No, its fine the way it is. Every time the layout and design change you take a while to adjust and sometimes it takes too long.

I like the way it looks now
Posted by Exilim
I think ist fine the way it is.., but how would you like it to look then, if it should be changed to another look..?
Posted by PeterKay
Esato looks fine as it is, layout and colours seem to be as good as ever and the forum organisation is one of the best, modded and looked after by great moderators.

IMHO, the most important thing with a web page is the information it provides, not the way it looks, despite what very web designer and Product Relation people believes. I'm more interested in what information I can find than what the color of the background is, or what size the frame border has.
If I have to wait for the Macromedia flash to load before I can get to access the information I want (like on the current :se. web site, for example), I only get annoyed, and if the download of all pictures and ads stalls due to lack of bandwidth, or if the web browser crashes due to the extra web bling-blings, then I get really p*ssed, and usually try to find the info elsewhere and never visit the web site again.

I personally really like the way this forum is set up and ran.
It is reallly clear to read and easily accessible and most importantly it WORKS!
I don't like other forums with dark backgrounds making it difficult to read or flashy themes and options designed only to complicate things!
If it aint broke dont fix it!!
I
Esato!

Its perfect as it is. Lets put it on that way, on the miss world show the jury judges the outside, i would prefer to let models to talk bit too. So i rather fell in love with this average looking norwegian girl, instead of a fancy, shiny one...

this topic comes up once a year or so and what nanu*1 and others have said here is the conclusion that the discussion usually comes to
it works!

I like the way it is. well, maybe some tweaks would be nice, but not an "overhaul".
ps, i also like the way esato's page being small on data size. it makes loading much faster if you know what i mean...

Why no Themes and pictures for the range P990 and M600, that could be adapted .

If it ain't broken, don't fix it.
Leave Esato the way it is. Its fine the way it is.
Quick and easy interface.
Posted by c_vignesh
Its quick and easy ..but a more web 2.0 look will make it perfect

i've been to another forums and the way they look makes me go crazy looking for a button, having big and extrange signatures confuse me. so i think this way is OOOOOOK

But man, it works! IT WORKS rather well.
You don't need an IT degree to sign up; posting, editing post/ your account, pm-ing, etc etc... It works! For the past 6 months I've been using a nokia almost exclusively... I'm still here a few times daily because I have yet to find a better forum... And it's not just phones... i've worked with computers since 86... There are forums where after an hour of trying to sign-up or post I'm screaming in pain, offering a blood sample, a kidney...
Almost all those forums have in common that they look better than esato, and that they don't work!!!
I rather have a beige mondeo on the road than a porsche in a garage with a door to tight to get a car through!!!
Posted by bart
when its not broken don't change it.
its good the way it is, the only thing i would like to see changed is the phones in the upper banner
Posted by whizkidd
I love the site as it is....

@ naveensiva
I agree its very boring. Maybe graphic designers and web designers would understand
Posted by zetineb
The site is great, easy, quick, and is full compatible with (I think) all devices what have access to internet wap and web. And also have the best mobile info in the net. Congratulations laffen.

i am new to this forum and have come from another one and i think the design is really bad. sure it is nice and simple and whoever made this site has done a good job but little things could be improved
-link hovers, so a user knows where they are pointing
-updating the banners to be more up to date (who owns a J200i anymore?)
-there is alot of text on the site, more graphics would actually make it easier to navgiate, especially for new users like myself
-alot more features, the latest forums have things like users can have their own blogs and galleries, sure maybe the design isnt that important but other things are
-"click here to view my message" (just clicked on it after this post this is an edit) and i go back to page 1! surely i should go back to my post!
there is alot of improvement needed to be done here. i notice how all the older members keep sticking up for this place ... why be so nostalgic? (its a bit sad)

Really what you are saying there is that what we post is boring, i dont come on here to view top of the range graphics or look at pretty pictures or have music blasted at me when the page loads! I come on here to read the information and opinions of other users!
I personally am 27, but and i think this forum caters well for people of all ages, believe or not pensioners have mobiles too!
for me this forum does what it says on the tin!

