MAKE IT STOP!; So many changes in so little time...

Words cannot describe the confusion and sadness that I am feeling right now. What's next??? There have been so many changes to Strawberry Fields, it seems like this isn't Strawberry Fields anymore. The last month has been so hard for everyone and I want the old Strawberry Fields back!!! These changes have taken their toll on me and I am at a complete loss trying to figure out what happened in the last month. Once I calm down about one thing, another thing happens. WHEN WILL IT STOP!?!?!? I'm a confused being.
I am James, and this is my signature.

Like I said in another thread, it's like I went away for a few days, and y'all redecorated. I hate it the board look, and billyshears is right, it doesn't feel like 'home' any more. :hmm:

It will soon enough. It's just like anything, you have to get used to it. I must say though that it seems like the board has taken a step back in time instead of updated. It' just seems less sophisticated. and more cumbersome.

Geez people! No disrespect but the words "Queen" and "Drama" come to mind!

Okay, I'm not too fond of the design either but half of that is the unfamiliarity of it and the other half is that you can't please everyone. I'm old enough to remember when people complained about how "pink" the old design was. Yet we managed to survive.

Servers change. That can't be helped. Everyone has their personal preferences, but enough with the "it's the end of the world" nonsense please. :hmm:

Sorry, Bill, but it's our right to voice our displeasure. If that freedom has been taken away, then I, for one, am outta here!

Steady on Bev! Who said anything about rights being taken away? Do I not have as much right to express my point of view as the next person? I do and I have. That's all. And it's my opinion that people are making a bit much of all this.

As for people's legitimate displeasure at the changes, please keep in mind that right now there is absolutely nothing we can do about it.
But I would ask people to remember that it's just a layout and the people you are conversing with haven't changed. I would like to think that the friendships forged here are stronger than a few yucky colours.

That's my problem too. Yes, Bill, the people are what make the board. But we lose contact with the people if the board's crashing on us every few minutes. THAT'S what I have a problem with.

My chief complaints are that it's slow [and that's temporary] and that the large images dwarf the actual posts [and that's cleared up by hiding avatars and signatures]. The colour scheme doesn't bother me and if it did I'd change it soon as we have that option.
If you read my posts backward there's evidence that Paul is dead.

My complaints with the new layout are more than cosmetic. First off, I'm forced to scroll all the way back to the top of the page, once I've read through all the posts on a thread, just to click and return to the main page. That's a pain!

Secondly, I'm no longer receiving email notifications regarding new private messages. The pop-up message alert that appears in the lower right-hand corner of the page is so small that it's very easy to overlook.

And, darn it, this blindingly-white page is very hard on the eyes, at least on MY eyes!! We're not all 16 years old, ya know??

I'm not sure how long it's going to take to decipher all of those little blue buggers AKA "clickable emoticons". Where did my *wacko* face go???


Bill, I was just blowing off steam at you. Sometimes I don't think you realize how stern or dictatorial your posts can *sound*. I'm sure you're a softie in real life, but sometimes your manner on the board can come across as a bit harsh. (I'm sure I've been guilty of this, as well, and will welcome a swift kick in the knickers on the necessary occasions. ;) ) Plus, I'm just really, really p*ssed off tonight. I'm sure you read my "Take this job and shove it" topic. Need I say more? :whistle:

What's it going to do in complaining? Complaining about things don't usually solve things. This layout is what's going to be. I'm not fond of it, but life's too short. People will complain about anything nowadays it seems.
Bill, you're a pussycat (and a cute one at that :devil: :whistle: :giggle: )
