    The funny part is that there is an unofficial thread about the new forum layout before an official one. b:laugh


    Unless I missed it.

    Is there some way awe can legitimately complain about this in a way that can be heard instead of here on the forums where anyone with any real power to do something about it never goes?



    Edit: My avatar is showing up as an archer when clearly at the top of the screen I have an assassin's avatar chosen.Assassin is accurate.

    The word gets passed around anyway, and it's not like China designed the website.

    Imagine the following scenario:

    A dude left his browser open on the forum page and went away to smoke some weed. Then, after a while, he gets back and goes to refresh the page and then, he gets this "nifty" surprise b:laugh

    The forums, PWI can do stuff about as it's all them anyways.

    That and we have very vocal mods who were not pleased with the change. b:laugh

    And now we're all on Arc.

    Whether we like it or not. Kinda like Google+ and Youtube.

    Dear lord....

    I see that they've finally managed to "successfully" update the website to the new expansion.

    Now can someone telly me why we've gone all Hello Kitty with the text?

    I thought my browser had broken when I refreshed the page.

    Maybe the designer is color blind.

    b:surprised__Ok, So it seems real & I didn't log-on into the Twilight zone today... But wow! I was not expecting to see this...b:bored

    I'm not gonna read through the other entries (I'm kinda pressed for time tonight, but) I have noticed the '[More] ~smilies~ option' is the same color as the actual 'Reply Thread Frame' so dragging the pointer over the option is the only way for most to notice it now, so hopefully the Designer who did the re-design will notice this and fix it...b:thanks

    Grey is my second most disliked color after yellow, and blue is number three.

    So I'm not loving it, but its tolerable.

    I wouldn't necessarily want it in ALL my favorite colors either: Red, Pink, Purple, Black and Green.

    But green in there somewhere would be nice.

    I don't mind the new layout, except for the white as a default font color... it hurts when I scroll down or try to read posts. b:faint

    WoW just wow,

    Looks like either a system problem or someone forgot to pay the forums to work correctly. I dont think this is a change made by design. Nice one OP hopefully they will get it fixed in a few!

    I think it's okay the change they made, if you're sitting in a well lit room like you should be then it's fine but they should of at least done it all at once and not piece by piece.

    if you go to pwi.perfectworld.com you can still access the community tools, for now at least.

    edit: wow now that legitimately has me mad. There is no real way to tell the difference between a hyperlink or not.

    edit 2: and the option to view more smileys is completely hidden. -__-

    yeah, they shoulda really left it alone... but i do see what they are doing... trying to make all the pages look the same thru ARC. You can still do zen and whatever thru ARC and not have it downloaded tho (I deleted ARC last month b:chuckle )

    I think they intentionally planned to blind us in hopes of stopping people from trolling and lurking on the forum.

    It won't work, most computers now come with voice recognition software on them already, so you can fix the colors already.

    Besides after playing hour after hour of video games most of us have superhuman retinas that have adapted to being able to handle extreme color schemes.

    Issues with new layout

    1) It is hard to see new topics that are in bold, due to colours melding in to one another.

    2) Text is a bit of a pain to read

    3) This colour does not suit my screen on the laptop. I am sure there are other laptop players here as well, sometimes on the forums we are not at the optimal viewing angle, so this layout becomes hard to read.

    4) Arc news = good idea, but you can't seem to go back much in the sale, in terms of archive. I still like the old news layout, more easy to navigate.
