Do you like the new EF look?

[mrplunkey]

The new look seemed good even at first, but its growing on me incredibly fast. I'm certainly no fanboi of anyone or anything, but here are a few things to consider:

1) We were pretty invested and comfortable in the old site. For people to be liking any change this soon, its a massive victory.

2) Upgrade processes suck. I'm shocked they got it up and running this quickly. Upgrade scripts never run on time, information never translates 1-to-1... its a thousand ways to die.

3) The new site has a great look-and-feel to me. For every visible upgrade we can see, there are probably 2-3 behind the scenes improvements that we won't directly feel but will benefit from over time.

Well done guys. That was an impressive transition.

Dime store reading glasses work just fine. Progressive lenses are okay for when you leave the house and need to be able to read a menu AND drive a car, but at home there's no point in them.

that's what I use DB. I really need to go get my eye's checked, I can't see as well now as the past, I even moved to 1.5 cheaters, but my sight is not as good far away now either. I'll be 49 on my next B-day....

how do you get along w/ your contacts? Do you wear them doing sports, etc?

I can get used everything else but the font is a poor choice for easy reading, while verdana on the other had is easy as cake on a cheat day to read.

Fixed!

Thank you! We will have the rest ironed out soon!

Kewl. I noticed in the other thread you mentioned that you're working on the width issue, and that and Karma are the only ones that really distress me and I am content in trusting that you said they'll be fixed eventually.

Now here is one I don't know if you noticed and it seems to be unpredictable, for lack of a better word. Sometimes threads that you have subscribed to "vanish." It just happened today. I log on and have three threads I'm subscribed to. I check the latest post in one of the threads, go back to my profile and now that thread is off the subscribed list and doesn't reappear until someone posts something new. It used to be that stuff didn't get cleared out unless you logged off. Sometimes you have a reason to want to reference back even though you looked at it a few minutes ago.

But sometimes it seems this doesn't happen.

No, I have a 19" diagonal monitor, but it's older, and not a flat screen, plus I have it set for pretty big resolution ... if I set it to a smaller pixel value I can see the whole forum but I can't anything else. I'm already destroying my near vision by spending too damn much time in front of the computer for my work, I don't need to speed the process up.

At home I have a 22" LCD set to 1680x1050 and it's fine with glasses. My work LCD is dual 17"s set to 1280x1024. The problem is they are exactly the wrong distance away. Too close to need glasses but I can't set them any farther back. If I take them off I forget about them until I get to my car and I can't see shit.

Fixed!

Thanks George.

Probably a coincidence that computers became a part of everyday life right about the time you were on schedule for presbyopia to start setting in. All those old warnings about your eyes -- reading in the dark, sitting too close to the TV -- those are just old wives tales.
