I also don't like that friends are replaced by followers, nor do I like circular avatars but whatever. ..Doesn't this take away the big avatar feature for subscribers? The menu looks decent now. I wish I could have my "about me" or friends list above the warning point window, it's ugly and too big. Guess I'll have to get used to this.. (jokuc doesn't like change) I agree to every single little detail you mentioned. And I will add an even greater dislike: Why does it default to Activity rather than About Me when visiting profiles? Profiles have always had the About Me focused on. I really think those two tabs should be switched such that it defaults to the About Me. Furthermore, it would seem as though we no longer have the ability to place our own backgrounds on our profiles - I would love to be proven wrong about that, of course. 2 ~ Rise And Rise Again, Until Lambs Become Lions ~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only reason why we're two years late is due to the sheer number of customisations we've made, and lack of time to migrate a forum of this size. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flutter's lover <3 8,206 March 27, 2017 Share March 27, 2017 The forum looks totally different, yet at the same time the same. Liking a few of the new features this update has brought as well.

Scrubbed user 3,416 March 27, 2017 Share March 27, 2017 Looks like some of us will have to adapt our avatars since they're round now. (Thankfully I won't.) It also looks it'll be a lot easier to post on mobile in general since the buttons on top are actually there now, and posting images, video, and text formatting will no longer be a pain in the ass on mobile either! I don't have anything else right now, so here is a GIF: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colt 45 148 March 27, 2017 Share March 27, 2017 It may take some getting used to, but I like it. The only thing that I don't like is the most recent topic replies is now limited to 5 and I used to browse topics using that list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miles 2,512 March 27, 2017 Share March 27, 2017 I just realized another thing... There used be the ability to view new status updates from all users. The new activity stream shows new replies, follows, brohoofs, statuses, and posts. Is there no way to only view new status updates like we used to be able to? ~ Rise And Rise Again, Until Lambs Become Lions ~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dreambiscuit 9,963 March 27, 2017 Share March 27, 2017 I hate to throw a wet blanket on things, but choosing cover over content and basic functions is a monumental step backward. I don't care how pretty the new graphics are if I can't find anything anymore. This is the whole reason I left another, previous Pony forum. Not happy. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prospekt 11,018 March 27, 2017 Share March 27, 2017 1 hour ago, Prospekt said: It's really not bad apart from the sudden lack of signatures and the profile pages. Apparently I lost my gender xD and my About Me section is invisible unless I try to edit it (in which case most of what I had on there before shows up). The layout is different but I'm certainly not lost. And status updates are better now, given that you can post and interact with them more like normal thread posts. Well, I'm trying the desktop site and it's a bit better. My signature wasn't erased after all. Yay Signature by Kyoshi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is two steps... which is not that bad, and it gives you a lot more control about what you do and do not want to see... the major problem is it does not let you do any sort of saving to the settings and you have to redo it each and every time, thus in that regard it most definitely creates a lot more steps. I also am not a fan of the round spotlights being placed over our avatars, since it removes a lot of detail in some of them and creates some unwanted cropping on many. Also it seems to have a lot more white than before, and is a bit more eye straining. Most everything else I can get used to. 2 ~No profound statement needed~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should be able to create your own activity stream, avatars are in review because in their current state they violate a subscriber benefit so there may be a return to squares 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The old design was much sharper, literally. The new design feels too soft, rounded, and light.
