Hello. I think the forum looks pretty good overall, but I would perhaps like the title text for posts in the forum overviews to be a bit larger in relation to the auxilary information under them. I find it a little hart to browse topics now, as they don't stand out as well as they did before the change.

Its awfull. Besides the obvious (horrendous colors) most users don't have their avatars displayed anymore and I have noticed that some users have their reg. game icons stacked from top to bottom with only one icon in a row, so their posts are more than half page long... Thumbs down

Dunno really. Looks at bit ominous. Yeah, ominous. And I'll miss the old forum. Hell, I do miss it a bit.


EDIT: Oh my. G-d.

I use widescreen and the forum does not stretch properly, creating a column in the centre with two large, unused bars on the sides.

I don't really like the look of this new forum and it seems to be less transparent now.

I quite like the look of it myself, I'm sure everyone else will get used to it over time.

But I must ask...what does the Facebook Connect thing do?

I find that the color scheme clashes somewhat. It might be too soon to tell, since I'm not used to this but it's visually 'loud'. I'll be looking to see if there's a setting to change this. I'm sure the broken avatars and such are just temporary.

It looks great, it's only way to small. A lot of dark blue on the sides.

Im guessing it is a case of getting something up again quickly. And they will fix up some of the issues over the next couple of days

BTW, forgot to add: are forum-specific color schemes gone?

EDIT: and my short posts seem too long because of the aligning (?). The bar marking the beginning of a signature is placed after the info on the left (join date etc.)

I agree.

1) too dark
2) too cramped
3) too clunky
4) welcome back to the 20th century...

Possibly one of the worst skins I have ever seen. I hope it's not finished.

Though the new one looks cool, I liked the old one better.

My first suggestion would be to widen the forums a bit. I have a widescreen and half the screen is just blue.

Second, the colors should be changed a little bit. It's too blue now, some contrast could be added.

The old forum was better. This is quite ugly.

First impressions. The lack of widescreen is definitely an annoyance. I'm less concerned about the cluttered front page (won't use it) or the colour schemes/skins (I'm sure they'll change) but not scaling to fill the screen is bothersome

New forum look is ok- a bit generic at the moment but Im assuming that will change eventually...

I dont suppose now we are on another redesigned forum that those who earned custom avatars will be getting them back...??

I don't like the blue. Yeah, the former skin was mostly blue as well, but this is .... a bit too much?
