They must have got the old clock; the one that was better suited to drawing raffles than telling time.

1227324 2011-08-30 04:39:00 Looks nice!! :D

I don't like the gap between the end of a post and the poster's sig. Also the name of the thread doesn't seem to jump out as much as it used to, maybe this is because the OP's name, when the thread was started etc, is there too.

1227325 2011-08-30 04:42:00 Please do add your comments about what you like, don't like and would like to see (such as larger avatars); we're taking it into account when rolling out the new goodies. I'm going to be meeting the web team about it next week, so you have a few days to influence me*.

1227327 2011-08-30 04:45:00 one thing i liked on the old version was the boxes signifying whether chat or PF1 had new posts in it was orange. when it was all read it turned grey.

now its this dull blue when there is unread posts and grey when all read.

does that make sense Zara???

i can screenshot it if necessary

I hear you loud and clear. Will check out theme possibilities.

1227331 2011-08-30 04:58:00 I'm finding it a little busy, but maybe it will grow on me.

I agree, it's strangely 'busy'

Especially the thread read\unread icons which seem horribly large, as are other things. It certainly fits with the theme of GUIs recently to have big 'puffed-up-and-rounded-off' buttons but I find that afwul.

I like things lean and square and streamlined.

I hope we will see an official theme or at least a userscript from Erayd to give the forum a theme more like the old one.


I also would prefer more difference between the colours of objects. At the moment every little widget and such is much the same as the rest, which is hard to read sometimes.



Apart from that, I like the way the layout is currently, don't need the CSS script to fix it ;)

1227332 2011-08-30 05:03:00 Um . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . yeah well, currently beetle is sick, and so it all hurts . . . . . . . . . but apart from the chat page having a too small thingy for where it says my name . . . . . . . . . which took me ages to work out where the log in area was, cos it wasnt on auto log in and the colour or the threads read / unread it can pass . . . . . . . . .
evrything hurts . . . . . . but it looks ok on the eye . bland colouring . . . . . . . . :p and when i hit reply it does nothing so hit reply on previous posters blurb it works . . . maybe its a beetle thing, or opera .
Im off for coffee and a lie down on the couch . . . . . . . . . . . ill die quietly i promise . . . . . . . . . :D

oh and wheres the pm box gone? lol found it, other side of page, and small . . . . . . the name log in and etc text is small . . . . . . . .
