Liked the old colors better, but do like the more minimalist feel.preface: this threads purpose is not to show any disrespect or any hint of ingratitude towards jason and whomever else brought back the sound opinions message board we call somb.

Haven't found a spell check yet, but I'm sure that will come eventually.
Don't like how you have to scroll down in a normal reply to hit the 'Add Reply' button
But the board needed to be dumped, and I think this version is definately nice. Plus I'm sure there are a bunch of tweeks and touch ups that we haven't even found yet.

It was that way on the old board too (using Netscape). The colors remind me of my SF Giants, so it's all good.Don't like how you have to scroll down in a normal reply to hit the 'Add Reply' button

it's still an invision power board, jason probably just hadn't had the chance to do everything he did to modify the old board. let's give him some time. obviously it's not as easy on the eyes yet. i do prefer gray to blue though.

my wish for this board, and perhaps a new rule (a la bill maher's new rules) is to be rid of the threads devoted to one person. not birthday threads, but, like "hey dr. bill there's some gay tv show you might like on channel 21 right now" or "i just left you a voicemail, simakos OWL".

I much prefer the banishment of the icky blue board colors... I likes the orange... it feels... fresh... like the new board. Kudos to Jason.

So what SOMB vers. is this now? 4-5?
It would be nice to have some variation of color between each post. They kind of meld together. The current color layout is still better than the old orange eyesore.

This new board will take some time to get used to, but I think in the end, I will grow to like it.
I just miss my Hewletts Daughter name. Seeing "Derek" show up is wacky to me. Wish I didn't fuck up entering my information.

there's apparently some way to change your member name, or there will be. if you go to someone's profile, it says "profile options" and then "member's display name history". i wish i knew how to change it, or if it'll ever be an option so i can go back to forgo for a week or two.This new board will take some time to get used to, but I think in the end, I will grow to like it.

This is how I got stuck with "ryan" when I first registered on the board! I was going to be something exotic like UltraCobraHypnoEyes, but I fucked up on the fields. Consistency can be important, so I've stuck with "ryan" through a couple of the board meltdowns now.Wish I didn't fuck up entering my information.
