This forum makeover sucks.... i prefer the older one

I haven’t been here for a while, my first reaction to this forum makeover was, man this sucks… i prefer the older one, what do you think ?

is there any way to get back the old interface ?.

Okay, and what was exactly better than now? And I do prefer the new one…

Edit: Sorry, I thought you meant the website itself, not the forums. So, I changed my comment to be on topic.

For the forums, I like the new style except when too many posts get added on and they all get indented - goes further and further to the right.

Like:
http://haiku-os.org/community/forum/haiku_personal_edition

Follow that forum thread to the end & see what I’m saying. Otherwise, the new style looks very good.

I’ve changed that. Is this better now?

Well, what disturbs me the most is that I have to enter the subject, manually. Maybe there is a module which insert something automatically…

Our goal was to integrate the forums with the website and have only one login for all Haiku services.

If my memory does not fail, there is a setting in the Drupal forum module where you can specify whether subject input is required or not. I believe it is ON by default, and that if you disable it, Drupal will automatically use the first x number of characters from your post as the subject.

Yes, but then we get the quotes in the subject line. I’d like to have automatic “Re: …” subjects.

Problem solved!

Yes, I believe that is better. It was getting too out of control with the indenting (was very noticeable on the long threads).

Thanks Waldemar.

Edit: I noticed that this comment is also indented. So, the problem may still exist?

New comments are highlighted that way. There is no indentation.

ok, my mistake.

Good to know. Later.

There is one feature of the old forum I miss, and that is the button to mark all threads in a group as ‘read’.

If there’s any way to get that feature back, please make it so.
Thanks.
