You may've noticed a change in our C-box.

I decided to change brands temporarily to see how this brand works.

Give me comments here.

And yes, I know it's kind of annoying to have to sign up for chatango to get all the features, but I'd give it a try. Such features include fonts, avatars and all kinds of crazy crap.

Luckily I already have an account due to another forum having the same kind of c-box.

I haven't really ever been a fan of chatango, something about the design just seems... unappealing. I do like how you don't have to hit the refresh button ever few nano-seconds. Customizable fonts and colors are alright but some combinations hurt my eyes as if a cat were clawing at them.

Personally, I don't like it. When I'm at school (Like am I now), I cannot use this new C-Box.

Which is bad.

Very. Very. Bad.

Appreciate the effort of trying something new Clearing but I preferred the old Cbox. I dislike having to sign up for Chatango and it looks rather ugly. The refresh button on the old was bad but it's bearable. Eh. I guess the new one just doesn't click with me.

Reall guys? I can't be the only one to like Chatango. Here are some reasons.

-If you post a link to an image, you can see said image in the cbox.

-Font toggle is a lot easier. You can tell the difference between posters easier (In the past, I've confused two people with similar names. Color stops that)

-The format grows on you. Now, I couldn't really care less between the prior Cbox and Chatango.

-Signing up takes all of ten seconds. Don't see the big deal.

-You can have an avatar in the cbox.

I don't mind either way. I like the new one, I like the old one.

I don't really have a lot of pull or anything but I would like to weigh in anyways.

I do not see a lot of positive effects with having to switch other then the fact you no longer have to refresh which wasn't much of an issue in the first place. I thought the other one just looked more appealing and had a much easier to understand format. English isn't my first language and even when I was just getting used to things the older system was very easy for me to use and understand. I have trouble getting this one to do what I want it to and as a result I have pretty much cut off using it.

Colorful fonts and avatars are kind of interesting but the avatars are too small to be comfortably visable and the colored fonts can be hard on the eyes. I also just don't like the looks of it and even though signing up is easy it is nowhere near as easy as it used to be. It was nice for new members to be able to quickly go into the Cbox and have conversations and get help with no hassel at all where now you have to deal with signing in and such.

This is the first time i've seen the new C-box. I like Orin said before like that you don't have to hit refresh every time to see what everyone else has siad. However...

I personally prefer the old one as it blended well with the overall look of the site skin. However (Again) i'm not against having it. A nice idea Clearing.
