So where are the new profile customization options? I can't seem to find them.

it's in the upper right hand side of your user profile. there is a button there for customizing your profile.

That's what people have been saying, but I don't see any button. Can someone post a screenshot for me perhaps?

**Fenix** · 11-10-2011

Do you mean this?

**x6Teen** · 11-10-2011

never knew we had that option until i saw wesmore's page few minutes ago.

i don't have it though? :/

**Ixion** · 11-10-2011

I don't have that. Strange...

**Blacksite** · 11-10-2011

I don't see it on my profile page either. :/

**-Kwesnoth-** · 11-10-2011

Not on mine either.

**darky89** · 11-10-2011

It's there on mine, but doesn't save the changes anyway. Unless that's been fixed???

[Edit] Just tried it. Nope, still doesn't save.

It wasn't a feature we anticipated having. It was just sort of included with the new shop.

I am wondering if only people who have bought a style mod are seeing that button.

Will have to check and see.

Also, my profile settings save, but I have heard of many that don't. will try to sort that as well.

The rep bar is smaller?

**BoyBettaKnow** · 11-10-2011

Just going to say the new way threads are presented in the menu looks a little bit cluttered. Due the way it shows whats in the thread more often than not it ends up being loads of URL's

**Forcedme** · 11-10-2011

The new presentation for the boards is far too cluttered. The previous system of running your mouse over a topic of interest, and having a small window appear next to the topic, was far more streamlined, and aesthetically superior.

The new system makes it irritating to sift through new threads. It's not much different from being bombarded with a wall of text.

Yes its very hard to look at and read.
Makes me wonder if the admin team actually has eyes

I noticed there is a favicon now is it a temp one?

They may have gone blind from looking at it for more than 30 seconds.

Brutal doesn't even begin to describe it.

**Thorzilla** · 11-10-2011

Is it just me or do now all threads have a tiny text preview below them?

**Tutankhamun** · 11-10-2011

To my eyes, without testing it, making the preview text like two-three points smaller and in italic would look a lot better. Not a huge fan of the font but it would look better if it was smaller and in italic I think. Might want to try setting it to 9pt Futura too.

No gaming forum has previews like this because it doesn't serve any purpose and only makes things a cluster****. There doesn't need to be a preview since you can do that with a mouseover. Again, the efforts you guys are doing are greatly appreciated by the community but this change feels like it has only been done for the sake of change and only makes the layout far worse.

I don't think preview text even if it's 1pt size should be there.

Also I liked the old rep bars better bring them back.

**ps3freak18** · 11-10-2011

Ok Just making sure that it wasn't me that was seeing a big wall of text in the each category section. This is making my eyes hurt. Being serious.

**Firefox** · 11-10-2011

Yes and there is no point of preview text because we have been able to do it for years with a mouseover. And the mouseover has the exact same text so there is no point to it anyways.

Oh god, please listen to this man. It's great that you're actually trying to refresh the site, but some things have been counter productive as of late.

**LfCpS3** · 11-10-2011

Having what the thread contains under the thread title is a bit too much IMO, looks very clustered and is not better than what we have previously.

Maybe have like 3 to 4 words max of what the thread contains would be better ,like the gta forums.
