New sidebar

[bM3w]

The new "iBar" sucks

[susiwong]

Normally I like bars.
Especially late at night.
Unfortunately this is not the case here.

It's a forum to most of us, so having the latest posts available at first glance, even without logging in, is crucial imho.
I stop by every few hours during breaks and log in as soon as I see some interesting topic / post.
And more often than not I use the sidebar to keep track of a few interesting threads at the same time ...
And the big icons are "nonsense" in the original meaning of the word.

Please shoot for more posts information, not less.
And leaving a tiny bit of space between the list and the following ads (which most adblock anyway, at least I do) wouldn't hurt either to keep the list from being cut off.

Ymmv,
susiwong

I hate to see the faces of some strangers staring at me from each page I open! And they're always the same!

And all those blinky-blinky gizmos that are trying to turn me into a cash-spending zombie!!!

Adblock here too....

Where's the designer in all this ? In most sites when there's a change someone is happy to put their hand up and defend their work. Lame

I've noticed that not only do the new postings disappear behind the ads but the entire section seems to be doing that here

[edit] Now they seemed to have stabilized--what the bleepity bleep did they do here?

It does work better from my iPhone - I can see the logic in that

Finally the mouseover has gone too for access to recent posts etc

I really love KVR. And I never complain about anything but this sidebar....

SRY guys, this is a no go!

+1

+100. This new one is pure shit.

I noticed the issue with the last post being cut in the middle is fixed.
Now make more posts visible please and I'll be fine.

i think the new sidebar is pretty sexy
what i don't like is that forum posts are cut off from an ad

[Shabdahbriah]

I have just changed my preferences in the "members area" to "Show Forum Posts in the Side Bar" and "Don't Cycle Tabs" but it acts randomly: in some pages it follows my new preferences but in others it keeps cycling.

Yeah its doing it for me too - I click on the posts tab and next thing I know it reverts to one of the others

I logged out and then logged in again and everything works fine now.

Cool, I'll try that. thanks

Also, mt preferred browsing method was to read down the news items, and then read up the latest posts, but since the annoying tabs are only at the top, I now have to read down the news, scroll back up, click the tab for latest posts... frustrating.

I bookmarked the "Latest Posts" page, rather than the "Home page" - So here's another negative vote for the new sidebar...

[musikmachine]

I thought i'd been hacked! Another nay from me, preferred the old layout.

I don't like the new font, looks like font smoothing had been disabled. I think we should band together and protest at kvr hq.

This is dire, do not like it at all. It was absolutely fine the way it was

[dreamkeeper]

I noticed the issue with the last post being cut in the middle is fixed.

Not really... it depends on the zoom level (at least in FF).


And yeah, those bubble icons are ridiculous. At least make them smaller and maybe different ones for the main forums, so they'd serve a purpose.

And I'd like to have some of the dope the webdesigner had...


EDIT: Ha! Nice... it was changed while I was typing - but still the cut-off entries.
