Shame my thread was merged in here to be lost in pages of dislike.
I'll see about adding the post to my sig so people can find out about it going forward.
Would you be able to get rid of the horrid grey that remains in the search and around the post writing window? My 'trial and error' method has so far yielded no results in this area.

Aaaaand we are practically talking to ourselves for 30 pages now.
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.
That's because forum users are such a small minority of the total player count that they've made ignoring us a knee-jerk response, even when it's the "small minority" who are forum users talking about the forums. :rolleyes:
Just a heads up for all you guys at Cryptic/PWE who are responsible for these new forums.
In case you didn't know, there have been many revolutionary developments in the field of visual display technology in recent years. In fact many people have monitors that can display things in something called colour (or color if my crazy foreign spelling confuses you).
Apparently rather then use multiple shades of grey, people can now see things that are all the colours of the rainbow. I know it sounds crazy but I assure you it is true.
Unless of course you already know of these colours I speak of, in which case I'm guessing you think the vast majority of your playerbase are canine and have no use for anything other than black, white and grey.
Grey and grey and grey and grey
grey and grey and grey

Too hard to tell what page I'm on in a thread as the whites on grey are too damn similar. Bold white is far too close to normal white on a grey background surrounded by more greys than should exist.
It's perpetual Autumn here in the UK already, I don't want more grey!

I don't mind it too much. But I'm not in love with the top banner.
Did it really need a change?

On the contrary, it seems very apt. I see an outstretched hand holding a Federation phaser about to fire. I find it refreshingly honest and candid of the state of the Federation in the scope of STO. Very appropriate and cards face up on the table-ish.
Edit: It may also be construed as one courageous Starfleet officers mission to stave off an entire fleet of Klingon ships armed only with a single standard issue Starfleet phaser. Very heroic.
They hired an outside contractor to clean it up. Said contractor wasn't up to snuff and didn't realize that "black" plus "lots of bleach" doesn't turn out so well. :P
I love the forums and I have Always loved engaging with you fellow forumites, but I can't take this much more - my eyes hurt and I get a massive headache after a few minutes.
Does anyone else have eye trouble reading? Are you getting headaches as well or is it just me and I should see the doctor?
There is a firefox add-on that somebody made. It changes the forum almost to what it was before the changes. I really recommend it. See the last few pages of the big thread under Galactic news announcements.

No. Nothing. The old forum was white letters on a black background. The new forum is white letters on a dark gray background. The difference in terms of visual display is quite minimal. If you are experiencing headaches or pain in your eyes, you should see your eye doctor. Could be something completely unrelated to these forums. Could just be you spend too much time reading computer screens in general. That does lead to eyesight issues.
But I'm just guessing as I'm not an eye doctor. Consult a professional. Get it looked at. Hope it's nothing serious.
...talking to players is like being a mall Santa. Everyone immediately wants to tell you all of the things they want, and you are absolutely powerless to deliver 99% of them.

Yeah tried doing that, got the left side ok, but couldn't work out the right side.
Thought it was better looking even than lop sided lol
Might have another go at it tomorrow, and update style if I manage to work it out.

Don't make ARC mandatory! Keep it optional only!

Is this Ark's fault?!
I liked it the way it used to be; I dislike change, a lot of the time.
I hope STO get's better ...
I thought I'd lost the plot, I've been saying to my wife for over an hour now that it has changed - and looks odd, not sure on it.

Also, if they are fiddling with the VBulletin, at least they could've added the Report Button that you see typically on VBulletin.

And so are the fora changes.
But Cryptics ability to deal with negative feedback is a joke.
If we'd been praising these changes the devs would have been all over this thread, soaking in the goodwill.
However, the thread isn't........so, they just ignore us.
Absolutely dreadful.
And where's the community manager?
Doing a livestream of relatively old content on a weekday afternoon.
Yeah, thats where he needs to be.

There is also a mod add-on for chrome.

(This message was in a thread in general discussion, so it probably won't make sense if stuff is merged).
Go through the steps, and it will solve your eye strain problems.

LOL
More like something I wrote in another thread.
If the devs were sat in frontof me right now, I'd look at them sadly for a while before lowering my eyes and muttering "I'm very disappointed in you"
And, no, you can't haz my stuff :P
