How much would you be willing to bet?
i like the idea behind the transformation, but am i missing something?!
the forums seem totally confused now. every other forum works chronologically including the old showstudio. makes sense...newest at the top.
now you really gotta want it to view the forums...sorting through everything to see if there's anything new. i just don't want it that bad.
i would be willing to bet that participation is way down.

cs is totally correct; the forum (or forums, plural) is/are completely confusing. You can't see the wood for the trees...the old format, whilst contentious, at least allowed you to respond to contemporary threads. Now, all I can see is a plethora of, albeit, beautiful colours. Sort it out!

Do you want to come on the bet too then?

Not really. I'd just prefer it if the forums were organised better x

Ahhhh......... looking at it it does appear there may be a bug with the ordering of topics so that they aren't appearing in the right order. Oddity. Will investigate. I've been a bit caught up in other bits and bobs, sorry.

Thanks Dorian! Also, sorry to say this - but I hope feedback on the new site is welcome - all those differing colours add, somewhat, to the overall "busyness" of the forum x

The feedback is indeed welcome, we don't generally get much time to test as thoroughly as I would like, so there are still things we're working on and tweaking.
I'm hoping this site will evolve rather than sitting much the same over the year, so the feedback will be heard and considered. I'm sure Paul will be able to explain the colours a bit better.

Right, hopefully the update I've just done will improve the situation somewhat. Now, within each forum, the most recently active topic will appear at the top of the list, with the next most recent below, and so on.

I thought that it was a littal strange yesterday, finding the topics all over the place.
In general the new system and lay out is very good, and its great that the studio is giving time for new people to have a chance and to put issues across,in what for so long has been a closed world.
Well done Nick, Penny,Doran as well as the rest of the team and Thanks
