New Layout---I'm going to disappear!

rel1988

Is anyone else having this problem?? On any of the new layout boards I can't comment, post, anything! I get redirected to a login menu, even though I'm already logged in, and once I re-enter my password I get directed to a blank screen that just says loading and doesn't do anything else.

It's getting limited to what I can write on now...in a couple days once they finish converting I won't be able to comment on anything anymore!

I see a mass exodus coming with this new layout.

The last time TK switched layouts, we lost tons of posters.  My screen name didn't work for MONTHS because some glitch made the new format hate the ampersand.

Ugh this is so frustrating!! It reminds me of this awful B-list movie I saw where the main character went under aesthesia...he couldn't move or communicate but he could hear and feel everything,.

I will be able to read everything but won't be able to communicate. Boo.

I haven't tried to post anything on those boards yet.  The white pages makes my eyes hurt so bad I just run away.

Yeah, I do not get the whole mass exdous over a format change.   I hate to see how some people handle important changes in their everyday life after the reaction to a format change on a message board.

I still say the all white pages are too harsh on the eyes.  They need some contrasting colors.

I just hate all of the white. It seriously hurts the eyes. I haven't tried posting on the new layout pages yet.

I guess the only thing to do is regularly check back and see if I can post..maybe there is a mass exodous because people can't post vs just not liking the new format?

I'll get over the new layout but I have the same problem at you rel it asks me to log in again and I can't sign in.  So until that glitch is fixed I'll be limited to posting, which sucks it so slow here at work today.....

AddieCake

Yeah, the white is my biggest complaint.

I can post on the Food and cakes board.  I like the love option.   

I do not like that it just told me I have 10000 comments.  It's more like 29000.   I want credit for my other comments.

First, I absolutely love Linger's double thumbs up--

If you look at the page where you are now on a board that hasn't changed--there is also a lot of white at the sides...at the beginning of the page there's other stuff filling the space, but down lower there's nothing and there hasn't been.  I think they're probably trying to get it working before getting it beautiful.

Just so y'all know, I got a notification that I got a badge for 5,000 posts. I shall wear it proudly. It isn't sad at all that I have only been posting here like 6 months.

On this board the thread headline are  green.  The background around the reply to a post is green.  The menu on the left to click on another board is blue.  The right side most active window is green.  There are a lot of other colors surrounding that it's not as harsh.   On the new boards is all WHITE.

[QUOTE]This is my 4th or 5th layout change here. It's always the end of the monkeyfucking world. And then it isn't. It will take about a week for them to work out the glitches. Those who can't hang will leave. The rest of us will piss and moan. In the end, we'll lose some features we like, get some new ones we like, and get used to it. Seriously guys, it isn't an event horizon, it's a new board format. Pop a Valium or something.

Yep, ditto.  I'm just thrilled that I didn't lose all my posts this time.  During the Mass Exodus of 2009 or 2010 when we had the "big change over" I lost all 8000+ posts.  It was a personal catastrophy.

Hey guys. Don't worry - this is something that is being address this morning - you will all be fine. May 16 is the day the last boards will switch over and the little in-between glitches will be gone. You are not going to disappear!

ps - working on the white

It's sad.     I didn't start posting right away and I post less per year than Addie did in 6 months so I think it's okay.

Besides if us old people leave who will be the voice of reason?

Thanks for the Update!! That's good to hear

You get any fat comments Stage, let me know.  There's a cure for those giving such comments!!

[QUOTE]I have all sorts of badges, including a "combo breaker" badge (wtf that is?) for apparently earning 5 badges in one day.   I do hate that my sig is the old one with the ticker on the converted boards.  I assume that will be fixed, and until them, I will just have to deal with fat comments.
Posted by StageManager14[/QUOTE]

I do kind of miss the ticker I did for you 25 pounds down, 300 to go! lol.

Peledreamsofrain

Actually, something tells we'll miss th white space when all the adds get crammed in as one of the finishing touches. I am just hoping we don't get any more TK TV, or mothership ads that invade and abduct my good mood for experiments.

This is what I do. I do hope they chage the white though.

Edit: Looks like they are! Thanks.
