Thoughts on the New Interface? (I hate it)

Overwhelming majority? The only reason I don't take you up on your offer is that it would take a lot of effort to record all of the people who agree with me across the many threads on the subject.

Avatar of alphaous

Lol, at least we agree about something. I guess it's not worth the effort if nothing much will come of it.

Avatar of alphaous

Unless more people start putting opinions. Then it's on again!

Avatar of alphaous

I wonder when it will be released to non-Beta members.

Avatar of alphaous

They must have had prior warnings or said something egregious. I do like that feature, so instead of having to describe a crime in great detail, one can briefly recap the comment they are reporting, making everyone's life easier. A far better addition than the interface!

Avatar of alphaous

Yeah, it should improve the forums.

It was just released to beta this week, though my understanding it's been used by staff for a lot longer. I would imagine it won't take very long to be released site wide, but they'll want to look at feedback and potentially make some changes based on that and fix any reported bugs

I see. How bad would the public opinion be in Beta be for it not to be released?

I don't have any idea if that would prevent things, but may guide changes to the menu. But from what I can tell, it's primarily that people don't like the layouts, which ultimately probably isn't enough to not release it.

 

I'm still getting used to things but so far things seem to be fine.

Avatar of alphaous

Okay. I guess the new style, which I do like, is outweighing the inconvenient format from what I've seen in the forums. But if even you have to get used to it, then everyone should, which should be interesting.

Nobody has changed their opinion from what I've seen, but I don't feel like going through the trouble to change it for uncertain changes. People who gave a good reason why they like or dslike the UI often will take longer to change their minds. I think this is a stable poll.

One last question: Is the staff considering putting Library and Explorer back into Play and Learn, respectively?

I think everyone who has talked about that in the forums doesn't like them being in More, including @ChessWithNickolay, who likes everything else.

What else  don't you like?

I've got a question for you:

Why don't you like it?
