Features of Autopia v2.0

**Mindflux** · 06-13-2010, 12:13 AM

Autopia 1.0 was crafted over 9 years of tweaks. Surely you guys can wait out improvements. I also have a 24" iMac and I don`t see any problems like Rob is. But I am also not blind as a bat and bumping font sizes up which will break formatting.

LOL.

I`m not blind as bat, but thanks for the demeaning response.

If Autopia 1.0 was crafted over 9 years of "tweaks" as you say, and people were happy with it (I sure was, and I don`t know why anybody would not have been happy with it), then why bother going to a completely different format?

Does the term "if it ain`t broke, don`t fix it" have any meaning to you?

And thanks for confirming that if you increase the font size, it does, in fact, screw up the formatting.

Bring back the old format.

Please.

I might have missed it somewhere but what about the Gallery?

Are all of the uploaded pictures gone or is it in the plan to restore them?

I don`t like it. Its like all the threads have been narrowed (page width) and it just looks old. Reminds me of AOL days. I am really not a fan of the new layout. Please change the formatting for the forum (at least) back. The site itself is fine, but its not a good change for the forum.

Exactly, it is very narrow. I`m using half the width of my 24" screen and it looks ridiculous.

I cant stand this new format please bring back the old one.

**white gecko** · 06-13-2010, 03:24 PM

maybe this is a good time for a poll on to bring back the old forum format?

Great idea!

I`d bet that they don`t care what we think though.

What the heck happened to the "New Posts" button???

**Setec Astronomy** · 06-14-2010, 06:58 AM

It`s right at the top left in the yellow ribbon under "Home". You can also click "What`s New?" at the extreme right of the blue ribbon.

The new version handles new posts differently. You can click on the `What`s New` Tab for new posts or if you click on Home, you will see Recent Posts on the right hand side. Once you read a post, it goes away from that list as a new post.

Not a fan of this new layout. I vote for the old one as well.

We do care about what you think. We know that the old version was very popular, but the new features in this version far outweigh anything that was lost. We know the structure is different, but its much more modern and in the direction a lot of forums and websites are going. It may take some time to get used to, but its packed with goodies.

So what exactly are the goodies connected with having a very narrow page and pictures that are tiny compared to before?
