Great Lakes - What the ... what happened to BF?

Bikeforums.net is a forum about nothing but bikes. Our community can help you find information about hard-to-find and localized information like bicycle tours, specialties like where in your area to have your recumbent bike serviced, or what are the best bicycle tires and seats for the activities you use your bike for.

WOW! The #NEW# BF with the ability to embed video at the 'Titanium Membership Level'.
Uh, guys, this isn't new technology. I'm surprised that everyone still can't do it.
Now it's bigger font's, more ad space, less text space. :notamused:
If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

"Welcome to cutting edge" it says on top of this page.
Better emoticons have been available on other forums for years and I already mentioned the embedded video thing.
Ugh. Let me choose which format I have to look at.

IB is trying to make money off being able to embed video. That's why everyone can't do it.....

I don't like it - it's not as easy to use as it was.

Not great, that's for sure. Never been a fan of vBulletin anyways, but this is "clunky" to say the least. Once over the learning curve and if they implement some UI fixes, shouldn't be too bad, but still won't be a fan. Glad adblock exists, but leaves the UI a bit messed up (lots of whitespace and I hate a non-centered board).
I would have voted to moving to IPB or even SMF than this latest VB :)
Why did they have to change this? this is not what I paid for!

I don't know... this is definitely not as compact as the old bikeforums. Lot's of scrolling to read threads.

OK...this sucks now. I am getting a headache, can't find anything, and half the stuff doesn't work. Guess I'll go do my job now.
