Well how bout' just like a straight-up "No" option on the vote there..

 

[Martin Andrews]

No. It's fine as it is

 

[JimmySun]

just feel a little old, wondering how others feel.

My opinion is it's fine as is. @Paul Buonopane does a great job with custom tweaks and other IT matters.

Well we all have our days..

I think Np's interface is more complex to view/run than we give credit for, a lot we take for granted to be sure.

What do you mean by interface?

Do you refer to their use of XenForo forum software? The only bug I notice is that often when someone likes your post in a thread and also replies to that same thread that you are watching, you receive only the like notification. In any case XenForo software is set there’s not much Paul B or anyone else outside of XenForo may do to alter its core. There are hacks/modifications that may be added but otherwise it’s set. It remains just a XenForo forum.

I think @Jimmysun is only referring to the theme/style, not the underlying software or functionality.

I voted no...too many sites trying to conform to the 'trend' in streamlining. I don't have any desire to try and learn a new interface, theme and/or style. Lets leave well enough alone.

Just refer to the UI design and some sort of dynamic pop up window.

I kind of miss Rob Monsters "This thread is stupid" among options to vote for. That should be included in every poll.

If so I’d use as stock XenForo a theme as possible. If what we have here is stock, I’d stick with it.

First time making a poll, it's a good idea to put a "This thread is stupid"

You know, the experience might be different depending on your device. Wholly recommend everyone just get a desktop, then no one has to change a thing.

The general appearance is close, but we've been gradually modernizing portions of it over time. In particular, any aspects of the stock style that are likely to lead to decreased performance or usability are liable to be changed. But overall, it still looks pretty close to stock.

Smartphones are ubiquitous these days; more and more NamePros members are using the site from their phones. It's usually not a huge issue, but it does mean we need to do additional testing for any changes. Legacy browsers are a far more serious problem than smartphones.

It looks fine now imo, you should have seen it many years ago.

other than trying to find the specific thread you are looking for, its an excellent interface.

some days ago I was looking for any discussion about tokens.com thread in the search bar I couldn't be satisfied with the search results, I kind of remember I saw some people were discussing it maybe I was in the illusion.

My experience has been that any modifications to skins do not improve performance they just are visual changes and if anything lead to issues as the forum software or php is upgraded over time. I would stick to a 100% stock theme.
