The navigation systems will need time to get used to, all and all it's not as bad as most are making it out to be.

It's very different.. need to get used to it definitely.
I miss the status updates for sure, and the rest that was on the right, new posts,topics etc.
It just looks a little dull atm haha :p

As others have said, it will definately take some getting used to, but it will work properly which is the most important thing :D

There are a few things that seem missing though, but I assume it will take a little while to get things set up how its wanted.

Choco is right, remember not everything is fully moved to forums yet and the skins we voted on have not been implemented yet, be patient.

I liked the old forums better. This is a bit too... uh.. Bluish Silvery...
Anyway, I thought the original question was a color on black, not a color on blue.
Oh well. Guess I just have to adjust to this. :p

Yeah, it would be great to have the old forums back... But I can live with this one, even though it will take some time.

On that note, we're willing for you to beg us to add some additional mods if you really really want us to - http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/i ... ersions=65

Alright, here are my suggestions along with my logical reasoning behind them.

Mods that would restore functionality lost between boards:

Display user's current page location on their profile: http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/i ... p?mod=2593
The old forums did this and it was always interesting to watch where my friends were.

Spoiler Tag: http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/i ... p?mod=3178
The old forums had this also. It came in handy when writing extremely large posts, so the viewer could minimize and maxamize parts.
Many of the contest threads used this.

Buddies displayed on profile: http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/i ... p?mod=3068
Again, the old forums did this, and it would be missed...

Usernotes textbox on profile: http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=788
This could easily replace the about me field that did not carry over between boards.

Shoutbox: http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/i ... p?mod=2846
We lost our little shoutbox on the side of the index page. :(

RSS feed icon: http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=376
The previous board had an RSS icon at the top of every page.
Those came in handy for me as I use RSS; not sure how many other people used it.

Simple audio & video embeder: http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/i ... p?mod=2681
It would be nice to embed youtube videos in posts again.

----------------

Just some other mods I thought looked neat:

Display tweets on forums index: http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/i ... p?mod=2895
We all know that PWO has a twitter account. It would be much easier to pay atention to if it got some atention on the forums index.

Change the color of your profile: http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/i ... p?mod=2848
~shrugs~ It just looks fun.

----------------

Also, can we get a new custom profile field to place our skype account in? The old board let us list our skype account.

----------------

Please and thank you for reading my suggestions.

Forums will be temporary down for maintenance from 12.30pm (GMT) while we add a little something.  Hopefully shouldn't be too long.

This.... is a little weird not gonna lie. I logged into Domani and was like "noooooooo". then checked this acc. Didn't expect my staff acc to be on this one on the forums.
I don't like the color scheme but it's whatever to me. Just seems a little bright right now.

Glad it's up and running tho,  haven't gone to the main site yet to see how it looks (I type in 'P' and the forums is the 1st to come up  ;D)
