    It looks exactly like every other free PHPBB board available on the net.

    VERY disappointed, guys. annoy.gif

    edit(4?): Okay, maybe for a change you will take our cumulative rage into consideration goodjob.gif

    It didn't occur to me to examine the main site more closely - I was disgusted enough just with the forum changes. But man... when your web-designers fail, they fail HARD.

    -Screenshots/Wallpapers/etc: "Upload your own"? Are you kidding? This isn't photobucket - if you're in need of good screenshots, have a GM take some. You are presenting an OFFICIAL, COMMERCIAL ENTERPRISE. Be professional, dammit.

    -Wallpapers: again with the fecking tideborn! WE GET IT. You released a new race. Good for you. While your devs are busy FINISHING said race, how about remembering you have three other complete races playable? Eh?

    -Buzz Stream: We are on a website for the game Perfect World International. If the news is somehow relevant to that, fine. Developer blogs, media releases featuring PWI, all well and good. Title it "PWI in the Media" or somesuch. Giving us Yahoo-homepage **** about Dubai's shark tank is beyond ridiculous.

    -Featured Videos: What were you SMOKING?! Again, completely irrelevant to your COMMERCIAL GAME PRODUCT. I'd say more, but it would involve too much swearing.

    -Login/Sign-up: A minor vexation, but this is already present at the top of the screen. Make it more compact, at the very least, or invisible if you are already logged in. Better yet, replace it with a simple ad: "Not already a member? Sign up today!" - again, invisible or hidden if one is logged in.

    -Guides & Forum sections: This appears to be the only thing you've done even remotely decent with. Even so, it should be a side-light and take up only a small percentage of the page.

    Constructive Suggestions:
    -Remove "Featured Videos" altogether, or redirect it to PWI's youtube channel.

    -Remove option to upload your own Wallpapers & Screenshots. Fan Art is fine, provided it's moderated by somoene. Contest section should include winners & honorable mentions from the most recent contests.

    -RESTORE the old flash-bar at the top. The new one looks like X-Box Live.

    -Make the News section larger
    -Alter the content of "Buzz Stream" or remove it altogether

    -RESTORE the very obvious links to past News, Events, and Patch Notes.

    -Remove the flash ad at the top of these forums. Anyone with a modicum of sense will be running an ad-blocker, anyone without will just be annoyed. I saw one of the new design suggestions replace it with PWI's flash-based news-block. Good idea, use it.

    -Fire your web designer. Seriously.

    It's gross. Please make it stop, the goggles do nothing.

    Also, the ranking links don't work anymore. Some of the nav menus at the top still don't work. Please, system restore to 10 minutes ago.

    This new format sucks big time. Please bring back the old forum, or give us the option to switching back to the way it was. This generic format makes PWI look fail.

    Do NOT want. Old one please.

    My life has been one long, happy holiday;
    Full of work and full of play-
    I dropped the worry on the way-
    And God was good to me everyday.

    I know I'm a mod and I'm not supposed to criticize like this, but still... I don't like this layout one bit. Looks way too generic, and is way too bright, I can't help but agree with everyone on this. You can say we're just not used to it yet, but this is something I'll never get used to.

    Frankie, since you JUST posted this topic, I know you're out there. Exactly how much "No, bring the old one back" will be necessary (beyond the initial "EEW! OMG" reaction) before the forums are actually reverted?

    I preferred the old layout by far. This is what the freebie cheap forums offer as a layout, cheap and tacky.

    Can we at least get a brightness control option please?
