Does anyone else not like the new layout?

I have noticed the same thing. Definitely less activity lately since the upgrade...
 
Yes, I have been only getting the first page with no option for more pages which I know are there as I see "1 to 21 of 49."
 
^ Same here.



I wonder, with all the complaints and problems, is anyone listening? Will these problems get fixed, are we due for a "downgrade"? Does anyone higher up care to address this? I love Autopia, I have been here a long time, but with all the complaints I cant help but wonder if people will start going to other forums.

Agreed! They should ditch GoDaddy all together and get a real hosting company.

rackspace

theplanet

liquidweb



to name a few
 
Same issue. I go to "New Posts", look at the threads I want, then get to the bottom of the page and it says, "1-20 of 65". There is no link to get to the next page: 21-40, or whatever. What gives?

I definitely agree with you...

GoDaddy sucks



I hope they iron everything out soon...

And I hope forum activity picks up when they do.
 
I think action speaks volumes and the lack of posts and decreased volume here from what I can tell (and I've been here a long long time) is the only indication that the changes have been badly received. Not sure how they plan improving things but considering i only visit 1x per day now, and that is simply with the hope that things have been improved in content and design but sadly.. that hasn't been the case.
 
The new layout is terrible. I can only get the first page.



Looks like nobody is listening or cares.



Time to go somewhere else.
 
Dear Autopia creators:

I know how much hard work time, effort, etc. You put into Autopia 2.0, but please bring back the old layout! You can incorporate the new fancy system and features into the old layout, and everyone would be happy, and everyone would come back! When I first saw Autopia 2.0, I couldn't look at it for long, like others said. Everything about the old autopia was so much easier. In my opinion, and in at least 90% of other autopian's opinions, the old autopia should be brought back ASAP and then you guys could slowly incorporate your new features into the old layout.
 
This new format is TERRIBLY SLOW!!! If I click on a link it takes forever for it to load up.....sometimes 30 seconds or more. It's like I am on dial up all over again! Is it just me or is anyone else suffering from a slow navigation around this "new and improved" forum? Sure the forum layout is "new" but just what has been "improved"?



It takes almost 45 seconds to a full minute to even load the forum up from my bookmarks.....what's what with that? Anyone else?

Same here, it takes forever to load. This has been going on for weeks. Any fix in the near future?
 
The way it should be. I love how the server is now new and supposed to be faster and the glitches are gone, but it still takes between 30-60seconds to load a page.

It wasn't when the server first came up. I wonder if whoever was attacking autopia's old IP address is now attacking their new one? Either some vindictive SOB or there's something else going on.
 
Gotta love how quiet Autopia owners/mods are sooooo quiet addressing concerns and compliants. DavidB was always quick to address the community.
 
Meh, the new look I agree isn't as good as the old one, but it's growing on me. Mostly it's a learning curve, getting used to how it looks and where all the clickables are. I'm over the whole "I wish it didn't change" sentiment, and have moved on and gotten used to the new look. I'd suggest everyone else does the same, as I don't think we're reverting back, and dreaming of the past is a waste of time, IMO anyways.
