Wow

New board huh! Am I the first to post :stuck_out_tongue: ?

Perhaps you are! Wow indeed!

Yay, Dope! I’ve been waiting for this thing to come back up.

Yep, and I’m the second. Tee hee!

Here’s hoping some new hardware was installed along with this new interface.

The usernames are huge. O_o And where’s the quick reply thing at the bottom? I miss it!

But the colors are pretty.

Well, feck! :stuck_out_tongue:

Interesting. Not sure I like it. I think I like the poster names better on teh side. But I’m cranky like that.

I’m wondering if this is just temporary. There is no Straight Dope Logo at the top. I will miss that if this is permanent.

The posts look like they’re in seperate sections, and the smilies are different. :cool:

If this is permanent, is there a way to change how it displays on my computer so it’s wider? At 1152x864, the board is only about half the width of the screen, centered. A lot of wasted space.

It all seems very strange to me. And these smilies look sick.

I think it looks pretty darn snazzy. :slight_smile:

These “new” smileys sure are anaemic :frowning:

Hey, do we get to use different fonts now?

Hey, hey, hey! Lookee this!

And we gots changes to the smilies! :stuck_out_tongue: and :rolleyes: – aw, I kinda liked them better when they were green. But I see we have degrees of rage now – frown: :frowning: and really pissed: :mad:

Okay, let’s send this sucker off and see how it looks.

It’s different! I don’t like it! I fear change!

ACK! ACK!
I hate it.
Its like coming home to find your wife with a totally different face! :frowning:

It doesnt look good in Firebird - the reply screen is all messed up, half the smilies are cut off, and the text sort of hangs off the left side of this box as I’m typing it. Please please PLEASE see if it can revert back to the old style - that worked so well!

I’m withholding my opinion until the administration finishes making all their tweaks, but so far, I’m leaning towards “not thrilled”.

Is it just me, or is this layout really, really hard to read? I’m getting a heck of a headache.

That being said, I don’t think it’s permanent…I have more faith in the SDMB staff than that. But, hey, I could be wrong.
