Even if not the old interface, at least something similar to the old color scheme. This one is killer on the eyes.

Make it work properly for widescreen. It only takes up ~1/3 the width of my screen.

Aaaaaaaaaaand GO.

And we can do without the gradient background behind each thread tile, in the thread list.

One more issue I have, and I'm not sure if it's been discussed or if I'm just missing something, but once I'm in Community Discussion I have to navigate all the way back to the original Bethesda Softworks Forums main page just to get back to The Elder Scrolls list of forums.

Can we get one more link, between BSF and General at the top, for The Elder Scrolls?

Okay, after some sleep I must say. The new layout is not that bad. I could defenatley get used to it.
Though I still hope a wider window could be possible, and the stars. The stars are really just horrible.
Personally I feel we could scrap the star system and just use rank names.

And I'll have to ask you Gstaff. Are the online/offline icons suposed to light up in red/gree or gray/green or are they really supposed to be just gray?

Those aren't just links, those are paths through the category and forum. There is something at the bottom of each thread/forum that lets you jump to other forums.

I agree. :nod:

I still think the current ranks are horrible though. :shrug:

Gah...no more blue skin options for me. :sad: The whole ramp-up on the stars is rather...strange. Biggest gripe is certainly the lack of widescreen here. Yea...probably the same ol complaints that's been mentioned hundreds of times already. Certainly liked the old layout better, but I guess I'll just get used to it.

It is similiar to the old dark skin (can't remember the name). And since I've only used that one, I must say the new one is fine - apart from the white codeboxes and some other minor things that is ;)

I really dislike this new style. It doesn't even feel like the same forum anymore. Is there no option to change it back, like a skin or something?

I realize that it's a path through the forums, but to get to "General" you have to go through "The Elder Scrolls". It makes no sense to even have "General" on there, given Community Discussion is the only forum in that category. I just think there should be a link to "The Elder Scrolls" forum, so that navigating from CD back to say the Lore forum, is much easier.

Edit.

Actually, now that I noticed, it seems CD is considered a completely separate forum from the rest of the board. Maybe the guys working on this could implement some sort of link back to whichever game forum, i.e. Fallout, TES, Brink, ect., you went through to get to CD.

The reason being, I never visit any other forums than The Elder Scrolls and it's sub-forums, so having to navigate back to the main page every time just to get back into The Elder Scrolls forum is annoying.

Oh. This was unexpected. I must say, when the first shock wore off, I kinda like this. I think I'll get used to it soon, looks... different. :D

EDIT: My avatar looks awful now though. I'll need to fix that.

I don't mind it, but I do miss the clear difference in quote box color and the rest of the post. Aside from the line of information about the quoted text, that thin gray border around the quote isn't always noticeable to me. Perhaps if the background color in quote boxes were more along the lines of the gray surrounding the forums themselves.

I might be late to the gig here, but has anyone else noticed that your own local time isn't shown any more? I miss that.... I used to be able to see who were my fellow insomniacs 'round here....

Oh Noes!

I loved the previous style of forum, it was so.... simple!
And this is so... not simple!

I'm at work at the moment, using a computer that wasn't even high performance 10 years ago when it was purchased and the forums are pretty smooth. I'm using the latest version of Firefox. I haven't tried IE, I don't want to. :/

:nope:
I will say only this: I don't like it. It looks really bad, I spend 3 minutes to find a Sing In button, I do not understand why you needed this change.

We could use a link to BethBlog somewhere - The index would be preferable, if not in the page header.

You have to click the little box next to your name on one of your posts. You had something of 1567.
