    Also Americans, please learn to spell colour correctly.

    We'll trade you if you can pronounce 'schedule' correctly.

    On the condition you change the slang term for 'cigarette'.

    I'm just waiting for the large brested scantily clad anime girls to start appearing in the huge empty sidebars, sadly I won't see them because I use AdBlock Plus and most of PWE's sneaky banner clicky things are invisible to me.

    also use adblock and ghostery, i dont wanna get hit with adverts forever.

    edit: now getting a headache from this forum and its horrible color scheme.

    Hey, PWE/Cryptic...here's a simple math problem for you:

    If VirusDancer spends more time on the forums than in the game, and because of the atrocious changes to the forums he decides to spend no time on the forums; how much time will he spend in the game?

    I'm not sure how many other people are having this problem but I'm really having a hard time reading the parts of the forum that have white and grey text on a grey background such as the entire Dev Tracker and quotes.

    The more you look at it, the easier it is to look at it...to be honest. Sure, that's because optic nerves are dying...but it does get easier to look at.

    The site will be transitioning soon to: http://games.arcgames.com/en/prod/star-trek-online (this is why minor art changes are being made)

    As for functionality improvements, we're looking into solutions. Stay tuned.

    Cheers,

    Brandon =/\=

    Love the new look... very clean and streamlined. It's easier on the eyes with the lower contrasts between bright whites and darks. I figured it was due to arc as I have viewed other forums through arc and they look like this new one.

    Nah, seriously it's not actually too bad. The only thing I would ask for is a little more contrast between the light and 'dark' areas. Everything kind of blends into everything else when reading threads.

    Edit: Also, image tags appear to be broken.
    Join date is wrong, I've actually been around since STO Beta.

    Maybe I just have a better monitor than others but I can see everything just fine and I wear contacts/glasses. Most of the time I have issues with really bright pages. This looks much better for my viewing maybe taking a break from the forums and coming back fresh will help some of you lessen your eye strain.

    I think the colors are here to stay as it aligns the website with Arc's color scheme.

    Looks slightly more primitive to me ... almost like a step backwards in design.

    I do like somethings better, however .... like the signature area.

    Change in background color doesn't bother me as much as it might some.

    Would you be referring to the image tags that have been deliberately disabled since time immemorial? ;)

    They have really messed up quotes, forum titles, forum handles, and so on.

    Hmm I didn't realise (with an S) we pronounced it differently.
    Of course with American's 20 different accents, it's hard to know how it is supposed to sound in America.


    Also, whats wrong with sucking on a ***?

    I really don't like this change. The grey is an eyesore, and the text doesn't have enough contrast and is too small.
