You've ruined this site
Hey guys.
I dunno about you, but the big changes that's been made to this site (4.0) are dreadful. Why change it after so many years to something as bad as this? It was perfectly fine before this. Please say you'll change it back..

or actually give them one :O)
you didn't suggest anything - besides "change it back to exactly what it was". which you know is never gonna happen. try to be at least a bit constructive and mention the things you can live with and how exactly things could be improved so you would like the site more.
The thing is that Crossfire 3 simply didn't have the code base to grow anymore. Crossfire 4 is on an entire new level and should be far easier to maintain. Give us a few days and most of the bugs that are currently there will be fixed.
oh and it lags and i want to be able to see what are the new comments and what i just read and i cant even see who replied to who
most annoying part is slow loadtimes, xboxhueg comments, and the layout feeling messy and confusing.
That's atleast my opinion. I just find the site harder to scroll into and to work fast with.
I'm sure that with some tweaking that you're obviously doing right now, it'll become ok.
is veel nicer zo.
I like my pages multicultural.
I have visited this site on a pretty much daily basis for the past 6 and a half years. A year or so before that without a user here. I have always enjoyed sometimes spending hours here just reading journals, forum topics and news posts, commenting and stuff. At the moment I won't be doing any of that. I just don't want to be here and I will lurk somewhere else. Don't get me wrong, at some point I am willing to give this update a chance, I will try to get used to it. But right now, I just can't spend over 5 minutes here. It looks way too white, the overall layout is pretty shit and the comments, journals and everything just looks wrong. This is not crossfire. CF2->CF3 wasn't half as painful as this. Though I wasn't fond of the changes back then either, I accepted them rather quickly. If this won't be drastically changed, I can't see myself adapting. I guess you lost a shitload of active users with this move. I understand that CF3, as it was, was as good as it was going to get and you have to be innovative to keep up with the competition, but you should have thought about the consequences of such dramatic changes. You could have at least created a layout that was somewhat similar to the CF3, not something completely and utterly disgusting, like this.
Sorry, but I am a bit disappointed, because the internet became a whole lot more boring for me.
My very first thought.
OH OKAY
there will be less time wasted, maybe we can find more useful things to do when bored now :b
gg
thers shitloads of bugs tho...
(and try to get used to this, as altho im trying to stay positive its a huge fucking change)
- add more colors to the header; some banner or whatever
- add navigation bar on the left - put the serious stuff in there such as news, tutorials, events, etc
- right bar for 'spam related' content; extend the journal and forum list on the right side
- add some colors to the main area
= best CF there ever was; including typical CF-feeling imo
And if it is for you, it's going to be fixed as soon as possible; just give it some time
no problem with the old site but cf 4.0 meh, clicking a button and nothing happens. 5 seconds later some ajax start working.
so thats another point I dislike about cf 4.0: the mixture of ajax and non ajax. It just don't feel right if one half of teh page is using ajax and the other one don't.
it was slow yesterday, so maybe the performance fixes helped a bit
Maybe it should switch instantly and if something takes time to load a wait icon will take its place.

Certain pages like activity are incredibly useful yet very costly in terms of performance.
the tabs in the profile are using ajax, the tabs in the inbox aren't
Makes me want to punch a seal.
Better lay out!
