Irritating thing about the new forums

[Damien Thorn]

The little text message that goes across the top on the same line with the buttons causes the page to jump up and down every time it cycles. The problem only occurs if the text it is displaying is long enough to wrap around to a second line. At that point it ‘bombs’ the rest of the page down exactly one line of text. After it clears to display the next message it bumps it back up again. I guess if you have your browser in full-screen mode you won’t notice it since the current messages it is displaying aren’t long enough to wrap. I don’t think it really adds anything to the page and hope it will be turned off soon.

also you when you press the refresh button it now goes back to the home page instead of refreshing the posts. so now you have to click all the way back.

Worse for me is the secret reading of the forums I do at work isn't so secret now - I can't get rid of the huge banner saying "matrixgames". Nothing I do at work qualifies for going to this site.

If you want to refresh the forums page just right-click on the forums and select refreash and it will.

I will look into the page jumping issue as well.

I second this.

The banner makes it hard to be a Matrix customer during business hours

Also, I like reading other sites and using email notification to jump to any new messages on interesting threads.

I used to be able to read the new forum post and use the 'back' button to take me back to the previous website.
Now the 'back' button doesn't work and I find myself trapped in the UV forums.

I definitely do not like this sam-i-am, I do not like this, much like spam.

Wow, that's service! They fixed the text thing by making it wrap and not cause the whole page to jump up and down. They also took of the "Matrix Games" banner, which I hated for the same work reasons stated above. Three cheers for the guys running the web page.

Is the search option now borked ?

"IJN" yielded one result.

Hi all,

I must say that everything now looks at least 2x bigger than before (and much harder to use because of that).

How come the letter sizes (and other stuff as well) are bigger ?

I like the general look but I keep getting Javascript errors and lots of icons don't load.

The News ticker running that causes the page to jump is quickly making the forums unreadable. I also miss have not found again is the search for new posts since last visit that was in the upper right corner. Please turn the ticker off or at least limit the messages to 1 line.
