hi, i guess it wonā€™t lol i am suspecting thereā€™s nothing that u can really do anyway, if they had been really willing to change it would have been done already ā€¦ by the way the new forums is bringing very good features to the table, the inly thing is the way it is organized, still a bit difficult to use after a good while now ā€¦ time will tell if they change it a bit in the future ā€¦

I am disappointed with the UI Design that execute well, its totally changed and all the bright white color isnā€™t soothing for my eyes, The good part is the new fucntionalites added on the forum i like that, but the overall forum loose its old Grand Look literally, even i was the frequent user of old forum but after the NEW changes its very difficult me to put my time on this forumā€¦ I am so disappointed this forum is much worth for me just because of the new pathetic UI i didnā€™t able to use productively.

Again my suggestion to improve the old forum UIā€¦ the new forum design is totally change that isnā€™t adoptable. Envato is known the world top 100 website, you can see the improvements of google and facebook from last 10 years. they have initiative features and design just bits n bits improve within long time span not suddenly.

I understand even the team of Envato is MUCH MUCH pro then me, but if the end user didnā€™t able to use it productively, then it will not work longer simple.

Iā€™m sorryy for my harsh words, i didnā€™t still submit any design in the marketplace so its clear i have no frustration by the reviewer but i am a regular user of this forum from 4years consistently. what i feel i shared with you.

Thanks

I think it was really good, the OLD forum I mean.
The new forum is BAD, a lot of old members will leave it for shure.
Me e.g

And if the requirement to get a featured track is to name it ā€œINSPIRATIONā€ā€¦well my friendā€¦thatĀ“s the end of creativity.

CHEERS and OFF forum from now on

This forum is now best just to know about Envato latest announcements. Nothing more than that.

I was pretty active before the change, but since then, this is my first comment. The new forum is an absolute disaster.

I donā€™t have a big problem with the layout - although it doesnā€™t feel like a forum much - but with the mess of content from all market places. If before we were desperate for a decent ā€œSearchā€ function in the old forums, but had Google for an alternative, right now as a TF author, itā€™s freakinā€™ hard to simply find only the content thatā€™s interesting for me.

No offence to authors of other markets, but I basically couldnā€™t care less about AJ issues, like they donā€™t care much about TF issues.

This forum is almost an insult to common sense. I couldnā€™t care less about unifying markets. Unify them all you want, but when I want to talk to people with similar interests and products as mine, I donā€™t want to spend half of my day clicking labels and scrolling and isolating relevant topics in a sea of irrelevance.

Best proof this ainā€™t working: last 6 replies from all forums combined are 15min, 42min, 4 hours, 5 hours, 17 hours and 18 hours ago. That say a lot about how much author what to have to deal with these new forums.
