Ok can I ask how you now name links such as the "previous thread" link at the top?

There seems to be no way to name it after pasting the URL into the box..... sorry for being thick

Like this:
[url=http://www.gamesas.com/topic/1321583-the-new-skin-thread-3/]type something here[/url]

Edit: To business - I'm happy with this change. Thank you so much for IGNORE MEMBER'S SIGNATURE options! Finally, no more huge font self quotes that mean nothing! :) Luckily, there aren't huge image signatures here.

I still miss:
- members reading and posting in topic
- drop-down Jump to menu

Maybe one day you could bring back old themes like green, tan, etc...

Why try and fix something that isn’t broken? Whatever eh? Maybe I just don't like change.

Well, are you guys bringing back the date of join? That's a missing detail. Thanks.

Happy to announce that it's 8. Although I hope it will, I struggle to find the confidence that it will remain so. :(

I don't like the text on thread titles, it looks a bit 'squashed'

I think they're trying to get the first thing working, it keeps appearing and then going again every so often.
Also there still is a drop down menu at the top of the thread next to the 'View New Content', not as conveniant though.

MASSIVE TIP: scroll aaaalll the way down, it says "change theme" now you can choose the IPB standard one, it's white and light blueish, not the old standard, but still good for people who like classic black text on white background.

I requested this in the last thread but it may have been there already so apologies for any redundancies.

The threads I post in now have a star icon to the left instead of a dot, if this is a new addition then it is a very useful one. :goodjob:

Yes indeedy. I'm going to pretend that it's because of me and only me requesting it. I'm so awesome.

Thanks random guys behind the scenes making things good!

I must say I approve of the new theme, though it'd be nice if Community Discussion could get a background that isn't sow low-quality. According to Inspect Element on Chrome, the actual image used is 1920x1200, but it just appears to have been expanded big time, which doesn't work well with raster images. Keep that resolution, but improve the image quality. And maybe use something less parchment-y, because these forums aren't just for a fantasy series anymore.

We tried to change it and people complained. We tried to remove it and people complained. We put it back and people complain. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZCVR_ajL_Eo

If you mouse over the member's name you can see their join date.

Pick a demographic to please and stick with it (preferably the one I am in)

Then take away the post count, it is superfluous with the stars,

EDIT: The post count, stars and join date look good as a trio

I would have put join date underneath post count though, it would have looked neater. \first degree nitpicking

I like that I can see what topics I've posted in now, it was really annoying that I couldn't before. We just need a better way to go to the first unread post without opening the preview.

It bothers me that threads now reach 200 posts in 7 pages instead of 10. It's screwing with my deep-seated fear of the number 11!
