Sigh at the new layout

[tectonic]

basically i think the new layout is really bad.

things everywhere
we don't actually know what we are looking at
no boarders
all the forum posts are hard to read due to color configuration

[Niceman 123]

Maybe I am a little bit old fashioned but I don't think the new forum is user-friendly at all.

Unless they can transfer the data from the old forum to the new forum. The switching of screen via link to the old forum and back and forth is really time consuming and confusing.

I don't think I will post more under the new forum and I think the hit rate will slow down for this website because retrieval of useful information on girls and shops/agencies are now much more inconvenient and complicated.

Furthermore, Admin has to maintain the old site for indefinite time frame because all precious information on girls and shops as well as past PMs of individual member are only available in the old site.

It just needs a bit of getting used to, just like buying a new TV set, one has to learn the extra new functions instead of just turning it on and off.

This is a very popular server as used by a few other forums ! It's got a lot more functions waiting to be explored !

Transferring the contents of the whole forum is not possible as I was told due to different format !

The new forum is nothing special in terms of the layout but I am sure that some good hidden features will bring us around to seeing the advantages after a while. The one thing I am not a fan of is all of the advertisements flashing. It seems unnecessary to me.

[Max Wood]

Then why did you put that flashing ad next to your post?

Just kidding DeepImpact.

ps are you the sweet C cup girl or the not so cute punter? I'm confused..

[irontail]

I like how it's mobile friendly.I can see it well on my phone

Nice one, very funny. If I have to choose then I am the 'not so cute punter' I guess you could say but I do have other redeeming qualities that my beautiful namesake may not possess.

yep, it's a lot simpler and so it works faster !

this new forum should be ok in terms of performance as it is using one of the most popular software vbulletin. but who ever design the site should be more conservative abt the color choice .
1. i think color should be more mild to give more focus on text as text is the important feature of any forum.
2.those advertisement banners are cheap design.the guy design it has no sense.plain stupid as it is torture to eyes.
3.what wrong with old posts,there should be option to migrate those data to this forum.,what if someone want to see old reviews?how could admin sacrifice those gold mine. that's the asset of the forum.get someone who could fix it.
4.there should be another section in Sydney forum;Roster .it will give a clean view to general section,i guess.

i think this one is better example of design and color scheme http://forum.xda-developers.com/index.php

[Niceman 123]

It doesn't seem to be an upgrade to me. I really think the old site is better and I am not the one complaining the old site. Maybe they need the help of some system man brother like Commanderpost to help them. Ask bro. Commanderpost for help, Admin, particularly for the data transfer and he will give a discount to you for his services

[Jj999]

I think almost everything is fine.
Except the ads and the links at the top and bottom.
Sucks.
The colour and design don't match with the overall colour and design of the forum.

Those links' design : "aus99.com", "melb99.com", etc.
Looks an outdated design.

I think admin should consider changing the design.

hi brothers

This thread is moved away fro Sydney - General talk TO Feedback, Questions and Complaint.

Yes, new features, higher security and more colour skins available, which means more flexible

1.) Yes, mobile version - which is the main reason we purchase this forum from US, thus it give you no banners and no images in mobile version, so that you can make posts and reply quick and easy in mobile

2.) Will add more color and design in near future (which you can set your favorite color in your profile setting, instead of this pink)

3.) Under each borad, there is a new features - Thread Display Options so that you can search and sort the thread according to your preference, which it can give you quick and direct information as you needed.
such as Search Prefix - Roster, so even we have 1000 threads in Sydney General talks, it will only filter and shows you all roaster, which it is 100% much more easy to find info as you needed than the old forum
Thus, we no need to have another section called Roster. Try the great SEARCH PREFIX features.

4.) Flashing banner, when compare to old forum, actually it appears less frequent. as it only appear on the top and bottom of the page
where in the old forum, every few reply, you will see one.
We reduce the banner because we wanna give you faster loading time.

5.) Of course we did try hard to do the data migration, even we contacted vbulletin and willing to pay them money to do data transfer, however, vbulletin replied me by email that they don't have solution to transfer data from eBlah -> vBulletin.
If you have time, visit vbulletin forum and you will find out that many other ppl in the world also requesting the same data migration solution from vbulletion company for eBlah -> Vbulletin
Any brothers can help, email us..... we tried hard and no luck.

6.) sorry for doing the stupid design and color choice, as we are not professional graphic designer. Welcome giving us valuable suggestions and advise. I did create a poll for you guys to vote and tell us what colours do you want? we will set up more color according to your choice.

We are here to serve you, listen to you and action according to your needed. Thanks for everything and really hope all brothers can continue supporting us.

Your support is really important to us.

Have a good day

exactly my thoughts

[tectonic]

also the color this pink it's really bad lol

[minifatcat]

This new sight is a lot more difficult to navigate.
May be after some time I will get use to it. I cannot even find a place where to post a new Thread yet.
Anyway thanks for trying.

maybe talking about where the button is to make a new thread
which should also be considered as a problem

[Administrator]

As you can see there are buttons
- post new thread
- reply to a thread

Enjoy

Admin, I understand you have a problem for the data transfer/migration from the old site to the new site but if you don't solve the problem or do it manually yourself with your team members, that means you will have to maintain the two sites for an indefinite period of time until all the precious information/data in the old site becomes obsolete due to the lapse of time which maybe one year or even longer.

There is also the problem of members' PMs which are still kept in the old site. Most members including myself want to maintain such PMs even though they are old ones.

I can only forsee that without a solution to the data transfer, I will have to continue to browse the old site from time to time for a very long period of time

Well said brother Niceman,

I just spent half a day mirganting the Snow Lotus threads across with all my detailed postings plus any meaningful posting from all supporting brothers and a few bad ones too. In the next few days, I will browse through the old forum to see if there is any of my old posts that I am proud of or if they were informative like those two about Chequers and Babylon, I bring them over myself. Since Admin has confirmed that the data transfer is not possible, I guess it's now up to ALL the brothers who have contributed so much to make the forum what it is today to put in a bit more personal efforts here to at least restore your own "treasures" and bring them across over here so that the legends can live on.

But it will be very sad to leave "Newtown Massage" behind as that was not a one man efforts, it's a continuous growing reasons of all massage punters, 330,000 views and 2,000+ replys are just awesome!!

Well, I will do my own little bit, how about you??

Cheers
