I like it, even the dislike/agree buttons, but at the same time I sense the system could be abused. There are already people spamming to get more "points" and badges. What is the purpose of all that anyway? The forums have a social network feel to it and the background is in-your-face green. I'm a Negative Nacy but overall, not a bad new forum I suppose
The forum feels very tactile. I like it. It seems to work better in my browser. I don't mind the agree/disagree options; they're interesting. I really like the font (that sounds silly). I can actually see it. Oh how I wish I could set the forum time in my settings. I know I can add +/-whatever GMT blah blah blah, but I'm lazy like that.
I never really used the old forum, but i find this forum to be easy to understand, i like the like and disagree/agree buttons. the colours are pretty very sims 4 cartoon like theme. Overall I like the new forum.

Overwhelming at first cause there was this new look and I was anxious to see what the forums were going to look like. Going to be honest, I am very impressed with the look.
It's funky and jazzy, love the lime green auora around it, it's different than just the plain blue and white version like in TS3 site, it's much easier to post and understand everyone's comments!
I like it! It's easy to use I just haven't gotten used to it yet, whenever I am on a new forum it takes me forever to get used to it haha but this is good.
I'm okay with the agree/disagree buttons... but that may be because I'm already used to them. I regularly visit another set of forums with agree/disagree buttons. I'd like the forum a lot more though if I could figure out how to set the time zones to my own time. Off to play with settings!
I love it! I do feel that maybe the like/dislike could get out of hand down the road; but I really hope that people will use it as a way to show appreciation for helpful posts, etc. Although, this kind of reminds me of the BBS and how they had a system where you can get beneficial Point, I think.. .. or Benes is what everyone called them. Way back -- there was also a "negative" one that would take away the point. However, eventually EAxis got rid of the negative one and kept the Benes.. so people that were actually being helpful could be promoted in the forum. It seems they're going with this system again..
So, we'll see how it goes.
I like the system, but it does worry me. I love the layout and can't wait to see what new features they add, etc. I like how clean it is and how easy it is to add lists, etc to your posts. I haven't tried adding an image to my message but I hope it's easy as well... and maybe they'll add some features where we don't have to upload them to flickr, or photobucket and can just upload from our computers(?) Probably not gonna happen, but just a thought.. I don't mind the image linking.. just wondering what they might do to make it even easier and more "convenient".
The badges are nice -- and I really want to see what they do with our "SimPages". Definitely like the Save Draft button. I don't know how many times I've lost a post caused by some issue with the forum, or my computer randomly losing power momentarily. D;
I really like the new layout. The green is a little hard on the eyes, though. I like the idea of the agree/disagree buttons, but some people will definitely misuse them unfortunately.

yeah, I was hoping to change mine too, though I do like my name but I already chose a new name and was hoping to use my new name on here!
I'd like to be able to change my username though
Yes, I too like how easy it is to upload a picture, instead of always being forced to upload a sim.
So, we'll see how it goes.

Here is the hex codes for the color you want to use http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hexadecimal_color
They sure didn't make it easy, but it can be done.
