I yo-yoed every day for a year, last year but I haven’t yo-yoed in a few months now. I need to get back on track because I have forgotten the steps on how to do a lot of tricks!
PS I really hate the new look of the forum!!

I actually prefer the format of the old forum as well but this is supposed to be an upgrade and most people seem to be liking it so

The new format does take a while to get used to. At first I was super skeptical, but the functionality is better over the old forum in most ways.

Ps… I really like the New Forum layout.
I will readily admit that the first moment I landed in the New Forum; I wondered if somebody had been given the wrong medication?
What were they thinking; I pondered?
Then; once the intuitive factor kicked in; I realized and recognized all of Andres’ hard work; was a Masterful design.
Comparing old to new. The old board made it easy for people to keep a narrow focus. I am a perfect example. I would click on the main general category, vids and BST. And seldom even check out other parts of the Forum. Once in a while I would check the Kendama section; just to see if there had been a post in the last 6 months. No doubt my narrow interests did nothing to allow any possibly useful skill toy enlightenment.
The New Forum has much better ‘flow’. I(me personally) am not a speed reader. I cant do whole page captures. I know it is possible because I know people that do it. I know people that read books like they are looking for pictures; it’s amazing. But I do multi sentence captures. I can pretty glance at several sentences at once and move on… So to me; the New layout allows me to roll right down the page and have the opportunity and curiosity to click on posts I would not have even been aware of before.
When posts were categorized; if you didn’t bother to click on a certain category; you were completely unaware of anything that might actually be interesting/and/or/informative.
Now; I can better understand and appreciate varied input from the multitude of people that step up to add something that may have been completely missed before.
As I already mentioned; the New layout didn’t click with me instantly.
Now… I get it.
I understand they are still working out a few kinks. And no doubt somewhere in the World; there is an artist that just keep going back to a painting to add just ‘one more brush stroke’.

That is precisely how I used it before, and continue to use it now by setting my preferences to filter on Category rather than New or Latest. Just my preferences…

Can you be specific about what it is you don’t like about the new forums? Maybe we can offer tips, like @jhb8426 said about setting your default page to categories if you prefer that.

I think it’s just the color that I don’t like. It’s like reading a book… so much white.

Yeah - I need to have the ‘night’ mode up - I’ll get that done.

What is the last trick you learned or are working on?! 
Superman… I think. I tend to switch to other tricks when I’m having difficulty performing one.
Yeah - Superman is definitely a tough one! Do you know which part you were having a hard time finishing?
