New Skin?

Tom_vRS · 05-07-2008, 22:37

Oh, and the reviews button just takes you to the forum index

Plenty to keep you busy Colin - keep up the good work. I think the uplift is generally excellent.

Fluffmeister · 05-07-2008, 22:45

Looks and feels great to me, a job well done imho

heresmo · 05-07-2008, 22:45

Hurts my eyes, too.

you gits

The old forum blended seamlessly into the lotus notes colour scheme we have at work, the font size was small and inconspicuous. Now it looks like I'll have to do some work instead

Zero · 05-07-2008, 22:57

looks very nice, much better than before if i'm honest

I looked everywhere for that

andy2407 · 05-07-2008, 23:06

I like it - thanks Mr D

Waiting to see if anyone joins my social group - whatever one of those is.

Any chance of getting "Multi-Quote" back?

KTP · 05-07-2008, 23:22

i quite like it, nice and fresh, sure once its been tweaked a little it'll end up looking cracking

ric04vrs · 05-07-2008, 23:24

i like the bigger quick reply box though

Just off to have a look round.

Good to see a change, be patient with colinnd cos I know its diddly getting everything looking pucker!

Have to say though page width is now too narrow, except for the menu at the top the forum itself only takes up about 80% width of my browser. Can variable width (using percentage values of 100%) please be set rather than using static pixel width?

Thanks

madfiddler · 06-07-2008, 00:35

Btw what are "tags" you Can add to threads?

madfiddler · 06-07-2008, 00:41

Nnoticed ads are gone, is that permanent?

Could do with getting rid of descriptive text at top of page that tells you what forum and thread you are in IMHO..... the "path" links are sufficient I reckon

I doubt it......so you need to join freedom as quick as possible

Shifty · 06-07-2008, 11:02

Another thing - being picky maybe, used to easily be able to see which threads I had posted in, now it's quite difficult with a small hard to see arrow.

heresmo · 06-07-2008, 12:21

*confuse a person but sussed now* I have my personal options set upside down so that Page 1 displays the latest posts rather than the earliest ones. I note when I submit a reply, the screen reverts to the page with the highest number, i.e. Page 2 on a 2-page thread, though that is the earlier page if using the "latest first" option.

Ditto. I wanted to give things a chance to settle before bringing this up.

Is there yet a thread for differences from the old format that people can raise - the internet gods can then say yes or no as to whether it'll change/be fixed.

Robshaw · 06-07-2008, 12:32

I really like it - Well done Colin!

The white is a tad white - however this makes a nice fresh look

I still love the PM and Inbox quick options. Amazing.

**mannyo** · 06-07-2008, 14:16

After using it for a while, I have the same comments on the white.

The ads will return, I guess its best to consider the current skin as a work in progress. I have noticed several things dont work as mentioned earlier in the thread. I am sure Colin is bevering away in the background testing things before making them live for all to see.

tdirob · 06-07-2008, 14:18

Having used it a bit now, I like it. Good work Colin

Miss the old one as well though

apinner · 06-07-2008, 16:03

Making style changes without me Colin... how dare you!

Its about time this skin got used, Cobalt was rubbish! And now i have broadband in my new home and i am not moving my life across the country i can spend a bit more time turning this version into something a bit more briskodararararary

But not now, just got back from silverstone after being on the **** in milton keynes til 2:00am last night and at the track at 5:30am i am rather tired!

***ncarring*** · 06-07-2008, 16:09

I liked Cobalt

Gizmo68 · 06-07-2008, 16:24

I too preferred the old one, I'm not going to comment on the things that are missing at the moment, as i assume they will reappear when Colin has time, but the colour / brightness is OTT IMO.

smstext · 06-07-2008, 17:22

i think the new look looks fresh to the site.

andy2407 · 06-07-2008, 18:38

When I click on "Quick Links" and then "Today's Posts" I have several times got a "wait 20 seconds to search again" message.

It's as though I'm double clicking on it and the forum software thinks I've tried to do two searches in quick succession. Even when it works OK, I get a sound from the speakers as though I've double-clicked.

Anyone else had similar problems?

Basil · 06-07-2008, 19:01

I'm finding it stresses my eyes to read - dark background is far easier on the eyes - any chance of a theme to keep it more contrasted?

Bas (getting on)
