here - likes & dislikes

[JIO]

- like the smaller fogged repeats that don't fill the page (large only when clicked)

- like the thread start avatar for OP's w/small avatar (of me) when subbed (easy to spot)

- do not like how "open" it is in general - too much white space

- where is the "personal message" access?

- like "like" for comment so you don't have to repost (unless you want to add content)

- I find it interesting that the (mostly new) positive icons are the fewest, neutral the most, and negatives twice that of positives. Do not like any of them.

- wasn't pleasently surprised when I opened the site up this morning.

PMs are now called "conversations."

I'm getting used to the new format - life is change and there are a lot of improvements - good work tb

So you send a PM by clicking start conversation, so I typed one out and there is no send button?

The button you're looking for also says "start a conversation", it's at the bottom of the text editor box.

Thanks, got it.

Thats just kind of strange to me, you click there name to start a conversation then you type it all out and push start conversation to send it............I wish it just said send but hey I am grumpy today.

Lots of the new nomenclature seems a little goofy to me, but my old day job required migrating lots of kicking-and-screaming grumps (including myself there) to a new OS every couple of years, so I'm kind of indoctrinated into rolling with the punches.

Yeah I am getting it, it seems every thing is a little faster and in time maybe easier to use. It makes sense if its hard for people to use when they have been using the old format for some over 10 years, I had about 5 years into it if you count my lurker days so I mean its going to take a little time to be as familiar with it all. I was pessimistic day 1, classifieds got fixed and now day 3 I am optimistic its all going to be for the better.

Same here. I had a few hours of panic, but am now finding it much quicker with some great features. Watch + alerts works slick for subscription tracking and can allow you to keep your e-mail box clean of TB stuff if you so choose. Well done, I'd say!

These changes suck
