Ok we're on the new refresh look and there's a lot of stuff to fix! List them!

[Pntbll687]

first of all, THIS IS AWESOME! I'm really liking the layout and new design

Any chance we can get it to when you click "view more" for more threads they can appear without having the page reload?

Also want to say I love the "trending" feature.. not sure if that's always been there. But what a great way to have a flurry of activity at any moment on any random thread. Love it. Spread the buzz!

Well, waking up tonight the site is improved. The separators work well, badges are better and the brightness seems dimmer. A lot of the little tweaks are helpful, so thanks!

I forgot the update was coming. Confused the tick out of me. Even Siri forgot my username and password.

@revhtree I love the new look and look forward to y'all getting it dialed in. Keep up the good work, I am happy to hear that the forum and community are moving forward, progressing and growing!

 

[Mjrenz]

This is going to take a lot of getting used to, I'm so confused

 

[Michael Naegeli]

Good luck with the new format. People hate change. There are going to be some crabby “old school” reefers out here groaning about new tech isn’t good and change is stupid.

Sooo. Haha

 

[Coastie Reefer]

banners look sharp but understand they take up space......Fruit Salad?

Uhhhh we call that chest candy!!!

 

[Snookin]

My goal now is to become a master of the new format so I can destroy the next @WWC live sale.

Just wanted to say I am having less site related issues since the roll out. A couple of iPhone issues, but on a desktop now, no issues at all in the past hour. It is so nice to again move through the site at the speed I need.

Honestly I’m enjoying the update works great on iOS I pad browser style no need to turn it that and big screen I don’t use my phone or app much. Im just extremely happy that you guys even spend the time to keep it refreshed and update. Any kinks you find I’m sure your work out thanks so much. #mods does anybody know how I get a banner for the reef club I’m in ... SPCDA ....SPOKANE COEUR D ALENE REEF SOCIETY spcdareefs.org

I've noticed this as well, right after the update I immediately noticed everything's MUCH faster than after the server switch. Definitely good to see

working well but still need to cut the glare

 

[Tamberav]

An option to hide banners on desktop would be nice...for those of us who like to declutter. In the settings or what not where I hide the signatures.

 

[Braves Fan]

And you’re a Braves fan like me!?!?

LOL I will have to see how it all pans out ,, right now I am not seeing the need for this new look ,, you had something that worked ,, everything was right there in front of me ,, user friendly ,, why mess up a good thing ,, seems ,, at least right now to me ,, everything is not right there in front of me ,, I have to go looking for things ,, I was just kidding about the Reef Central statement that will never happen ,,

 

[BestMomEver]

Thanks @revhtree ! I got my banners back and I know what they are! I’m happy now!!

 

[Rjukan]

All in all I like the new look. It's been pretty painless getting used to it.

I don't like that people's badges are hidden and you have to click a button to see them. Would be nice if they were always displayed like they used to be.

Thanks for all your hard work putting this together, I'm sure it wasn't easy.

Providing feedback is always hard because it can be translated by the reader as negative. On a simple note the site or forum is loud. It really screams at me at least compared to the other version. Personally speaking because it is such a large change I would have thrown up the site side by side and let people provide feedback first, implement what made sense, then migrate.

If that was done please excuse my ignorance since I didn't really see it. But the one key thing I can say is that trying to get to new posts, general threads, and weeding out the color and add bombs is making a stay difficult. And by stay I mean stay on the site finding articles to read due to the constant movement of adds.

Edit: I did find this gem, lots of good info that should help me Thanks @NY_Caveman

R2R Tips and Tricks

Here at R2R there are several website related questions that are asked repeatedly. We have all been there. It can be frustrating and even embarrassing for an otherwise intelligent person who cannot figure out how to use the site. For that reason, I offer some simple tips people can use to...

@revhtree do you have any plans to change/remove/alter the right hand side bar?
IMO it's distracting.
Maybe make it so it can be removed by the individual?

 

[BGrand]

Not complaining because I absolutely love this site.

Is it possible to put "SIZZLING SUMMER SALES" below "LATEST POSTS"? Hate scrolling through the ads to get to everyone's posts.

That is why I paid to become a R2R Supporter. Trying to avoid the ads. When I buy things I search for them on here.
