I like the new look 'personal message board', perfect so i can get rid of what i dont want to see! Nice touch.
You have to make money, so the ads i will have to get used to, or get rid of them myself. Not to my liking of course.
Now i have centre view back how i want it (like i loved when you first did it, a Simon? lol, i am happier.
I look forward to more changes if i can spot them easily! As i have a seive head and forget how it was so easily.
Much like the old Scotch video tape advert, can anyone remember the ad where it says, 'is this on the tele now?' and 5 seconds later, 'is this on the tele now?', well thats me and my brain! LOL.

Jeez, the general busy-ness and offensive colours are really starting to affect my usage of the forums. How would a partially-sighted person cope?
Look at PistonHeads.com :: Speed Matters for an example of a successful site (sold to Haymarket now) with limited advertising, avatars and signatures. It's clean and functional.

thanks oobster
carl
1) the piston heads forum is minute by comparrison to ScoobyNet, and is ranked some 1,300 places lower down the pecking order of forums on big boards.
2) their SITE is very successful though, and the SITE that you just sent me a link to has ON THAT PAGE ALONE :
ELEVEN banner adverts
Please try to get your facts straight before commenting in such an opinionated and cocky tone.
I'm all for criticism, as long as its a) constructive, b) offered without the cocky arrogance (we're on your side after all) and c) based on fact rather than fiction.

I think most of us know that it always seems to be those who shout in an opinionated tone that tend to be the ones that know nothing. The reason is that they prefer to shout, than to listen, so they never actually learn anything.
Anyway. Thanks to the overwhelming majority on your appreciation, or constructive criticism. I hope we're striking as close to the perfect balance as possible, but we'll keep at it

Maybe it's because I'm using Safari.

LOL
what i mean is.. I always used to spell it "bare with us", and got the micky taken out of me for ages, to the point where I acutally started doing it on purpose.
I was asking if anyone misses the old days when I used to spell it wrongly
