I love the banner but, yeah, be better with the new badge on it too (regardless of what style guru suedehead may think).
It does need someone who knows their way around Photoshop to do it, however.

Looks alright on my phone and I hope it remembers read posts according to username rather than browser.
With the original format I could read a thread on my phone. But if I came back to it on my laptop I'd have to re read everything to figure out where I was up to.
As much as I like the old format, and I've been posting on there for around 10 years, it probably is tune for a change b

Style guru? Behave. It'd be quite easy to do it Photoshop, I could do it on Monday when I'm back at work. I'm not going to though, because it'll look crap.

So, this is progress. I can tell people my:
* Location * Website Name * Website URL * Most Recent Status * Social media addresses
I can:
* Create an avatar * Make sure my 'me me me' posts are always top of the board. * Tell people when my birthday is * Make 'friends' * Purchase badges * Snigger at people who are only 'GT Law'
These, presumably, are all the features 'that people want'. Errr...

Add to that:
* You can make sure everything you write and everything you like written by other people will remain on here forever. * It's potentially free (ad supported) forever. * It provides admin with a lot more handle on who each person is, something they have said wasn't possible on the other board. * It tells everyone (via a quirky symbol) what sex you are. Just in case anyone was wondering. This is the most vital thing.

Errr... you can tell people what the feck you want, I for one will not be using such features. Why would you snigger at GT Law people, most new posters on the old YB say that they are new. You will always find holes if you look for them

1 You can make sure everything you write and everything you like written by other people will remain on here forever. 2 It's potentially free (ad supported) forever. 3 It provides admin with a lot more handle on who each person is, something they have said wasn't possible on the other board. 4 It tells everyone (via a quirky symbol) what sex you are. Just in case anyone was wondering. This is the most vital thing. 1. Wasn't it actually a beauty of the old board that your posts *did* disappear? 2. Negligible cost on the YB anyway. 3. They could have made the 30% they didn't know re-register. 4. Fair point. Don't feel the need to defend it. I'll roll with it if it's what people want. But I'll be a pest to begin with. Ooo look - a new smilie - I'm won over

Ooo look - a new smilie - I'm won over 1. Only sometimes. 2. True, but it was a point worth making. 3. Bit of a faff and by no means guaranteed they would have? 4. WELL THEN! Strangely, having been on here for a few hours since it was announced, I found myself flicking back to the old YB. I'm going to miss that daft old thing if it is finally turned to worm food. But having used proboards since about 2002 on one forum and about 2005 on another, all while regularly heading to YB, I honestly can't see why we wouldn't migrate to this. Especially as Terry says boardhost will inflict their own version of progress on us at some point anyway. I get your point about the 'me me me' things too, but being able to bring things to the top is more useful than it is a pain. Mostly, it is what we make it.

btw, look how clever it is. We can quote each other.
Revolutionary.

I'm happy we've finally moved on to a new format. I understand others will take longer to adapt to the change, but IMO it's infinitely better.
