So just to point out that this new 'look' for the boards is not of my doing- I've been making a new banner and all but I guess this is just some sort of general Proboards update. Not entirely sure where our old banner and footer have gone but bear with me whilst I try to figure out how to upload the new one!

That's weird, the other Boggs Board is still the same, either way I actually really like this new interface.

The other board is...rather old, doubt they would update it.

That's weird, the other Boggs Board is still the same, either way I actually really like this new interface. Nope, not me! Maybe they're doing a staggered approach with the changes, sort of like how some people get a new Facebook layout before others when there's an update? Glad you like it though! I think it looks cleaner but it seems odd for now, will probably take a while to get used to. Anyway, I've been trying to upload at least some sort of banner, even just the old one, but the new design means that the old banner is the wrong size and can't be fitted properly unless it's tessellated (which looks awful). The new banner is also obviously the wrong size so I'm trying to edit it at the moment, but I don't want to upload it until it's ready so it'll probably be a day or two before the new one is up. Sorry guys!

Take your time LG. Know you were planning an update...but seems Proboards got ahead of us on it 0_0
Hehehe, nice temp banner. Randall: You guys finished yet? No? Ok, I'll come back later.

Haha, yes it does!
And thanks, thought I'd at least put something up there in the meanwhile, but the sizing of the new banners is really weird. I mean, it looks good stretching right across like that but if I'd known they were going to change so drastically I'd have waited until after the update to start work on the new one haha! Ah well.

Hehehe.
Yeah I see the stretching issue. Hmm...well guess the idea we had for the banner could still work, gives us more room if we do a sorta layer-on-layer system, like topping a pizza.

It will just take a bit of getting used to with this new design but I think it's fine.

Probably, but still think the original was fine the way it was. Hate when everything keeps getting upgraded when it's fine.
Though, some of the new features are interesting and provide good convenience. Wonder if they fixed our search system...

I think it's cool that our avatars can be a bit bigger now without being MASSIVE. 150 x 150 is a good size. Too lazy to change mine though at the moment.

I find the new design a bit messy /hard to navigate. The visual separation of individual posts in a thread, for example, is in my opinion inadequate. In other words, I find it hard to discern where one post ends and another begins. Isn't there a way how to - perhaps even subtly - tweak the GUI? Adding dividers or separators would help a lot!

Some new features are...interesting. Maybe we just have to try and round-out the details and see what can be tweaked for the better.
