    Wow, I like this new forum. Very shiny :D

    The quoted text is too similar to the background color. A white outline would help.

    I like the new quote design though

    A few styling thoughts:

    - The icons are really big
    - Not a fan of the different-colored rows in the thread list, it's very visually confusing to me. I would prefer if threads with new posts simply had bolded and/or blue text.
    - The font on the page letters is very tall and skinny, a bit hard to read on the thread list.
    - Personally I would remove the user data beneath the avatars. Member ID is useless, and Join Date / Post Count often create elitist behavior in forum communities.

    Otherwise it's looking really nice! Vanilla is a great forum system. I might whip together a Stylish style for my nitpicks if anybody is interested.

    I was about to say the same thing but it looks like it was hotfixed. The inner quote boxes could still use an outline around them though.

    if i may suggest, make a visible gap/space between stickied and non-stickied threads.

    edit: ok, the grey colored bars were totally not there when i just typed this.

    btw, are we going to be able to use images on our signature just like before?

    Looks like they just changed the styling on them. For anyone that didn't know, if you hover over a sticky and click the Gear icon, you can Dismiss it from your thread list.

    Double post prevention/post merging would be a useful addition if possible.

    Ok, a real suggestion this time. Bigger thread page number boxes. At least on my 1920x1080 monitor the boxes are entirely too thin.

    Good to see things still going strong here, just with a fresh coat of paint.

    Also, it would be great if there were direct links to the individual subforums on the main page. IMO clicking on General should take you straight to the General forum, with Squad Five and Ideas and Suggestions visible there as subforums.

    I really like the new look. Kind of freaked me out.

    So, are all the old posts gone?
  • LofungLofung Join Date: 2004-08-21 Member: 30757Members

    I don't think old posts are gone. Everything is still in placed, I think.

    Every post from 2002 is still here. Yes, even those ones I made when I was 17 or so :P

    This feature has been added. Access it via the little cog wheel at the top right under your username.

    Bug:
    - Links in signatures don't work anymore
    Feature request:
    - Enable linking of Steam profiles (don't care about facebook or twitter, this is a gaming forum after all).

    Please give us a way to view all forums on one page like how we could in the past when viewing the forum home. For those of us that are making posts and reading in virtually all parts of the forums it is now VERY hard to navigate.

    Other than that, things look really nice!

    Sweet job guys!

    Edit: Just noticed the constie icon when your post has been created, but does not show in the leave a comment section next to my icon that is currently showing.

    i feel like the default font size should be bigger. the contrast between background and text isn't as much as the old forum so i find it harder to read.
