Here are my thoughts
1. What is the number one thing you absolutely HATE about AFN? What sucks about this place?
Nothing I hate, the only thing I thought was better on the old forum was the layout/contrast. I found it easier to see the separation between posts, quotes and likes with the old layout. The default font could also be slightly larger.
2. Do you like the new site upgrade? What DON'T you like about it? Be specific.
I love the new site, so far every feature I found is better. The admins have done a great job moving everything over. I feel the picture upload is much easier and faster with the new software. I also like the new features like tagging, alerts when someone quotes you etc. I like the profile drop-down menu where everything is easily accessible. I like the way it looks when you click on a user. Overall the forum has a more modern feel to it than before. I'm sometimes cranky when it comes to change but not in this case. Sure, you have to spend a little time re-learning how to do certain things but once you do I feel it works better than before.
3. Is it easy to find your way around the site? Can you find what you're looking for?
I think it's pretty easy. Took me a little while to find everything again as certain forums moved around a little.
4. Do you feel like you are getting the help that you need?
Yes, absolutely.
5. What's the first thing you would change (if you could) to make the site more enjoyable?'
If someone with a good eye for graphic design/layout could tweak the current look a little bit to improve the contrast that would be great. I'm personally useless at that stuff, I can only say what I prefer as a user once I see it.
Another thing, I don't know how to check who is moderating a certain forum. Is there a way to check that already?
Lastly, is there a way to restore the pictures? Not from your side but from my side. I have all the pics I just don't know how to upload them and make them visible in my old threads again? If there is a reasonable way to do it I would be interested in that, like if someone wrote a short how-to guide.
