[News] Changing the gaming forums

I still think it would be much more convenient and less troublesome to leave the forums seperated, but apparently few people agree with that sentiment. At least not anyone willing to be vocal about it since I've talked to several members who agreed, but would never post during previous debates. Considering how things turned out with Guru, I can't say that I blame them.

I'm fine with this new setup as long as Blah codes those tags at the top that sort by console and such. Keeping the RPG forum around would also be great, of course.

So far this new setup is just as bad as I figured it would be. I know it's still being worked on and such, but why didn't we wait to combine them until we actually had icons and filters ready? Everything is too cluttered at the moment.

As an actual issue though, there's something screwy with the text tags (PC, Help, News, Attention, etc.) in IE. They show up fine in Firefox, but in IE they're all just blank rectangles like they're images that refused to load.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

No no, that's not what I mean about the filters not being ready. Originally I thought it was planned to have the filter tags up at the top to easily click on too, or a way to set custom filters.

IE does suck, but I hate dealing with Firefox.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

However I don't think that the redesign was meant for simplicity as much as it is for getting more people to see & participate in more discussions.

Well, I think the filter is going to be at the top. If they put it at the bottom that would be needlessly awkward and annoying. Once that's finished then this setup won't be too bad, but still more complicated than the previous one. Guru's right; the participation excuse is complete bullshit, so don't bother using that again.

The best part about this thread is watching everyone flame Guru just for disagreeing with the new setup. Look at the unity this layout has already created!

Maybe you guys just know better than to waste your time, which I can't really blame you for. See, now people are telling me I'm like Cain. And I shall revel in my infamy...

Pretty much, yeah. Nothing would've come from posting in the middle of all that, so why bother?

Besides, I've already expressed my dislike of the new system in this thread and other places before it. I know several people who felt the same way, but didn't bother saying anything in the threads because of all the flaming and such against anyone who doesn't think this change is the greatest thing ever.

How ya doing, buddy?

Maybe a checkbox for whether you want a link to the GFWiki Friend Code page in your profile? I wouldn't mind having a fast link like that anyway.

All the new icons are showing up fine for me, but the text labels are still broken in IE-6.
