Is this what the scouting party brought from the Øresund?

I did not like it at first put the more I play around it seems to be a little easier on my phone

by **ShoreSlayer** » Tue Oct 21, 2014 6:40 pm

Haven't checked on phone. It looks pretty lame on pc but I don't care wtf it looks like.

What I'm wondering is if anyone else is able to locate a 'Read unread posts' button

I make big use of that one after long absences

Changes would look much better with some announcenonannouncements though

It's off to the left-hand side on the PC version.

Not liking the new layout on my PC.

by **bodomdragon** » Wed Oct 22, 2014 12:25 am

Phone = much better. PC = not really happy about it

by **Memnoch** » Wed Oct 22, 2014 12:30 am

Yeah, I tested the forum on my phone as well, and it's a lot better now that the pages are scaled to fit screen.

Not liking the new look. I killed my PC recently so I only have my phone at the moment. Probably won't stick around very long with this layout.

The goggles, they do nothing!

Since the birth of 70000TONS OF METAL, The World's Biggest Heavy Metal Cruise, our official discussion forum has been the ultimate destination for many of our survivors to discuss, critique, and praise 70000TONS OF METAL and more.

THE BRIDGE is THE online forum where survivors have the opportunity to meet new cruisers from around the world, long before we set sail.

Don't want to sail alone? Our forum's RECRUIT A CABIN MATE section is the place to go!

Like it loud? Hang out in the ENGINE ROOM to discuss all things Metal! If that's not enough, go OFF COURSE to discuss everything else!

Why are you reading all of this? Because as of today the official 70000TONS OF METAL discussion forum is mobile friendly!

I'm sure this announcement came from the scouting party crossing the Øresund.

by **Moonstaff** » Wed Oct 22, 2014 7:03 am

Just joining the fray, so the new format is just... the format, to me.

They didn't find any bands yet but hey, threre was a web developer hanging around

Website · by **Azazel101** » Wed Oct 22, 2014 8:16 am

Much more phone friendly
Still have not been on the PC

A new look needs a new band!!!

by **onenight** » Wed Oct 22, 2014 1:56 pm

Hell, I thought my computer was fucked up. I don't like it. If we're going to have change, how about a band announcement, that would be something different.

Some of the red tones look really weird ,this was done to make it phone friendly I suspect.Also I willing to bet there are some anti-spamming measures put in also.No more kitchen info

by **SaraMarie** » Wed Oct 22, 2014 3:39 pm

As a web developer with alignment obsessions, the new layout kind of makes me want to cry.

by **mindgrind** » Wed Oct 22, 2014 4:35 pm

well the people that were planning on a band today

now you can bitch from the bed, shitter,the kitchen... thanks skip

by **Razor Ramon** » Wed Oct 22, 2014 5:58 pm

I decided to stick it out, dude better fucking deliver. I get the feeling I will just be getting more and more pissed off..

by **Jöhn&Melönius** » Wed Oct 22, 2014 6:27 pm

Well at least now the lack of information is more mobile friendly, but I don't own a phone or tablet, so I don't give a fuck. Like to know who is playing though, that would be nice, some meaningful information.

Thanks for the tips guys but I guess I didn't make my question clear enough. I don't want to view ALL unread posts, I want the little red/orange dot next to each thread I used to click that would take me directly to the first unread post in that specific thread. All the current buttons do is give me a long list of all the threads that have new posts in them but don't take me to the first newest post in the threads (hoping that makes sense)

Long gone are the days when I actually read every single entry in every single thread here haha

Maybe I need to contact webmaster to have this feature reinstated?

The paper icon takes you to the first unread post.

This layout sucks.

Promises me it will be different this year.
Lies make baby Jesus cry.
You get one chance.

The new forum appearance hurts my eyes, which is metal, I guess.

by **ironhorse** » Thu Oct 23, 2014 3:11 pm

Since it`s my birthday today I was actually hoping for a real band announcement, since it has been practically a full month since Artillery. Also a day after the $100 fee deadline I assumed piles of news. Silly me and my wishful greed. Oh well. Next cruise will be my 3rd and I know UMC will deliver as usual. Still have my balls crossed for Bolt Thrower but King Diamond would be so sweet also. I already have my ears full with line up so far but i believe 5-6 more thrash/death metal bands could make this the best cruise so far. Since the scouting party is still in lockdown near Finland, I`ve been waiting to see Swallow The Sun since they opened for Accept \ Kreator tour, so that would be nice also
Cheers

by **Razor Ramon** » Thu Oct 23, 2014 3:29 pm

I wish Swallow The Sun would play again too so I would at least have some friends onboard but they played last year.

Dude I Think you are going to win the award for grumpiest person on cruise. Everytime I read a post its like the 70000 tons Grinch. "Bah-Humbug, I *guess* I will go on the cruise, I mean its probably going to blow but fuck it, I'm in...I guess.. fucking andy..grrrrr" . I'm just poking fun at you but seriously your posts crack me up dude.

by **acidbasement** » Fri Oct 24, 2014 9:15 am

He's actually really happy in real life. Never complains about anything, helps old ladies carry their groceries across the street, etc.

A cruise full of bands I don't give a shit about that's going to a place I never wanted to go to, hell yeah!

..at least I'll get a cool award.

You're acting like you've been drafted to the US army during the Vietnam war. You know the cruise isn't mandatory, right?
I think your award might be that you get thrown in the pool after a year of entitled whining about your first-world problems.

Me dropping $3000 gives me every right to bitch. Sure, I didn't need to book blind right? Well I did need to book blind unless I want to pay for a fucking suite. Every year there has been enough bands I want to see that I wanted to go, so I decided to book. So far, for me, there is not a damn thing to be excited about. I am not going to lose my shit over a bunch of bands that play right near my house for $20 twice a year. There are still 29 more bands so all my posts could change to happy posts, if this guy ever announces any more bands..
