I just hate the new post editor "WYSIWYG" it make many errors and i just prefer the old school BB code though it can be useful to copy web content sometime.
 
The quoting system also almost never work and when it work i c'ant edit the quote.
 
And i get these boxes when i post (translator-floating-panel).

Yeah, please give us the choice of not using the WYSIWYG editor. BB code is much better in every aspect, much more versatile and faster. Spell check, quoting posts, and posting photos are also much easier with a text-only interface. Not sure what's the reason for the HTML source code button, but it won't let me do anything I want it to do (for example, I can't even make the font size of my signature smaller). In any case HTML code is too much hassle compared to BB code. (I know I said this all before, sorry for repeating - but I just can't get used to that WYSIWYG box.)

the ads are bigger (forum part more narrow), but overall it doesn't seem much different. as with everything, there will be an adjustment period.

Well, I thought I'd adjust but I just spent some time at the Steve Hoffman forum before coming here and, wow, what a difference using the "old" v-bulletin software. In comparison, I hate this new forum. It's jarring to come here now. I competely dislike this new software. It wastes space and feels like half the functions are missing. Now I'm with those who want to dump it. I suppose if I spent my time SOLELY at headfi I'd get used to it, but one of the miracles of the web is being able to surf through numerous forums, visting different sites. A certain degree of uniformity makes it much more pleasant. Strangely (or not so strangely) most of the forums I visit use V-Bulletin. Now, unfortunately, Headfi does not.

One of the very thing that I hate the new design, it that we missed the click username pop up manual.  What a great idea and so much convenient to PM people.

What dfkt says...
I so miss old trusty BBCode.

I just assumed things would tighten up and improve, but maybe not and I agree Head Fi is not as nice as it was.

 

[Graphicism]

Well they listened... the main font is now smaller and the background is no longer white. The only thing now is remove the reviews from the right column and replace with subscribed threads/user CP.

id give chrome a shot if i were you, its JavaScripting performance really shows its colors on the new head fi. and if you use the dev center channel its even better because they just updated the JS engine.

You sure can edit a post! To quote click the single quotation ( " ), not the double ( " " ). When the blue box appears in the bottom reply box, you can edit as easy as any other code. For deleting pictures, just click the picture in the quotation and press backspace.

There's still much improvement to be done imo.

I agree. Also, I didn't read through this whole thread, but was there any mention of why the change was made in the first place? Why fix what's not broken?
