The new look is far too busy for me. I much prefer the previous one.

How does the facebook login thing work anyway?

Then don't use that particular feaure. How hard is that?

It seems like they made the "Online now" image brighter.

Has anyone else's "Active Posts" count gone down considerably? Funny, I was close to going up to the next level, and suddenly thousands of posts have dropped off my count.

its for if you didnt make an account here i think. still lets u log in and post without making and registering an account

That's not a bug, it's a feature. Apparently hitting "Home" is too much effort if we wanted to search for something, or check our PMs, and the bar must follow us!

Meh. Preferred the the previous one. By a large margin.

Just a little bit like this, yeah. It was a whole WTF moment followed by a 'where is everything' and 'I hate this'. However, there is a key difference.

The layouts changed minimally, the core forum was structured the same way, but now there was additional game forum links and more stuff on the homepage. Now, this is a whole blooming revision. Back to the drawing board kinda deal.

Which makes it different than the past change.

PS... I kinda like this color. Makes the black more acceptable, feels halloween-y.

Thank you kind sir for this wonderful gift. As soon as I can restart Firefox I'll install it.

I don't like it, I have a wide screen monitor (it's better for playing games and watching movies) but now when viewing the forums, half of that screen is blank space. It's my biggest pet peeve with any website and unless I find a way around it I'm never going to get around to liking these new forums.

And wtf happened to my avatar? *Goes off grinding her teeth*

Thought I'd add some info here for all the users trying out the new digs:

We use this same forum software on TES Alliance and browsing the forum in Internet Explorer MAY result in some odd behaviors like floating page elements (ie search bar, tabs), dead links, lagging, script errors, and more. So if you are browsing the new forums in IE and are experiencing issues similar to what I've described, try changing browsers to FireFox or something similar.

Also, I'd wager that even though the forums are back online (to stave off the impatient hoards of confused users) there is likely a lot that is still going to shift and adjust here over the next couple days. Try to be patient, the software takes time to setup and kick the bugs out of, it also takes time to create new skins, etc, be patient, I'm sure BGS will get everything sorted.

Cheers!

Was thinking the same thing.
I wonder how yellow looks...

I'm taking a hiatus from the forums. I can't read three pages of a thread without getting a migraine.

Lol it's a feature? Then how do we disable it? It's one of those "features" I definitely want to disable.

Active posts have nothing to do with your post count. They're the number of posts by you that haven't been pruned from the board yet, not total posts you've ever made.

That's supposed to happen.


It connects with your account and imports information and your profile picture.


They purged the forums. Click the square next to your name to see the full info.

Haha, Shows up well with the black might start using that color

Fair warning: it does that for ALL sites.

I would have much preferred a sleeker style of the old one. I miss my tan .

Might try something like that.Is there anyway to keep it and not have to contently fix it?

Yeah, it's a life saver. I'm using it right now. I'm going to fool around with the text color settings.

Let me second the thanks for this! While it's not ideal, that screenshot is a huge improvement.

It's always been an Invision board, and was always able to view the full site.

For an update, I got it straightened out. There's a link buried at the bottom of the mobile site that says "Youre using a theme optimized for your browser. Click here to change it."

It still looks craptacular, but it's better.

WTF, my posting and everything just slowed big time. Randomly outta nowhere D:
