We track the users that us the new format vs the old format. On average 95% of the users on TOTV are using the new format.

That being noted, we value the opinion of ALL users and we want to make the user experience as high of quality as possible. Obviously anyone with a computer or cell phone understands that technology advances and the software and development of the software has to advance with it as well. TOTV is extremely custom coded and we do not have the benefit of plug and play.

If we are provided with images, screen shots and specific suggestions on how to improve the experience on the website we would gladly look to implement changes. Feedback like 'bad', 'don't like it', 'sucks', 'won't use it', etc unfortunately does not provide the feedback required to make change and improvements.

We appreciate all the user support and feedback and value the time you spend on the website.

I've been using the new version since it was new. I don't remember what advantage the old version may have had, so this one is good for me.

Some of the things I don't like about the new version are:
The stark white background. It's tough on the eyes after awhile. The old color scheme was much easier to look at.

I usually hit the "Today's Posts" link. The list it presents isn't as well defined as it used to be. Meaning the lines between each thread aren't as well defined. Everything just kind of runs together.

The green menu box that pops up on an android phone is too tiny to be able to use and very difficult and annoying to get rid of.
On an Ipad the the classifieds present poorly so that you can't even read the descriptions or make out the pictures.
It does not appear that the app is ever tested on mobile devices.

In a nutshell, in the old version, you can see a lot more of the various topics with a LOT LESS scrolling.

In the old version, you can on the home page quickly look at the latest posts in ALL the forums without going to each forum.

If you sincerely appreciate user feedback and want to make a huge improvement, bring back the old version.

I don't see too many people in the 4 pages of replies say they love the new version. That's why I find that 95% number a tad hard to believe

That is not a unanimous opinion.

Certainly not "unanimous", but the "vast majority", and I would say better than 95%, in this thread want to keep the old version.

Just because we don’t like it doesn’t mean we don’t use it. They said the old version would eventually go away so I accepted that to mean switching was inevitable.

MS-DOS continues to be used around the world and is responsible for many embedded applications. MS-DOS may be not a very important operating system anymore, but it still has value and is used in many applications.