Also we shouldn't forget, that Esato has members from all over the world, not everyone has broadband internet, with a modem and maybe an older pc it's almost impossible (and expensive), to load "flashy" sites.
It's the content of Esato (and not the looks) which attracts phone lovers of all ages and from all countries.
I agree with others here : "When it ain't broken, don't fix it" !
Posted by MWEB
Two well known expressions spring to mind.
"a change is as good as a rest"
"change or die"
The quality of posting and contributions to this forum is superb, the actual structure and framework in which those posts are contained is stagnant and archaic.

And if "change or die" isn't the motto of some "psuedo" relidgeeon out there, I eat my phone! "archaic" used in an IT-context can only be contained within a framework of clear irony!
But I shall cease and desist now, as you, sir, scare the sh*t out of me! Good night (nothing wired in my sig ither)

Hi guys,
I think that it's easier for visitors to navigate/browse through this forum the way it is now. Bright and easy to read. That's why I like this forum so much as opposed to other forum sites. And like nanu said, IT WORKS!
Just my 2 cents.
Cheers.

I agree
I quite lique esato the way it looks! just like home sweet home for older members
Posted by *Jojo*
I guess the MAIN page NEEDS some refurbishing . . . LIKE giving MORE emphasis on the
fones that's bein' displayed . . . NOT like the ONES shown on TOP and BELOW . . . should be very visible . . . the layout on the TITLES (of threads) on the LEFT-side of the page shoild be COLORED and NOT plain-black . . . like the - XML Mobile icon lit up in orange hue posted below the front page . . .
MORE color . . . NOT just plain GREY and BLACK on the MAIN page . . .
OF course it will NOT - BREAK, unless it's bein penetrated by the CARIBE virus
! That's why a little color-painting is needed . . .
Posted by kahmeelo
as uknowmyname said too much text. my sister call it complicated site its too crowded with text
Posted by Nanu
isn't that the idea of a forum for it to be crammed full of text?

Well i must say i have to agree with you, not many people have broadband. I don't have broadband. I am using GPRS which is very slow but can work with, the web cam stick but not more that 20sec and my favorite macromedia site for feb was www.sonyericsson.com/3gsm. Took less than 8min to load each section which was not bad i had to wait but not long so what i am trying to say is that the site could be improve.
The editor dont have use flash but some more colours could be shown. I know there are some impatient person so i would recommend flash for improvement.
Posted by victorh017
Well.... maybe some "coloring" wouldn't hurt... don't you guys think??
But in general, it's just fine the way it is. It works, it gives good information and it's easy to navigate.
What else can you ask for??
Posted by *Jojo*
Did anyone NOTICE that the \" 5 Years \" written in highlighted colors beside on the Esato-logo on the upper left portion of the MAIN page is now GONE
Looks like when the SNOW on the Esato-logo was removed the \" 5 Years \" followed suit 
. . .

the forum theme looks just great: readable and simple. I love the colors layout.
one thing I wish though, is to be taken to my post (the latest post) whenever I reply in a thread and not to the first post.

with websites, it has to be functionality first... but hey, you've only got look around the web for 5 seconds and u can see that the Esato site is well-designed too!
i know... it's my job to!
Posted by Indiandawg
plss dont change the look i think esato's layout is the best from all other forums...!!
Posted by SE4NICK
Maybe a bit of SE green here and there and maybe a permenent SE logo on home page and perhaps a SE logo in baner

I just want the search to be fixed lol.
Posted by xan K
agree on the search. no matter how specific your search is, it shows a gazillion results.

come again?, i see you fall into the bracket of sycophantic non entitys who just repeat parrot fashion the mantra "if it aint broke, then dont fix it".
Lets see some POSITIVE attributes of the forum being spelled out in its defence if people are so content with it in its current form.
I actually assist in running two of the best and biggest phone forums, so i am no novice in these matters.
Can you not differentiate between an attack on the forum framework and the posters therein?.

Gosh... I was right then, wasn't I...
You are the actual proof of reincarnation - no one can get that high-strung in just one life!
Breathe from time to time, count to ten... Or "change or die" comes to mind - your heart'n'all!!!
