frostyHAWK Posted October 21, 2010 Report Share Posted October 21, 2010 if you hate the new forum as mucha as i do, you might find a small problem with your account... "your password magically changes to something it wasn't" this is probably cause you had an nhl account to the same email and they fused together and now the account has some random backwards password. to fix this : forgot your password? get the e-mail change the pass done. i'm kind of mad at the new forum nonetheless, it doesn't have the epicness the old one used to have... oh well, times change.

Luee Posted October 21, 2010 Report Share Posted October 21, 2010 In general, it is not bad... I mean, it looks good, but it's sloooow and with all the problems that everybody have, I think they failed somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Lizardking89 Posted October 21, 2010 Report Share Posted October 21, 2010 I had to make a whole new account because logging in with my email would change my user name to something else. My avatar is gone and so is my post count. So far I don't like it at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roy_133 Posted October 21, 2010 Report Share Posted October 21, 2010 At least it's not kickapps, TBH I don't like the look or the feel. I liked the forum the way it was, I mean it's not just an anti change thing either (although I don't like change) the forum had been changed before and I didn't really much of a problem but this one is just off. The players are cut off on the sides and it looks weak, the Fan Forum banner at the top takes me back to the Canadiens main page instead of the forum home page.

Wow, took me a while to find out how to log into the damn thing. This forum feels a lot slower than the last one, big test for it tonight. The poll should have been, will the forum survive game night? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My avatar is gone and so is my post count. So far I don't like it at all I lost my account too, it still exists but I can't access my e-mail to change the password. I hate this forum so far. You should go to the 'Comments Questions and concerns thread in General Habs discussion and ask GHC to give your posts back on your acc. He's been doing that for a lot of people.

HabGirlYVR Posted October 22, 2010 Report Share Posted October 22, 2010 Hrm. What prompted the change? I didn't see anything at all wrong with the old forum...

Evelye Posted October 22, 2010 Report Share Posted October 22, 2010 I'm starting to get use to it... I think they wanted to create a more interactive board. When all the users name problem is gonna be fix it I think we will appreciate it better. I prefered when the subjects were separated. Now the pinned ones and all the others are like all together, I hate it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newt_mtl Posted October 22, 2010 Report Share Posted October 22, 2010 Great. So if I had a username here (newton) that has been already taken on nhl.com or wherever, it's gone, right? Love it. Way to go. I don't care about the forum face-lift, these come & go over the years. I kind of HATE the fact that my good 'ol virtual self is gone. Just because someone had the brilliant idea of merging it with somebody else's account. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manatee-X Posted October 22, 2010 Report Share Posted October 22, 2010 Well Forum, you almost had your first yes vote but you blew it. I voted yes and had written a long post about how I liked the new PM and account management features and how if you set it to IP Board mode it's pretty quick to load. But then just before I pressed the 'Post' button my screen flashed and I lost it all. Atta alienate your only supporter, forum! Although it did lead me to find one good new feature.... you can change your vote in polls now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest archey Posted October 23, 2010 Report Share Posted October 23, 2010 the only points important about the new forum to me are that the colors make it impossible to focus. the typeface is completely off, and its as if i have to worship some foreign god, not that worshipping god is bad, but who is this stranger the shape of the letters keep introducing me to? the differential between the sides make me feel like i'm falling into a river between seeing what is said and who is saying it, so that's not user friendly. there is a new button called promote to article which i'm afriad to touch. the forum world might blow up if i press it. of course the social rightness of what's being done would cause recall elections in parlimentary systems that do that sort of thing, so that isn't good. so in all- not that change is bad, but in this case it is.
