**NEW FORMAT: Post any complaints/questions/comments here**

Hello all!

I'm SOOOOOOOO happy to see the new format was installed over night, yea! I was flying home super late with both kids last night so we are just now up and around for the day. I haven't had a chance to investigate everything just yet so, fill me in on what you like/hate, what you are having trouble with, what you would like to see change, etc.

Anyone have any complaints, questions, comments about the new format?!?

Any technical/user questions I can help with?

Thanks, y'all!

    No troubles. I like 99% of it.  I'd just love to see a post count on the side, rather than needing to go to the profile of the person.

    This.

    Also the new color scheme (or total lack thereof) is brutal on the eyes.

    I want my nesticle and platinum status, doggonit. I do like the notification when someone responds to a post of mine. Pretty sweet.

    I don't mind it after finding the siggy instructions. My "my bump" section is still the old format.

    I don't like the white and switching boards is annoying.

    Other than that, it's not too bad. I the new emoticons are lame though.

    I agree. The overwhelming white is giving me a headache. And switching boards is a PITA. Also, the menu to do so takes up too much space. Which would bother me less if there was a complete list of boards instead of a menu requiring multiple clicks.

    gwapes - noted
    @chapter79 - yes, I agree. I was wondering where post counts were. I'll mention this!
    @stefibeth - what is one click navigating?!?
    @amy052006 - autofill for tagging would be awesome, I'll mention it!
    @cnamom - as for "between board navigating" are you meaning you'd rather have the entire list down the side in a column, like before? You don't really like the drop down menu?

    Thanks to everyone so far! :)

    PS - did all my tagging work? Did y'all get a little notification at my mention? I really LOVE LOVE LOVE this feature!

    I agree with both of these. I would have just hit the Love It button, but it doesn't seem to be working in Safari.

    I cannot see the results of the poll below about smoking.  Not sure if there is a technical problem or what.

    Also, at the top of this page, it has the name of the board you are on, but you cannot click it to go back.  I know you can scroll a little more and there is a much smaller link, but any time you see "Stay at Home Moms" I'd think you should be able to click on it to get back to the main page.  I do now see it at the bottom of my reply box, which is nice.

    I'm strictly mobile and my problems / complaints are:

    When I click the attach file button, it brings up the box that says choose file, but nothing happens when I click it.

    I can't see post authors from the main page.

    All the white. It's ugly and it hurts my eyes.

    Not sure what happened to my last reply, but on mobile I can't see who the author of a post is from the main screen. Also, the attach file button does nothing for me. Can't upload a pic.

    I would like to have some sort of separation line or some other way to separate the signature and the body of the post.

    I agree with too much lack of color/ very bright.

    I also think it would be nice if you could tag people easier than typing their whole screen name out.

    Hopefully this post will "stick." I have reposted the same comment on a particular thread three times, but it still disappears after I leave the thread and come back later.

    Agree that the white is awful!  A more soothing color that didn't sting the eyes would be nice.

    @katemw  I can't post either.  Nothing updated and it said I was not allowed, didn't have permission or a discussion doesn't exist.  Apparently it's back up, but wow - Annoying!

    @soontobemrs.shavers  The drop down menu on the right doesn't show anything except SAHM for me.  I have to back out to the community page and go to my BMB, cloth diapering, etc.

    Tagging needs to be fixed. Autofill, option next to quote, whatever. Also it dosn't work when a user has an "=" in their username.

    You both can PM Bump Jackie and have that removed so you can be tagged. I just had my period in my name removed. :)

    this has been the knot format for months, so why so much trouble?

    I'm cracking up that I had 7 PMs with one word in them when I came back because people used me to test, apparently?

    And everything we tried to post while it was down, posted? Nice. I reamed a girl on my BMB twice, unnecessarily.
    Ugh, yikes :(  I was locked out as of 1pm yesterday - couldn't do/see anything. No clue how many of my one-word posts and PMs went out today either.

    So, besides all the weird lock-outs happening all day yesterday, can everyone post/reply/PM today? 

    I'll pass along all your feedback, just keep leaving it here so I can reference back to it. Thanks!
