Cool forums bro

[lana]

We should use this, just my opinion:

And this

Not sure why the sponsor one got blurry

 

[Icarus]

Can we fade out the icons for topics we've already read?

A tiny "new" over the bright red icon is hardly noticeable

Otherwise, it looks fantastic!

(And where are our new group tags? )

 

[lana]

I dunno. What do the new tags look like?

Dropdown signatures seem kind of pointless. You should either have them or you don't at all.

My primary complaint is the padding. Everything is MAHOOSIVELY padded.

i like it. it doesnt clutter up the discussion with pictures of cats and other silly crap.

 

[Icarus]

Now the little button is in the way

I agree with you on the signatures, though, but can we just remove them entirely?

 

[Cerious]

what the shiiiiit is going on man

 

[HellJumper]

Is there a way to just go back to the original theme? This one hurts my eyes...

 

[Icarus]

I also can't seem to find the User CP

 

[nik]

It's the blueprint jutting out from the top right, to the right of the featured maps area

 

[Icarus]

Thought that was part of the banner :O

btw, the Featured Map link to Coldfront links to the KOTH version

I havn't had much time to explore around the new forums, but it is defiently looking nice from a "oh what the shit just happened" point of view.

I shall explore more and then make a final judgement...

 

[Dragonstorm24]

love the new Hallowe'en style

 

[nik]

They're fine. It's an improvement in my eyes, and drp just put it up, so stop complaining and give him some time to iron out the kinks.

Looks pretty cool overall. As a suggestion, perhaps the rectangular buttons could be made the shape of the HUD objects in TF2 (i.e. the box around your ammo count). The current clean-cut look contradicts the deliberately-crooked text IMO.

Mm, i doubt anyone's gonna read a topic and then click at the end of each post to see a signature that probably contains someones server stats. Though it'll be annoying not to be able to plug maps/tutorials which is exactly what this site is about...

If anything, just remove images from signatures. text and url's shouldn't cause a bandwidth or page rape issue.

It was only a couple hours ago that I was here and everything was the same. Now I come back and I 'bout crap my pants because everything looks different.

Overall I gotta say I like it. Mostly neutrals colors work well for all the background stuff, with more colorful things to draw the eye to more important features. I will say that I'm finding the light font on the dark background in forum posts a bit harder to read than the dark font on light background. That tends to be the nature of light fonts on dark backgrounds though. I wouldn't mind a slightly larger default font size to overcome that problem. Beyond that I'm happy with how it all looks. Nice work!

Most signatures usually do not add to page length/clutter due to the average post length being so short compared the height required by username and group banner and title and 150 pixel avatars and five rows of infotext.

Looks a bit dark, and it'll probably be a bit hard to get used to, but It still looks great
