Poll: Do you like the new look phorum?

It's a tad tricky to follow, and ever so great on the eyes. I can cope with the colours, but maybe it would be better if it was a bit more tidy and organised.

Nah, I've got a TFT here but for me the colours just blend into each other too well. I just think that the forum needs a colour to fence off a post from the background and make it easier to distinguish between posts and the background.

website link thing in the profile doesn't work, always links back to the profile page no matter how it's put in.

You can change the color scheme in your User Control Center. Look for Forum settings, and then Template.

It's only after we've lost everything, that we are free to do anything.

Yes, when you click on 'link', it just takes you back to the profile page (using Firefox 1.5.0.3 on Ubuntu).

I think I like the new forum - I just wish it was blue again.

REHAB IS FOR QUITTERS

The "blue" theme isnt nice. It just turns a few backgrounds blue. It looks even worse because blue and orange together is not a nice theme :-\

Its the orange and lightness of this forum that i dislike

Yes, the tweaks are coming along nicely, and thank you for fixing the website link problem

Would it be ok if you altered the 'Reply via PM', 'Follow This Thread' and 'Report This Message' links so that they are like the 'Reply' and 'Quote' buttons? I think the consistency would make it look better.

i've set mine to the blue theme, and i like it more than the default colours.

the blue one just needs a different background colour, cos it still has a red tint to it.

I only got one main thing that could be improved:

Fontsizes:

The general size is ok, but you could make the forum easier to navigate by descreasing some descriptive texts. For example in the thread-view next to the title of a thread the page-numbers, make them 20% smaller. Same with such texts like the "all other stuff"-description beneath the Breadcrum-navigation beneath the header.
I think this would help navigating quite a bit and should look a bit cooler

actually, i was complaining about the look at first cuz i too had a problem seeing the difference between posts, but once you chance the colour scheme to the blue and grey it's real nice actually.. mind you i still liked the old forum better..

I didnt notice we had two themes to choose from. I do like the blue better. However its still not as good as the old one.

I liked the new forum!! Nice work!!

I liked the blue them better, only one thing that I thought is that the font in the My Control Center could be black, I mean, not the text on the left menu, but the main text that represents what you are choosing.
