Ok Shirly, (soz pb) why have we got two different sections merged into one? Why is Movie Name Game within General Chat?

Just looked again and the forum is totally f**ked - threads are appearing under all the wrong sections - there are so many in 'General chat' that should be elsewhere as before

Surely they won't leave games and "general" chat merged!

EDIT: Actually, looking at it all, it does make sense for a company such as Freeola to change the forums as such.

I still think it's a strange idea to merge forums when many other chat sites are trying to do just the opposite.

I guess it makes sense if you look at it purely from how many new posts are being created now, but surely the changes are supposed to bring new people, not scare them away unless they are just interested in games?

Just tried again. Had a good look round and I haven't a clue where threads are or where I am, which is not unusual these days! I post in one and it appears in another. Threads are definately mixed up. Still like design and colours, especially 'posting section'. But please give me the navigation and threads in the correct 'areas' :-)

Like the new layout but don't know where I am! Threads and posts seem to appear under two different sections ie general chat is also in gaming?

There are so many changes to the site it is unbelieveable. Some really good changes and by the sound of things, some not so good changes.

I think it would be a brilliant idea if a whole list of the changes that have been performed were created and stickied for a few weeks and I guess that could be the best place to leave feedback (if not, maybe edit this thread).

I know GAD has now been decreased to 2 a week, but it's clever how Gameaday has een renamed to have the abbrieviation to GAD...

Well, it still shows the 3 forums that don't exist anymore. The Top Posters page also shows the 3 forums that don't exist and the moderators of said forums.

Define 'not right'. Apart from linking to the old, old forum design it seems up-to-date-ish to me.

Passed the hover-over text issue to McLong

The 'See Who's Online' page, which is my bookmark, is not right. It needs correcting.

Also, in the Games forum, if you move the mouse pointer over the little 360 etc pics, they always say PS3.
