Texas Teen Posted November 27, 2010 #1 Share Posted November 27, 2010 Just happened to look at the announcements area above the sticky threads yesterday (which I rarely do), and saw an announcement saying "New Version of the Forums: Coming Your Way & 'Happy Thanksgiving Note" !!! :eek: And she (LauraS) says the new forums are going to be like the Indepent Traveler forums! She also says they're coming "very soon", but doesn't give an exact date. LINK I just checked out the Independent Traveler forums, and prefer the design of these forums. Their forums look ugly & tacky to me! :( Oh well, I guess it's not too bad. (Although I'm not a member of their forums, so I'm not sure if & how posting is going to be different after the change.) I guess the upcoming forums will just take a little getting used to! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crusinmama06 Posted November 27, 2010 #2 Share Posted November 27, 2010 WOW I wish this was an April Fools and not a "Happy Thanksgiving" :eek: I have always liked the look of CC. I agree with you TT - it's like a step back on the tacky meter if that's the direction they are going in. :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruisinRoxy Posted November 27, 2010 #3 Share Posted November 27, 2010 Thanks for posting this. I just took a peek and find that type of board much harder to read, or maybe it's just I'm used to this type. I wonder why they're doing this? If it ain't broke, don't fix it, I always say. Do we as members have any say-so??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruising89143 Posted November 27, 2010 #4 Share Posted November 27, 2010 I checked them out and I don't like the looks of them? Why change it? The other site looks like a third grader designed it.:rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxesden1 Posted November 27, 2010 #5 Share Posted November 27, 2010 I checked them out and I don't like the looks of them? Why change it? The other site looks like a third grader designed it.:rolleyes: I also think that this form is very easy to read and use. I can only assume its because the other form is cheeper to run? Again, i have no idea, but I am not a fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CodyC815 Posted November 27, 2010 #7 Share Posted November 27, 2010 Agreed, that one just looks tacky. You should have made this a poll TT, so we could have a little vote on which we liked better :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iwanngonow Posted November 27, 2010 #8 Share Posted November 27, 2010 I really don't like the new version of the forums..It's terrible! I don't think I'd visit the site if it's in that format. Just my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morecruisesplz Posted November 27, 2010 #9 Share Posted November 27, 2010 Agreed, that one just looks tacky. You should have made this a poll TT, so we could have a little vote on which we liked better :o They obviously don't care what we like better. Decision has been made.

Retired LEO Posted November 27, 2010 #10 Share Posted November 27, 2010 Could they make it any worse? Somebody had nothing better to do than to mess with a good thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
will work to cruise Posted November 27, 2010 #11 Share Posted November 27, 2010 What a terrible set-up they have. Please don't change! :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silvery Seas Cruiser Posted November 27, 2010 #12 Share Posted November 27, 2010 Chiming in here too. I really don't care for the forum format at the other web site. :eek:I think it will be hard to follow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bionicman97 Posted November 27, 2010 #13 Share Posted November 27, 2010 Definitely looks like the site is stepping back in time. However, structurally, they aren't that different looking. The layout's of the individual posts are almost identical (Date/Time/Poster Name/etc). I hope they keep the same color combinations they use here, because the other site looks way too monochrome. Looks like it might be pretty limited in the signature area also. I'm guessing the switch has something to do with easier maintenance or using less bandwidth?

iwanngonow Posted November 27, 2010 #14 Share Posted November 27, 2010 Hello, Just emailed them and asked them to reconsider the change. I don't know if it will do any good but I tried. It would be a shame to go to another site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExploreroftheSeas92 Posted November 27, 2010 #15 Share Posted November 27, 2010 Please keep the boards the way they are. The other board looks confusing and hard to follow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SciFiCruiser Posted November 27, 2010 #19 Share Posted November 27, 2010 I guess I'll be the only voice non-agreement with the crowd. I checked out the other board and poked around a bit and thought it was fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
