Has anyone tried to get here from the main page? It's pretty messed up. I tried just coming from the blog and it sent me here: http://nikonrumors.com/new-nr-forum
I'm hoping the new layout's pretty good. Any idea when it will be up, admin?

I am still fixing few small things - it should be working now. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Don't know what is new here besides me. :P
Admin, would it be possible to put the link for LATEST DISCUSSIONS someplace up top? It is a pain in the arsk to always scroll to the bottom to refresh this list.
Most boards have some form of "subscribe" process that allows me (user) to see what has been posted since my last visit. Besides the LATEST DISCUSSIONS link...is there another way?
thnx

You'll get use to it 5stringz. Besides this way you actually know what each thread is SUPPOSE to be about. Members tend to get waaaay off topic so the replies often have nothing to do with the original post.

That's NORMAL - and by the way, IMHO, healthy for the growth of the community. It isn't though, an excuse for providing simple contemporary board tools to help the viewer sort out what has read and what hasn't. That is standard now days.
Bottom line, if the LATEST DISCUSSIONS link is the method this board prefers to use, then that is fine with me. Just locate it in a more convenient place. PLEASE :-)

But 5stringz, isn't latest discussions what shows up by default for you? I've never clicked the latest discussions link.

As I look closer, the "standard view" you land on is labeled at the top LATEST DISCUSSIONS and includes the sticky posts. If you glance at the "time" column, it displays times from all over the place. This confused me. Then, if you do click the LATEST DISCUSSION link found near the bottom of the page, you will get a much clearer view of what is "new". It would be my preference to use most of the time.
I have been using multiple tabs in FF to navigate relatively painlessly. There has to be an easier way tho. ;-)
Again, most boards understand that users come and go. They provide an easy method of tracking what you have read. Maybe that is here and I haven't found it yet. Still getting acclimated. :-)

I've never seen a forum with a black background and yellow font either but that's what makes this forum unique. And besides this forum is run by us on a "part-time" basis so it is what it is. We can't hold your hand and do everything for you.

I can see how the sticky posts could make it confusing. I hope the default makes more sense now, 5s.

Admin likes the forum just the way it is and it is his house so...

I don't want to come off as disrespectful towards admin or anything but I just have a little suggestion about the forum:
[NR] admin, is it possible to consider changing the theme into something with light background and black font? I do agree that the general forum theme of black background and yellow font is very unique and even pretty however when it comes to the threads themselves, it's a little hard on the eyes to read especially with paragraphs consisting of more than a two or three lines. I've also noticed that some members have gotten into the habit of writing there posts as one sentence per paragraph so as not to make everything feels like it's running into each other.
Are there any other forum members that feel the same way I do?

I actually find the white on black easier on the eyes than most blogs vice versa. Grey on white could be nice possibly...

I feel like it's okay- if it's a problem, just hit ctrl + or command +, it'll make the font larger.

well, maybe it is because Nikon is yellow on black
check your Nikon camera strap, if you have one.
yes I space out my sentences, I think it is eaiser to read.

@casper, thanks but I actually already figured that, although the actual logo is black on yellow background so maybe.... just saying.
@NSX, thanks for the tip. It's useful but I kinda have this... err.. preconception that that's what "old" people do and I'm not that old so... '^_^
Ok, well it looks like I'm pretty much the only one that feels that way so don't mind me then.

There was a forum vote on changing the color scheme and the response from almost everyone was keep it as is.

Thanks jonny and Niko. I'm not sure why but I seem to be the only one (maybe casper too) who has a hard time reading white on black background. Oh well, I will learn to live with it.

I keep increasing font as I read a lot of text on computers. It cuts down on eye strain. Why should reading on a computer be difficult?
And to comfort you, I'm 21, but I'm also reading on a 13 inch laptop most of the time. If I need to squint or reposition my reading position, I'm making the font larger to make my life easy.
If you're using Firefox, get NoSquint, it remembers all your text zoom positions.

Speaking of a new layout, I'm loving this "randomly go back in time 14 hours bit"! ;)
I'll take this as proof the CERN neutrino experiment allows time travel!
Best of luck with the dual-server w/load balancing migration issues. Losing half a day of posts ain't no big thing.
