Change is coming to GameSpot!

Make the new site work so that users can automatically view the first unread post in a thread like another user in this thread was saying. I have utilized that feature elsewhere and it is convenient.

Get rid of post counts and levels dave123321

Just keep it how it is Gamespot.

I don't like it. :(

Wouldn't be surprised if this reduced the activity of the forums.

Hopefully, the redesign will boost activity here.BranKetra

Please!

I hope they change this. The more I look at it, the more it bugs me.

I know you can do that "hover cursor over avatar" thing, but come on... it should be in an open space where it's clearly visible at first glance.

Trail_Mix

I totally agree. That element should appear below avatars like here.

Get rid of usernames. Let posts speak for themselves dave123321

You're in the minority here and you're telling us that we're crying?CptJSparrow

Pretty sure I quoted him and not you.

That's it, I'm gonna use carrier pigeon from now on.

Someone said the the >> arrows on the thread page is what takes you to the first new post in any thread you want to read.

OK, just going by what someone else has stated, haven't gotten an invite yet so I don't know.

It looks a lot like Giant Bomb. Guess it was to be expected since they have the GB designer on staff.Guppy507

[QUOTE="dave123321"][QUOTE="The-Apostle"] Meh... I'm gonna give the playstation.com forums a shot when the change is official. I just explored it. I like the look.LJS9502_basic

Well, I can definitely understand the comparison:

Hmm... Not really liking the new forum format at all. Feels too cluttered and crowded. 

On the main boards it's fine, but while in a thread, why are they wasting a third of my screen to tell me which users post the most?  Who cares? and if you come to board regularly, you'd know that info anyways. 

Also, why are you wasting a third of the screen with links to other forums on the site? Again, on the topic page, it's fine, but not inside a thread it takes up too much space.  A drop down menu to quickly jump between forums would be efficient and not so cluttered. As it is, long posts and quoted posts are smushed to one side which makes it difficult to read and sometimes makes you scroll up and down to read the whole thing.

I'll give it a try for awhile, but might have to find a forum that feels less clunky.

I don't like how they did the user names......or the quotes.LJS9502_basic

Agreed, not a fan of the side wrap around style.
