What do you guys think? If you are having any problems let me know. I have to put the banners back on as well. Try out the new mobile version if that applies to you, works great in the iPhone.

I can already see this as something that has to get used to.

Well, this is different. Very different. It's gonna be difficult getting used to seeing this forum like this, but I'll give it a chance.

This is going to take quite a bit of getting used to, I agree. I don't love it to be honest, but maybe it'll grow on me. Who knows. @_@

Yeah, it's nice. Change is always kinda a hard thing for me, but I can get used to this. I think you will be putting it back, but I would like to see the 101 pic with Pongo and Perdy back on the upper left. I'm good with it, I think.

This is going to take quite a bit of getting used to, I agree. I don't love it to be honest, but maybe it'll grow on me. Who knows. @_@ It will be, especially since in the most recent posts area all our replies are clustered together as if we're all talking in the same thread. Though for me.. honestly it is a literal eye-sore. Yes I do mean that as in my eyes were physically hurting from looking at it. So... idk if I can stay here.. =/ because besides this, I haven't really felt a need or desire to come here prior to the update.

I see that the app for Proboards hasn't been effected by this at all, but I did check the board itself, and it definitely has changed. However, seeing that Trey is having problems logging in has me a bit worried.

Yeah, this does make things feel cluttered. If experiance has taught me anything, when sites update, it only makes things more complicated.
Also, why do our PM's need to be a Thread of their own!?
We don't need to "Related Threads" or "Other News Stories from Around the World" box or the Shout Box either.
How do I link to a certain post? (E.G. Not giving me the address of the link but actually taking me to said post!)
Is there methods to make it look like it's old form?

I'm afraid not. This is the permanent new look for Sparky's. Like Sparky said himself once the forum has been upgraded, there's no turning back, no ways to revert back.

Has anyone else noticed their PM's being a bit cluttered?

Another thing I noticed is how glitchy this board is.
- Avatars are turning off and on all the time. - Topics that have recently been posted keep disappearing from my list. - A PM I recently sent appeared in my inbox for some reason. - One of my posts says that I'm offline, while the rest say I'm online.
Needless to say, I don't like this upgrade.

Another problem, we can't just click "Reply" Now. We have to click "Quote" and then erase the message, if we want to reply in a Thread.
PM's are clutter since they've made every PM it's own thread now, and we can't just click on a "Send me to that certain" post, unless they give us a link or we have to make our way through the thread to find it. =s It's getting impossible to navigate, whilst with V4 it clearly showed you what the heck you could do!
Also, we're forbidden from sending an PM with no Subject name now and I am starting to see what Chels means with it hurting the eyes! I Am LITERALLY getting a Head Ache!
Also, why can't our Replies be entered in a White Box instead of this Black or White text?
Can the Shout Box be an Optional case along with the Pointless "What's going on in the News"? Also, I shouldn't have to click Visual.
I would also like to be able to see who has been online in the previous 24 Hours.
Whoever designed this new layout must have been a Forth Grader! Who else would think "Cluttered = Useable", What's the point of having Beta Testers if you're going to ignore the problems they state?
Why, whenever Computer Companies or Websites update their look, they make it impossible for others to use? Whose for going back to V4 or getting an Plug-In that works like that!?

To all you guys who have smart phones, I recommend getting the Proboards app. It hasn't been effected too much since this upgrade, but there are still some glitches here and there. A couple other things I noticed:
- In topics with new posts, you can no longer preview what was typed into it. - I'm no longer getting email notifications when I receive a PM. - I keep getting told that I have a new message in my inbox, but I obviously don't (I checked and refreshed it numerous times)!
