Yup, pretty cool. Hopefully it proves to run faster too (assuming they did something beyond cosmetic...)

It will still take a bit to iron out all the small issues and improve on the look, but there are lots of new useful features, as I am sure you will find. We should also have a list of what's new up soon.

Wow, vBulletin.. awesome, this is one of the better board softwares out there in my opinion. I'm glad to see this.

This was kind of a surprise, for a moment I didn't know where I was!?
But it looks good and somewhat familiar as it's the same layout as many other forums I attend.
Keep it up guys!

No way. I'm totally bumming on it. I only just got used to the last update. I'll probably like it fine when I get used to it (six months?), but until then AF looks wierd and all is not right in my world.
Course, if performance is improved, it may be worth it....

I can't figure out the search. It searches all forums, not just this one.

Well done to Igor and the team at AF.
Matches other sites i visit and makes it easy to find my way around.

Looks more like my Suby forum now. I like this better, just have to get used to the color chages. Nice job admins!

Well this is the basic VBulleting look. so I guess it's just because they didn't had time to change it yet.
Also, they have many image not working (forum wise) that need to be updated.
The "new" look is very generic imo. It look like someone that installed the forum but didn't configured it.

I like the change too, well done Igor. Already discovered a few very nice new features. I wonder if there will be further tweaks?

I can't figure out the search either. It used to work great, now it takes you somewhere that seems to be out of the site, linked back to AF, and when you click it it's just a list of all the threads ever, not just the ones with "Testors Metalizer" in them.
We won't be able to tell the newbies to "run a search" anymore :iceslolan

yeah im not to hot on this,didnt mind the last change but this looks like a gaming forum. its got no soul. theres no jumpback link at the bottom of the page, that sucks. so now when i read a thread i have to scroll back to the top of the page to get back to the forum list. and the search sucks.... sorry not a big fan of change, ive had enough in the past year.

Well, I'm an old, conservative fart so I abhor ALL change by definition :) but I've got to say that, so far, I don't get it.
Looks bland, the columns are requently different widths on my screen which makes it hard to read and it downloads like c**p on my GSM phone which I use a LOT :)
I'm sure that there were good reasons for the change, though and that any bugs will be ironed out soon.
(PS Isn't it easy to dump on other people's hard work :) )

This is a real pain :frown: - hopefully it's something that can be added.
Haven't tried the new search feature yet that some people don't like, but generally I like the new look. Looks more 'standard' to other forums out there.:)

No, still not impressed. I don't like that you can't seem to do a forum specific search (well, except it might be nice not to have "Use the search funcion, newbie!" rants). I don't like that you can't post a description when posting links. I don't like that when inserting pics, the pic instantly appears in the post, instead of the address. And performance today has been abysmal!
I'm willing to accept that things are still being worked on and worked out, and I'll be as patient as I can- but it's always frustrating when an 'upgrade' leaves you with less than you had before.

The look is ok. The pages load so slow now I've pretty much given up looking around here. Too bad the builds are always awesome.

Looks like it is much better now. Thanks Igor. Just zipped through several threads with no problems. :)

Yeah it kinda comes and goes. sometimes it runs faster than it ever did... sometimes it takes minutes just to get on or go to a new thread. this has always been a problem for me and im on cable but it seems the extremes are much more spread out, super fast or super slow... no middle ground. oh well, there are some new features im taking a liking to now though, and thanks for the jumpbacks! that was maddening not have them.
