OK so after taking a look in some other sub-forums, like http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/forum/53-brink/, http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/forum/61-wet/ and http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/forum/40-fallout/ I figured out that it's not the fact that the new layout doesn't scale depending on resolution per se that makes it look bad, but the fact that the background in community discussion is all just grey. The layout in those sub-forums also doesn't scale to use 100% of screen width but it still looks good because the backgrounds are colourful.

If the discussion is supposed to be general in the general discussion sub-forum (which I'm pretty sure is) it doesn't mean that the sub-forum background cannot be something specific. If it was something colourful like in those other sub-forums it would make it look MUCH better. It can be anything as long as it's semi-colourful and not dull.

I think something with Bethesda logo on it or something along those lines, it would make the most sense as well.

I'd get used to the colour scheme fairly quickly, its the stuff we can't change, like the hideous layout, the counterintuitive buttons, the non-formatting zoom, that seem more like the sort of fluss you'd see in a fan forum and not on an official one like this.

Also pages don't go by 20 posts anymore. I'll get used to it but a bit annoying.

I'm rather "meh" towards it.

How big is your resolution?!


As Gstaff has stated, there was a lot about to be broken.


You don't.

The symbol left to the name, go over with mouse.

No, just an "upgrade" of the InvisionBoard engine to 3.0.


oh well, things change, and the LEGO Company just send me a closed-beta key for LU, might try it out in the meantime.

And WTF. My posts went from 831 to 111? Whats up with that? Makes me seem like a lurker almost Lol but I don't like it.

You have it backwards. The 200 post limit is a moderator imposed rule to help make their jobs easier. It's just like the no politics/religion threads rule. It NEVER had anything to do with server strain.

However culling, which is deleting threads several months old, DOES have to do with server strain. I'd like to see that eliminated.

Can't really get used to getting a head ache from looking at it for 20 minutes,I've already gotten used to & fallen in love with most of the other things,though.

People have awnsered this a lot

In all honesty i would like it alot more if it used the background from the Fallout or Elderscrolls forums, they're much easier on the eyes than the endelss sea of depressing grey.

Read the threads. It's explained there. Just click the little icon to the right of your name. You didn't lose any posts.


And Mr. Oblivion - why you goin' all "Captain Save-A-Ho" here? Are people not allowed to submit their opinions?

Oh awesome. I better take a look around.

Hahaha!

The icon next to their name.


Click the square next to your name.

Why not just make it light up when the user is online like it used to? Doesn't make much sense for everyone's little online/offline icon to be gray. What is it with all the gray!?

Thar's not what it says in the "rules" thread.

No one calls me that these days

But anyways sorry about snapping, but I'm still displeased. Highly. I just searched through the forums a bit, gave it some 'time to grow on me'. Each forum looks as ugly as the last, only Elder Scrolls manages to look SLIGHTLY acceptable. The skins for each individual game, with that whole transparency thing going on; complete agreement with 8-Bit Legend. It's not only distracting, its eye-straining. Does it really need to be semi transparent? And while the skins might 'look good' they only do so in a flashy ooh aah moment and then their dazzle is gone, and my eyes hurt.

I'd like the old skins back, truthfully. Now, to fiddle around and try and get posts and topics to appear in numbers similar to the past...

People can have opinions, but damn! I have never heard so much complaining before. :violin:

Really, I would like it a lot more if we could get rid of the stalking toolbar at the top.

Forgive me for not reading the other two threads but I just can't. This tiny window crap is giving me a serious headache. I hoped the forums would be back with better servers and niceties like that. Whoever came up with this hare-brained idea needs a kick in the pants, IMO. I hate it and won't be spending much time here for anything other than PM'ing friends. The only thing I like is the addition of this: :angry:

Yes there was.
