Threads need an divider or separator. Site looks like a wall of words and there isn’t good visual separation.
At the very least, have a horizontal line between deals/deals/threads/posts.

Avatars are too big on the pages listing threads. This results in seeing much fewer useful items on the page than optimal.

I’d like to see more substance with less mickey mouse white space fillers. If I step back and not focus on the page, it’s pretty. When I actually want to read substance, it’s not user friendly.

While the design of FW and SD may seem dated, they are very user friendly. There’s a reason why that style is still being used in those sites.

I switched to paper. It helps somewhat. I now have the divider/separators. Thanks.

That awful default theme needs to be tossed. New users aren’t going to know about it and it sets a bad first impression.

My other concerns still hold about the display of threads. Avatars are too big on the pages listing threads. This results in seeing much fewer useful items on the page than optimal. Also, It would be nice if the page took advantage of the width or my monitor.

When looking at the list of threads:
Minor Design Issue: Tags and author links should probably have the same font size. right now it seems the author link is slightly larger.
Major Design Issue: The tags and author links shouldn’t be the same color as the thread title. They blur the attention and focus.

P.S. I used to advise FW on usability issues and user experience enhancements.

@miserly said in Tires:

What’s the benefit of getting it done at the local dealer?

In my experience, the Acura dealer is cheaper than Costco at the times I need tires.

That said, warranty isn’t going to be as good. The Acura dealer doesn’t do anything with tire warranties. I feel much better about Costco handling the warranty when needed.

Costco’s wait times are a PITA, though.
