Very cool. Not sure why we need emoticons with machine guns, but ok.
09/14/2011
I'm loving this!
big forum hug! Loving this smiley too.
Oh and this!
One more. I promise...

This is my new smiley for when things I want are out of stock.

Mostly okay. The new emoticons are all hideous though. Talk about overkill

I agree we don't really need them, but they were in the set... and there was not really any reason to remove them either.

I think as long as people don't fill up their posts with the emoticons, everything will be awesome. I like them and think they're cute. I don't know how much I will use them myself, but still. Plus, there's always adblockers and such we can use if we don't like them.

Since the forum changes the email notification has been offline. It's been 4 or 5 days now and it's making me batty trying to remember the reviews to which I asked questions about and having to search for them everyday.
I have gotten 3 emails from Eden since Sat. I usually get about 75-100 a day. Email is the only way I am kept up on the threads I post in, my review comments, and back in stock items (among other things) when I am away and can not log into Eden.
Can we get an update please?

75-100 emails a day! WOW!
Once things get corrected on this, there will be a post on the forums.

I agree that shrunken text makes reading a PIA for me. So many of us are using netbooks it is now inconvenient.

The only one I'm sad about, and I know it won't grow on me:
If your browser is shrunken from a standard laptop size, the words don't automatically wrap to fit the browser window like they used to in the old forum. Fixed widths mean that people with huge screens have a lot of wasted space, but more importantly---people with smaller screens (like netbook users, and multitaskers) now have to scroll back and forth many times to read a whole post.
I hope this gets changed back for the convenience of many users. less

Also, seems since the changes all my prior alerts were deleted or is this just temporary?
Being alerted to certain product reviews and some posts was very helpful.
What happened to the EF alert on specials each day?

Sorry, but I just had to do it! I am soooo in love with these smileys!

Can we have a user preference for the style of the forum display?
The changes give the forum "the style of a conversation" but it still intrinsically is a message board and not a conversation. I dislike the wasted screen real estate; the right column for avatars is mostly empty in threads where people aren't replying. I'd also prefer less blank space between posts. Decoration has its aesthetic value but once the novelty has worn off, I'd like to focus on reading content. Having to scan to the right column decreases reading efficiency. Futhermore, if the website ever supports nested quotes or quoting multiple users, those changes could complicate the visual metaphor of a conversation.
Before anyone comments that the new style is just a change to become accustomed to, message boards are common on multiple websites. I know what works for me and I have a good idea of what works in general user interface design. Software like vBulletin and phpBB have been around long enough that there's no need to reinvent the wheel. I'd rather see changes like having more versatile text markup and having links in the discussion listings that take me directly to the first unread post in a thread. less

The one plus about EF's forums is that there are no signatures. Please please please never implement signatures.

Thank you especially for adding the timers to the forums.... I have a couple that I would have been more than happy to have put timers on.
09/15/2011
Yayy!! Love the new changes so far! Naturally, I must try out some of the new smilies now.
09/15/2011
Those smileys are starting to creep me out.

I totally think someone should design and build EF special ones (like with toys).
And I agree, potstickers! I'm not a fan of 'signatures' on posts. It would take up SO much space.

I agree with this 100%. This is definitely the most confusing forum I've ever visited. If the content wasn't so wonderful, I likely would have run away screaming, and I can't help but wonder if other potential users have likewise not joined the forums because of it.

I'm not sure if anyone else has issues, but sometimes I get a little over-whelmed looking at all of the different sub-forums within the forums. Though, I have no idea how to make it better. less

Also agree here. Being able to go directly to unread posts would be great, though my dream change would be a vBulletin implementation.

I'll second that! I absolutely cannot stand going into a forum and seeing signatures half a mile long with pictures and countdown clocks and crap. It's just annoying and takes up so much space.

On a side-note, is anyone else noticing that the emoticons don't seem to show up in the quoted text for replies? Or maybe it's just my computer...

No, that's on purpose. It was one of the last forum changes before this one. The images showing up in quotes took up WAY too much space and made pages take forever to load, especially on the photo-sharing threads.
