Now that VDR has had the new look for a few days, I'm trying to decide which is better. But I see the main focus has been the appearance of VDR. I admit that appearance does count but it wasn't the main issue. A few points:
1 - We all agree that we wish all posts were the size of the Quick Reply box where it's stretched across the screen and the blank white side was nonexistent.
2 - Are the other suggestions still being attended to?
3 - Would the owner of VDR (BJ or whomever) consider getting rid of Jupiter and going with Invision or someone else? I'm guessing, and I could be wrong, that the changes most of us want are not options but are set accordingly by Jupiter.
4 - How many members are really going to leave VDR if their particular complaints aren't corrected - for lack of a better term - and alternative results aren't achieved?
5 - Perhaps a new thread should be started, called 'Tips to use the new VDR' or something. This may prevent repeated questions/answers/suggestions. Just a thought.
6 - If so much focus is on this thread, how much is happening elsewhere in VDR? This is a rhetorical question. I don't mean for people to actually give data on this. The point remains is this, perhaps... "This is the new appearance of VDR. We hope you like it and will remain a part of our site. We understand that you may or may not like the new look but we have upgraded as best we can. Please do not let this become an issue for you and deter further visits here. We'd like to keep our focus on the quality of the site and what we offer."
I think the new look is fine, whether or not the white space remains. I noticed the new titles we were given and I like it. I'm not very good at being creative so "Virtual Intern" works for me just fine.
I also think we should lay off the staff, owner, Mods, etc...about the appearance for awhile. The white space is there. We are all aware of it. How about comments on the other changes?
