Definitely something I don't miss.

Ah, I thought that was for the default way you receive threads to which you subscribe. Thanks!

 

[Leros]

I miss nested quoting. But there should be some limit. Say a max of 5 nested quotes with the innermost one saying "[snipped]". Its hard to follow multiple conversations in a single thread with only one layer of quoting.

 

[hclarkjr]

i miss the dark theme

 

[dighn]

the confused smilie
the shocked eek smilie

Exactly. Quoting one poster at a time is dumb. No way to converse.

It isn't that tough.

 

[ed21x]

why are there three different ways to quote something?

Were you Elite?

I was a Diamond.....in the rough.

The timewarps were annoying at first, but they became endearing after a while. Fusetalk was also a lot cleaner and more professional looking than vB. I do miss all images being turned off by default though...

 

[sao123]

1) i miss popup windows for profiles, reply, quotes, etc
2) i miss the my recent posts page, threads ive started page, and favorites threads page
3) i miss the inverted highlight feature, and there still is no strikethrough.
4) i miss thread summaries

5) i miss multiple polls per thread

6) i miss all the AT avatars and the light bulb indicator
7) i miss image free + unformatted text + low white space posts

in summary: bring back FT... PLEASE

 

[Ballatician]

The overall look mostly, the way most of the space was not wasted.

Posting a few quick replies here makes me think that we should this "AnandTech Forums > Social > Off Topic" little thing at the bottom as well.

 

[Dualist]

I've missed the entire look and feel of the forums.

 

[JoeBleed]

- Reply box not opening in a new, small window.
- Lack of left nav.
- Way too much whitespace

Looks like you, as well as several others, got the left nav. space. but with so many people, yourself included, complaining about wasted whitespace, why in the hell would you want that waste of space on the left? Granted, in FT at least i was able to make it go way, don't know if that is an option in VB or not as places i go that use VB don't use a left navigation pane.

To me its worth an extra click to navigate the forums to not be wasting that wide column on the left. Maybe on wide screens it isn't that big of a deal, but on my 4:3 screen it sucks.

One more thing I miss (actually two) is the lack of "Next" and "Previous" buttons on the bottom of the page. Yes, there's the little > < buttons, but I still prefer the larger "Next" and "Previous" buttons.

I also H-A-T-E the current selection of avatars. PLEASE bring back the full selection of retarded FT avatars, or permit some limited custom avatars. The crap from Dragon's Fury sucks.
I've used this one as my personal avatar on many boards for years:
