Ok, so I just wanted to try out the poll feature on the new format. What better way than to ask about the hottest take since P vs J?

Poll: The new TB. What do you think?
- Thread starter tb-player
- Start date
Format of the new site is very similar to other forums I visit. It’ll take a little time to get the bugs worked out but once they do, I’m sure it will be great.
It seems more difficult to navigate.
Change can be difficult. But the future looks bright!
As long as the functionality is the same or better, it doesn't bug me with social media type types of messages (badges, rewards, look what everyone else is saying, etc...) and it is somewhat intuitive, it should be okay.
I am getting older and I often see software (or other things) updates where they just move things around to say it's "updated" or "improved" and I am of the opinion of "if it's already good, leave good alone" (i.e. if it ain't broke, don't fix it). If they've made things difficult enough that I can't figure it out and have to ask or look it up, it's a failure.

Desktop version is fine - great probably when I get used to it.
The mobile version - I'm still not a fan. Too much wasted space for my liking - which I don't really understand.

It's funny to see that we have:
- A majority of negative threads,
- A majority of positive opinion in this poll
Either the haters haven't seen this poll (because there're already gone?
)
Or maybe because haters love to hate loud, while lovers are too shy to congratulate the team (I did, but I'm biased because I work in web design industry so I feel a lot of ampathy for the developers who probably worked super hard, and then received only hateful comments)

It'll get better. It was a mess when it first happened and it's already hugely improved from what it was. In a week or two it'll be just as good as the old one, albeit a little different.
I agree that the mobile version has a lot more room to improve, but I have faith in that too.

Thanks goodness my one accidental violation from 10 years ago has been preserved.
I feel like general reaction was the same as when the last version launched. Then after a while everyone and everything was better.
What I'm not surprised is the dramatic reactions from a bunch. The horror.

Yes, they should feel ashamed of this complete lack of gratitude.
It's a free service! How dare they be so dramatic and agressive as if someone stole their money?
it's great now, it'll get even better when:
- i learn to use some of the upgraded features.
- when the whiners are finished/gone.
- every member has at least one fretless!

I’m so mad I refuse to comment in this thread. Grrrr
It needed to happen, the old version was starting to have security issues... our security. We'll all get used to it, plus once you get past the unfamiliarness there are a bunch of improvements so everybody relax!
Yesterday was a mess, but the team has already improved the response time. At one point, I attempted to scroll up and "upvoted" something. I don't even know what that is and don't particularly care. Hopefully the team will achieve their goals of increased security and ease of use. Yesterday also showed how many react poorly to change. I'm going to maintain my peace and wait to see how everything works out.
Didn't you bother to try it out when you were testing the beta version for a month?
I already said it, so pardon me for repeating: the voting system is the best new feature.
In the middile of a 200 pages thread, when you see Agedhorse brings the light, please vote for his comment.
Later, when somebody else wants to read the thread, he/she can sort by votes, and Agedhorse's comment will show up first, bringing the best answer on top of the 200 pages of useless comments.
