AGREED. It should be in board preferences, please.

It would be nice if we can choose the old system or new system through board preferences. Maybe have this theme the default though for newbies. I like where the buttons on the profile are but I wish they were smaller because it does look way too bulky and takes away from some of the creative profiles on here. But the report button on posts looks a lot better and re-naming the foe system was nice. Thanks for the update. (:

Also, it would be cool to opt out of having some buttons on my profile since I don’t have any dress-ups, scenes, or gallery posts. So, it’s kind of just three really huge unnecessary buttons on my profile that I don’t really like. When they were at the bottom it was easier to ignore, ya know?

I don't mind the new profile buttons. What kind of bothers me is the giant report button. It feels sort of...hostile. It's given equal importance to the "quote" button, but one of those features is hopefully used a lot more often than the other.

The new buttons look great! Hopefully they’ll help newer users with their clarity. Great update!

I don't like the new changes either. I feel like the site is out of order. Some things are small and then the profiles have huge buttoms. The large stuff is intimidating. I feel like that if the site is to really be changed like this it has to be done evenly to where everything flows with itself. As others have said I would definitely appreciate it if it was able to be changed in board preferences.

    please, this would be so much better for the ones who want the old layout.

I'm trying to get used to it, but having the report button be bigger than the actual title of the thread is so jarring. I feel like I need to scroll out all the time.

Artist's exaggeration (but this is what it feels like...):

Can we put them somewhere else so I can read the post? Something like this? (In hindsight I realize this probably isn't how PHBB software works, but maybe?)

I don't know why but the giant pink (red?) button is just so distracting.

I'm glad it's not just me! I like your suggestion. I also think that having it at the bottom of the post and/or slightly smaller would be good too.

I'm so glad I'm not the only one who feels this way.. as a friend put it: having the report button so large and red feels like when there's a police car behind you on the highway and you still panic even though you know you've done nothing wrong

Honestly whilst the first thing noticed were the profile buttons (which i personally dislike) but now the report button is really bugging me too. I really like how its easier to identify as a repot button but it feels agressive due to how it looks of more importance to the quote button (in my opinion) . Obviously the report button is important but it probably shouldn't be the only thing i can see when i veiw a post. My eyes keep gravitating towards that report button because its bold, red and especially really stands out on the theme i'm using.

I think changing the color to the same color as the quote might fix the whole eye gravitating towards the report button thing, which i know might appear to be defeating the point of making the report button easier to identity but honestly i think just having 'report' in visual text should be enough?

i'd love to opt out of those options on my profile! i feel it takes away from my interests & signature when viewing my profile. I don't like how the first thing you see is those buttons- the only one of personal importance to me is the gallery so everything else really isn't important.
