I think themes for forums would be good. Where you can click on say Fed, KDF, or Romulan. Anyway looking forward to see what the new forums will look like.

Speaking as a Mod, it's pretty important to me that the forums don't induce eyestrain
I don't so much mind the color scheme itself, but the tight font I'm seeing right now (on some pages) isn't helping with contrast.

either my eyes have adjusted the rather ugly grey foreground or a pwe team is still adjusting the color scheme which imo was fine the way it was when it was just a black fore and background.

The only problem I am having is that the things at the top of the forum are gone, for going to my account etc. Instead I have a language choice and a log out options bunched up on the left hand side of the screen.
Right bottom side you have the Page Selector "Page 1 of 7 /1 2 3 4 5 6 7
I can't identify the current page number I am on because the difference between the current page number (light grey) and the inactive page numbers (grey) is very minimal.
Edit: I just saw that it is otherwise. Inactive numbers are white and the active pagenumber is grey. Needs to be worked on.

Yup, thats a biggy for me.
That would be a decrease in functionality.
Also, do the forum post titles on the right of the main index have to be in midnight blue and the teeniest font you can find?
I like the aesthetic changes. I don't like the fact it's aesthetics only.
I long for the day when I'm able to click page numbers on the dev tracker and actually be sent to the page I clicked instead of it hanging and sending me back to the first page.

New format gets a 0/10 from me. I liked the old version better. Rule of thumb: Never try to 'fix' something that is not broken.
The old format was nice. I knew where everything was. Now, now I have no clue.

Same here. Hard to tell what page number I'm on because the numbers all look the same shade of TRIBBLE.
This new forum change sucks. It strains my eyes and my eyes are starting to hurt.

Pfft...I'd give it more like a -15/10.
I don't suppose there was anything useful, like maybe an Ignore function, added while y'all were making it ugly and annoying to use? Who am I kidding, of course there wasn't. Could we at least get the black background back so the bloody white text doesn't blend into the light grey/"dark off-white" background?
Bring back the old forums, this new version is physically painful.
Absolutely agreed. Make this new design an optional skin.

Constructive feedback is not possible. Expletive laden feedback is all too possible. What to do...what to do?
Only one thing to do. Blamite.

Well, with folks in the EU threatening to sue over Arc...I was thinking something along the lines of pressing felony assault charges (yes, I'd be laughed out of the precinct and likely offered the opportunity to spend some quiet time in a cell given the mood I'm in....but at least I wouldn't have to look at this garbage)...
It's an evil plot to get us all to stay away from the fora, so they can use their Metric Cannon Mk XIV [ACC] [FU] to argue they're un-necessary
Well, with so many people on the forums that complain - if they get people to stay away from the forums, then there won't be any complaints...and they can pat themselves on the back (or just pat themselves in a circle - whatever kind of mentality exists to make a change like this and call it a small change)...

I certainly hope so.

i spend a bit of time on the STO forum, i have to view these boards quite a bit.
the "reply to thread" grey foreground is brighter then the thread screen.

Post-modern designers have a lack of an imagination.
I use the iPad mini first Gen. I don't see the current page on your pic. 7?
And I only see the handsome phaser Guy's handsome hand and the handsome Phaser in the left top corner.

You've got a thing for understatement. Ugly doesn't even begin to cover it.

Seriously, this sucks like a submersible pump.
Good one.

Oh, of course. Great. So it actually DID have a legible black background, but that had to be changed to something harder to read. $#%^$&^^$##!!
