Hmm, I definitely like this a bit better. Larger text, easier to read. Maybe add a gray border around user posts, which have a black background and look a bit odd. Otherwise it looks good.
Good gravy. I went to try this install out, and it wanted me to install everything from a new zip program to changing all my defaults to yahoo and beyond.
Sorry but i don't like the grey color for the background, it makes IMHO more difficult to read some lines of text, and overall looks boring and plain . Phaser guy is ok .
Norway and Yeager dammit... I still want my Typhoon and Jupiter though. JJ Trek The Kelvin Timeline is just Trek and it's fully canon... get over it. But I still prefer TAR.

This is glorious. Thank you so much.

There used to be a picture here, but they changed signatures and I can't be bothered to replace it.
Looks good to you. It's subjective. You could enjoy being intimate with farm animals - doesn't mean everybody does or should. It's one thing to express an opinion, as other folks have - it's another to try to say the opinions of others do not matter...
I wanted to stop by to let you all know that there is a small forum art design change incoming shortly -- Noel first mentioned this in November in this Blog.
Yep, once again, resistance is futile, we have been assimilated.
(The grey is terrible, especially for a science fiction space-based MMO like STO; but PWE will conform all to its bland standards of 'sameness'.)

All planned design/ art changes are now complete (new header, text color changes, etc.). We'll continue to pass along your feedback in this thread, but a lot of the feedback before this post was provided while changes were being made -- feel free to post your most up-to-date feedback after this post. Please be clear and concise in your post, in addition to being constructive, that way your feedback is heard.
NOTE: Functionality of the forums should not be included in this feedback, only art/design.
Thanks for your patience as all changes were made and verified.
Cheers,

I won't mention anything about the colours, there is enough said about this 'decision'.
However I would like to mention the banner. The generic forum design isn?t as bad as it could be but the banner is the draw for people here. STO is bases on the Star Trek IP and not some home brand games like the others in PWEs line up, sell that.
I enjoy seeing Hansom Phaser Guy back, but as the banner stands it looks silly:
First: The game logo is too small, even more than the graphics; this is the draw for people.
Second: Age- HPG should be wearing his Odyssey uniform from the S8 adverts and holding a fleet phaser. The BOPs are really old as well.
Third: Inclusion- Where are Tiaru Jarok and ?Generic Klingon Barbarian?? or even Captains Shon, Tiaru Jarok, and Koren?
Fourth: Ships- The Norg BOP!? Use your banner to sell ST Cryptic, have the flagships or a D?D, Assault Cruiser, and Neg?Var, or 3 cryptic designs.
Fifth: Worf, Tasha, Tuvok. You paid for them where are they? I much as I like HPG et al. Where are the canon characters that fans know and love?

That's a lovely merge you did here. Now i seems people like the new grey on grey with grey look.
Seriously, the only two good things done are 1) the smaller header (no need to scroll just to see what thread you're in) and 2) signature lines (missed this at first but good).
Now starting the second day looking at this rather small white text on grey (with grey around) and my eyes aren't doing well.
EDIT: Eradicator84's skin ain't perfect but seemingly better. So far I'll keep it rather than look at grey with a side of grey...
TOIVA, Toi Vaxx, Toia Vix, Toveg, T'vritha, To Vrax: Bring in the Allegiance class. Toi'Va, Ti'vath, Toivia, Ty'Vris, Tia Vex, Toi'Virth: Add Tier 6 KDF Carrier and Raider. Tae'Va, T'Vaya, To'Var, Tevra, T'Vira, To'Vrak: Give us Asylums for Romulans.

Quoted for truth. Almost replied to the first paragraph, but then I realized what a mistake that'd be.
Infinite possibilities have implications that could not be completely understood if you turned this entire universe into a giant supercomputer.

I wish...

But as for the rest, it hurts my eyes. I loved the previous design, except for the signature line. This is gonna be painful to adjust to.

( In view of the merge, this is regarding eradicator84's solution. Thank you so much! )

Your opinion doesn't matter. Oops.

Looks okay... I preferred the old.
Good to see I'm not going crazy. The old(er) forum was nice, the header was just too damn big.
Thanks for this, the forums are much better now with this addon!
We still do not learn it. Cryptic asks for our opinions, they replay for the first few pages and do what they wanted to do anyway.

Correction: Cryptic says they listen to feedback. But listening is different than acting upon.
Or call it not interested anymore
Alright, I installed this and it's very nice. If you hate the new forums, this is a good alternative.

Don't make ARC mandatory! Keep it optional only!
so much better
