The jury is still out here...
But with that said, I will give it a fair chance.

Re: WELCOME TO THE NEW TMW COMMUNITY FORUM!!!
I don't have a problem with font size, the page fills my 22" monitor and everything is clear, I also don't mind the colour scheme. What does bother me is the borders between the posts, they are exactly the same as the ones between a post and a signature and I find that to be a pain. If the division between the posts could be bolded or doubled or even coloured, it would make a world of difference... Oh yeah, one more thing, links opening in the same window, that totally sucks...

Re: WELCOME TO THE NEW TMW COMMUNITY FORUM!!!
Sorry to be a wet blanket, but I'm finding the new look cluttered and visually confusing. Previously I had no trouble scanning a page, separating post text I wanted to read from other visual elements. Now my eye is skating all over the place. Maybe it will improve over time, but I find it hard to pick out what I want to read. If it were a new system at work, I'd deal with it. But the intardwebz is supposed to be leisure, not business - I don't want to have to work at it. JS

Re: WELCOME TO THE NEW TMW COMMUNITY FORUM!!!
Hi allJust new to the site and still feeling my way around
Hoping to get some advice on buying a new road bike.
I've been in the dirt for many years and bought an '08 KTM EXCR 450 to get my lisence on.
It has been a blast and I just love the bike, but now I'm looking for a real road bike.
I've spent some time looking around this site and have learned a lot already.
Thinking about a KTM Super Duke or Triumph Speed Tripple or Aprillia Shiver
but I just don't know.
Will spend more time looking around here
Thanks for putting up with me

Don't like it. New and improved "geatures" aren't a big issue for me. In fact, readabliltiy is primary. The new format stretches text far too long to be comfortable for reading. (The "standard" line length for comfortable reading is one and a half alpahbets per line. ) The new format seems to go to 2+ alphabets long. Very tiring.

Re: WELCOME TO THE NEW TMW COMMUNITY FORUM!!!
I find only one major problem with this new system. The links do not change color to signify that they have been visited. This is important to keep track of your position in the list......
Otherwise, I'm all for it. I like the clear fonts and colors. I find it easier on the eyes and faster.
Thanks,
Pete
