Do you like the new forum layout?

My only 2 issues with the new forum changes are how they seemed to have stretch everything out so less items are seen on screen at once. It requires more scrolling to see the amount of content you'd normally be able to see previously. (Scrolling down through the initial thread page for instance.)

I feel the way they had it before was perfect.

Also, I don't really enjoy having to scroll from the left side of the screen to the write just to finish reading a response in a thread. Even when replying with a content I have to scroll to the right to see the full "post comment" box.

There's a bug involving the CSS of usernames that have "js-username-hover-link". When you mouse-hover over their username, the page source changes from:


randomdigits
randomdigits#2166


to:


randomdigits
randomdigits#2166


And as a result their username turns white because of "color: rgb(255, 255, 255)".

Don't mind the colorscheme but the page width exceeds the size of my tablet screen and either sticks, or fails to render the last centimetre of text in a post.

gray text on black background not the greatest for reading.

too many lines boxes etc

header for each reply way too big

one plus - switch pages finally on the bottom of page... but still takes you to bottom of next page and not to the top

No neutral/abstention option...

...so I can't vote.

I've noticed that scrolling up or down is jerky, it looks laggy if I scroll at any speed other than v.slow. This doesn't happen on any other website.

I'm using Chrome Version 46.0.2490.71 m on a Windows 10 laptop, screen resolution 1366 x 768.

If I use Microsoft Edge then it scrolls normally.

What's your opinion? We're also making more changes.

Andy - it would be really good if when looking at the list of topics/threads - ones with new posts where in bold again. With the new layout, it doesn't bold the topic - so really hard to see if there are new posts or not.

Also, the background image used doesn't really mesh well. Keep it simple.

All we need is to get some bots to start using the new forum and they will remove it.

No

Its even worse then whan it was changed the first time to Vanilla.

As I noted before - white text / black background is bad for eyes - especially so if you are color blind or have an astigmatism.

Not my opinion - The W3C says it. The UX movement says it. The clinical research on the topic since the 1980's says it.

I like the black and grey. what I especially hate is that chick who is constantly staring atyou as you try to read. it's distracting. can we turn off the background somehow? I'll probably stop coming here if I can't turn it off. it hurt the eyes too much. your eye wants to drift over to the eye of the nasty girl because that's how we operate but what I really want to do is read so I have one eye drifting. LOL. seriously.. it's awful.

Hey fireside, there's a long thread on the subject in the PC player feedback section.

I'm not sure why they moved it there as I started the thread on the xbox pages and we have more players - but hey, I guess they haven't got past the thought of PC precedence yet.

We might have more players, but I think the PC forum is more active. Plus, they were here first. So, it makes sense for common issues to go there.

Yes

It looks fresh and clean, I like it.

The black and brown are fine, the background wallpaper just needs to be fixed because these shades of grey are very bland. The image of Valindra they put up was simply perfect and pulled everything together, expect to see it back and fixed soon. Or so I've been told.

Liches have a tendency to come back and so far, no one's destroyed Valindra's phylactery.

Absolutely bad layout

Also, I'll be happy with the default PHPbb forum if you'll forward that resourses to fix ingame problems, but not "creating" "new" forum skins.

mynaam

Yes

I really like it did'nt like the old one at all

thefiresidecat

I can't handle having an eye look at me while I type. I guess I'm gone from this forum. she's back. it hurts to read this now. it gives me a migraine. I just want a plain black or grey background that doesn't compete for the words. maybe It will be better from my phone. Bye forum.

plasticbat

No

It is not work friendly.

I was so tempted to post this as well, but you got there first

To point out the definitely positive thing about the new layout: We finally got the thread page links at the bottom of each page back...

Wierd, which browser are you using? My mouse-wheel click and drag works for me normally on latest version of Chrome, Edge, IE, and Firefox (yes, I have all of those installed and updated for testing purposes). Do you have your browser fully updated and have you checked to see if an addon/extension you may be using is blocking it?
