      I read almost everything posted in these forums. I post more seldom than in the old forums, maybe there are less questions I know the answer to...

        ...Here is a preview of what a new forum can look like, but bear in mind that the colors will be different with mostly blues. I'm interested in feedback about this look.

        Coen, apart fromm your avater, I would not mind the rest...

          Coen,

          I, too, visit this site multiple times daily. It has become a part of my on-line life. It's like a fix. I need it. Gotta have it. Can't imagine life without it.

            Coen,
            That looks good, I'd be happy with it.

            English doesn't borrow from other languages. It follows them down dark allies, knocks them over, and goes through their pockets for loose grammar.

              I'm visiting this forum many times a day and when I'm unable to visit it, it's like I'm missing something, as I wouldn't have been able to have my morning coffee.

              My one and only real problem is that english is not my mother language and it's harder for me to participe as I would like to in many interesting topics. However, I read a lot of them and it's incredible the number of time which it helped me to be more productive with SU.

              Don't change anything on this forum. It's a jewel.

                Coen, I like it better with the avatar and personal info to the left.
                We read from left to right and I believe its better to see who has posted before reading the post. IMHO.

                  I second that. Although it's obvious you need to start a new board to prevent further hacks I think the current one is a winning formula 😄. Sadly, I think many folks are still reeling from the demise of the old SU forums and becoming accustomed to SCF. It'd be a real shame to put people through that all over again, especially if the forum format changes dramatically again. It's an unavoidable fact that some regulars on the old forums who posted several times a day and were amongst the most experienced SU users out there barely post more once a day. We know this forum is great 💚 , so the only reason I can think that some members are posting less or not at all is purely because of the big switch-over.

                    I'd just like to second others Coen, the forum is fantastic, as I work by myself most of the time, you guys are my substitute work colleagues, however, I am taking far too many coffee breaks and chatting here! Like Anssi I think I read every post too. 😄

                      I visit here nearly everyday as well, and enjoy looking at what everyone is using su for, as well as the useful hints that I have gained by just reading the forums. Since I first posted here the forums have got better and better. The only thing I think (as others have mentioned) is the number of sections/sub-sections, personally I would be quite happy to have a single 'off-topic' section, although which others you'd get rid of I'm not sure.

                      As for the change to phpbb 3, it would be a positive move as far as I'm concerned.

                      The name of the poster is actually above the post on the left aswell (under the title of the post) - takes a little getting used to at first though!

                        I think the real "deal" here is whether the format, style or layout makes a forum or the members and their contributions.
                        I would really vote for this second one and if the case is that we must move from one layout to another for some technical reasons, we will need to do it. As for me, the look is not that important - one can get used to almost anything (even the GGroups, don't say no 😄) - I'm simply just glad to be able to participate here and even more that I can help with the maintenance of this place.

                        I know that there might be some problems if we shift and it worries me more than the layout.

                        Coen, btw, could you just show us a similar layout (though I know that much can be done with the stylesheet, too so it wouléd not necessarily be the same as ours here).

                          Coen,

                          You have given me a new home. There are only three sites I go to often Hotmail, Facebook and here. I'd hate to see my usage records for this site. Sometimes I come here just to have a break from the boredom of work.

                          The old forums were good but here we have a new life, new look and new people to learn from and share with.

                          Thanks Coen and the Gang

                            Oh Coen - you are my hero... 😒 (Oh, brother.)

                            LOL.

                            Yes, I lke the forums here. Not as tight and compact as the old @Last forum, but that's ok. I like the larger text entry box for sure.

                            One of the pains with the old forums was actually getting a change made. That certainly is not a problem with this forum. Thank you and the other moderators.

                            Whereever this forum evolves to is OK by me.

                              The SCF is GREAT! The newsletter is great. We are all owe you a big thanks to you (Coen)for providing it, and a thank you to Gaius and all the moderators for their continued efforts. I've noticed that I have come to rely on visits to the forum for relief when bogged down with mind-numbing work. Hardly a day goes by I don't visit.

                              My avatar is an anachronism.

                                Wow...The main forum page has changed!
                                Much, much better now. All topics to be seen in one glimps of an eye. PERFECT 😄

                                Thanks for listening to your audience.
                                Top work.

                                  I am amazed at how much I have learned here about using SU. I've posted a couple questions, but mostly just perusing through answers to questions by others and viewing the great tutorials.

                                  May all your dimensions be the sum of their total.

                                    Hi all, I've been inactive for a bit lately. Interestingly though, I'm using SU more now than I ever have in the past. So I'm attempting to come back (thanks to some friendly pushing and shoving from Susan Sorger). Already I think I'm addicted in just a few minutes this morning 😄.

                                    In general I really like the format. It all looks pretty great. There's mor forums than I'm used to, but I tihnk I'll get used to that. They look really well organized. So keep up the good work everyone!

                                    PS I like Avatars of people that look normal. If they start getting all creepy and lame, I might start turning against the avatars being on. But so far, it seems mostly pretty good on this forum (not like some of the other 3d software forums I've been on before).

                                    Lately you've been tan, suspicious for the winter.

                                        If I have a question it is here I will post it and not on the Google forum. I still however miss the uncluttered look of the old Google/@last forum. If you are changing the appearance then simpler is better for me.

                                            Lots of very good input here. I have faith in the new forum looking excellent.

                                            I was also a fan of the look of the old forums also, they where nice and streamlined with a professional look.
