How do you like the new look?

[tonymcclellan]

The title says it. Most members can see that the site has been updated immensely, so we would like to know what you think.

Ill answer the question of why. There was too much separation between men and women that was not needed, some categories that didnt receive much attention and could be combined, but mostly number 1. We were keeping with the myths of differences between how men and women approach weight loss and weight training. Its gonna take some getting used to, there will be some more fine tuning, but we hope everyone takes a liking to it.

I think it looks good. Removes some of the redundancy of topics...

The merged sections should move more quickly now throughout the day.

consider this a Beta version, as I'm sure over the next couple weeks we will make some more changes, so any input is most appreciated.

Firstly, I am still distresses and utterly lost.

Somehow, I imagine I will survive

I think its a good call to be honest.

I must admit that Boys Only sounds a bit

I think its good that the weightloss forum is moved to be asexual now, as I was always refering guys to it as some of the girls on here have a lot of information they can share that might be missed, so thats cool.

Personally, I think Announcements could come under its own blue header right at the top under "Forum Administration" or something.

I'm loving the Injuries bit, might come in useful soon

Overall, I'd say its 'tidied up' the site quite a bit. And we don't seem to have lost much information.

is there something wrong with "boys only". i don't have any problems with that ... do you?? j/k

i wanted to have a "general" category for other things that pertain specifically to men / women, but i couldn't think of title

 

[AJP]

It's gonna take a while to get used to, I don't like it right now just because I'm not used to it of course (and I'm semi-lost)...but I'll survive

 

[tryin2bafitmoma]

hmm overall i like it, i dont particularly like girls only boys only not for the same reasons as fly, because that issue doesnt scare me, but just because its a bit sexist. nice job overall though...i like the forum one way or another.

 

[SkianS40]

maybe you could go with "Men Specific Discussion"/"Women Specific Discussion"?

 

[LeiYunFat]

Oh you mean like Porn/Emotional Crap?

Hahahhahahah

But seriously, I think there's too much stuff in the first section. I know there's a whole issue of functionality and whatnot, but I've never been a fan of change . I'm just not used to looking at the first section at all, hahahahahha

 

[clipse]

I like it. I'm still new here so getting used to it won't be difficult.

 

[Merciless]

Kinda confusing, first section is massive. But I guess only time will tell.

lmao @ fly

 

[davidjr74]

I don't like it. I thought it was fine the way it was.

 

[LeanBean]

I think it's more organized this time. I like it.

 

[ShaftedTwice]

I think that it is better this way, I just need to get used to it now.

 

[allcdnboy1]

i think you are right about the size of the first section ... it will probably be split into two ... somehow. I will be working with the mods about what to do with the boys / girls ... might get dropped as I'm not sure what would go in there, but i figured there MUST be some things that are gender specific as far as fitness??

 

[LeanBean]

The "girl talk" and "boy talk" thing should be removed...and IF added back, then do it when there are a ton more members. I've noticed that it seems to work better on much more populated forums.

I think the gender specified areas serve the purpose to get people accustomed to fitness through ideas they already have in their mind, ie, light weight training for chicks. But once they start reading and posting, they start to understand the reality.

I hope I make sense, I am still feeling ill.

I agree 100%. They can just use the regular lounge.

Lei, I think you're right (sorta understood you lol) There are some things that could be merged, but it doesn't matter much.

 

[allcdnboy1]

i'm a bit confused ... where are these "boys" and "girls" forums that you guys are speaking of??
