I kind of like this teal color more than the original green. Small tweak but it fits better with the orange and brown I think.

Like the new layout, this place needed a spruce up!

[ArrenMog]

i'm using Google chrome on windows 8 and i'm digging the new theme but there are a few issues.

The majority of my screen is taken up with a bright blue background with all the actual writing jammed and crammed into the middle of the screen. also the text size is far too big, like others have said i have to scroll ridiculously loads to get to the bottom and read pages. though i think a skip to the bottom of the page button would be good, i don't think it would solve the main problem and what is really needed is just a smaller text size.

Also I think that the new colour scheme is a bit bright and garish. I just wish it was more reminiscent to the old theme, and was toned down a little. I think the idea of a theme comp is great though!

I also think that the big ups button could end up being abused with people just making posts to get big ups. I used to like the fact that there was no rating system, kind of made for a level playing field. tbh though it probably wont effect much i'm just over thinking it haha.

on a plus though I really like the unanswered post section I think that's a really great idea. This new layout has a lot of potential!

Holy shit and just saw the sound design sub thread. was literally thinking a couple of days ago this is needed so bad! should mean that any sound design questions don't just get lumped into this months how to thread and get lost forever. thank you!

That's been around for months.

haha well i never noticed it then

[Figment]

i'll get used to it i guess, i thought the old one was fine though

Its bloody sexy but can we get topics in bold? The font is way to slim on 1920x1080.

I believe the pallet for quotes should be more defined too. It's not as plain as it once was to read.

Also can the content boxes be wider? Again, this looks tiny on 1920x1080. I have about half my screen of blank space (1/4th each side of the content boxes).


Thats my only gripes - it probably looks great on lower resolution.

[sigbowls]

i think there working on it to be wider and not so bright

[Gewze]

and a lil more font size consistency, some is massive some is tiny, fucks with my brain.

[Gryphonyx]

I have only used it on my phone and i think the new theme should be optimised for mobile, eg m.bbcnews.co.uk and m.facebook.com. I like the old version, nice one for letting us switch back

[Gewze]

please please centre the unread post symbol its getting to me

[SunkLo]

If you look at it like a 3D cube instead of a hexagon, the sun symbol is centered on the top front corner.

Although what does suck is the fact that there's no indication for whether you've posted in a thread or not.

new skin looks like a children's forum lol.


its all cutesie and all.. but i'm waitin for the teletubbies to PM me.

[_cheef_]

[syrup]

you know the color scheme is almost exactly teletubbies aswell

[SunkLo]

The whole right side of the screen has no content just like the whole side of Skrillex's head has no hair. Biggups.

[+torment+]

ha.

or like.. a hello kitty sticker trading, arts & crafts site. where's the tampon ads?

[sigbowls]

prosilver and this should be thrown away once the new one is here

[EliteLennon117]

yeah remove the side bar. make the font sizes more constant and get rid of the empty spaces. Also if you could add a color customizer thing that would be base.
