New WF Layout
I'm actually dissapointed with the new set up. Everything's so big and different. It'd be one thing if it was just different but the site is totally different than how it once was! I think its harder t use. And looking at it hurts my eyes... Oh well. I guess I have to get used tot he new change huh? I like the new features but why must it be so big, I'm not blind!

I think it's cluttered. Who's going to actually *use* all this stuff?!

To be honest I never really was a big fan of phpBB.

The aesthetics aren't really fundamentally different. It'll just take some getting used to. Pop over and post any suggestions in the temporary forum.

I use most of the new features made available. If you have ideas for the layout, feel free to bring it up with Chris. Is it font size you don't like?

Eh, this just takes a bit of adjusting. I was partial to the other program, but this has so many improvements. I can even add myself onto my buddy list.  Pointless, yes. Amusing, definitely.

There are minor differences. When I first came to this forum I had spent about half a year on a vBulletin forum, and some of the phpBB things really bugged me. Now I'm used to phpBB and it's going to take some time to get used to vBulletin again. But vBulletin is superior to phpBB—many more features. Chrispian has tons of features sitting around that haven't been implemented for whatever reason.
One thing I really love about vBulletin is the ability to attach files to your posts.

To be honest, it hasn't been up and running long enough for me to have an opinion. I assume I'll adjust and, as a moderator, there are more things I have to get used to.

Well, I think it's an improvement, looks crisp & new & even responds quicker to clicks.

I like it a lot. 
It's really not that big of a change. Just a few things here and there.
I liked the avatar's on top though. |

I prefer this version, only because I'm used to it from other forums I've been on and so therefore am used to it.
