My dad is a privately contracted graphics designer, who works for companies like Giant bikes and Scott USA. He designs all sorts of bikes, skis, goggles etc etc. I showed him the forums and asked what he thought of the design, and he thought they were jazzy. I just don't get why you all hate it so much.
I'm also a graphic designer by trade, and I say they look f'n horrible. But I've always hated the aesthetics of "Web 2.0".
But to gripe on people complaining about "change"? No, we're mostly pointing out all the new flaws that have come about. Such as longer loading times (when we're told that it was to IMPROVE those times), counter-intuitive layouts, non-scaling architecture, etc.Hell, the new site has been up what, a couple hours? And it's already crashed once.
Why. These are the forums for Bethsda Softworks, CD is another sub forum within them and linked from every game forum, it doesn't need a place on the landing page.
Why not just bookmark it whilst you are here you can get straight to it bypassing everything else.

Why? Because I only come here for CD. That's why.

And I don't like bookmarking things. It lets people know what I do with my free time. :ninja: Besides, it was much easier to remember &viewforum=18.
