Seriously. I like it when people try out something new, but both on Enhance and on default.... this new layout is a horrible space waster. Its been a few minutes and I already miss the old one.
My web team made this. I've been handling S11 stuffs.
Congratulate your web team. They successfully managed to make a TRIBBLE forum software, functionally WORSE. Not to mention, completely broke the "Forum Enhancement" modifications.

Although I don't like the changes it is important to note that the Forum Enhancement Mod is just that a 3rd Party Modification. It is not created or endorsed by the forum managers and its not their problem if it breaks.
Like the background, tho. The individual posts are taking up too much real-estate on the page, imo. The whole thing seems larger, with a lot more empty space. Then again, empty space might be appropriate considering the subject matter
Wish i owned a Wells... A Temporal Backstep would be nice right around now
I think it's pretty cool myself.
The background, color scheme, and fonts are fine but I would like those combined with the old, more space-efficient layout, or to at least be offered the option to choose whether I want to use the old skin or the new one.

I wouldnt have as big of a problem with it if that background image extended down the entire page rather than fading to black after the first post or two on a page
The background image looks nice, but the rest is so... black and white, like that Windows 'high contrast' theme no one uses.
What background image?
I have no such thing.
Unenhanced web version. Top of the page. Haven't tried out the mobile yet.
Nope... I run a Chrome install without any kinds of plugins for... well... anything but Chromecast, and I havn't made any changes to the vanilla forums either... I just have a grey background...
EDIT:
Seriously PWE... Get your act together...
Inspecting the rendered sources, I found this:
<meta name="description" property="og:description" itemprop="description" content="Not only RIP Forums.
RIP enhance.
RIP everything.
DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
Seriously.">
Don't look silly... Don't call it the "Z-Store/Zen Store"...

Dunno, man. I'm using Chrome to read this right now.

I found the background... Some CSS (that I havn't pinpointed yet) cancels it out
It's almost impossible to tell where one post ends and another starts because of all the extra lines all over the place. Way too many lines and way too much black and white going on.

Agh! The new layout is hideous! The text is smaller and everything is semi-transparent so the background image shows through. Why would you put text on top of that? Are you trying to make me go blind?
The old format was MUCH easier on the eyes! I want a button to bring back the old format!

Where is this "wasted space" people are whining about? What wasted space? Looking damn good & streamlined here on my monitor, 19 inches. You got 36 inchTVs doubling as monitors set on widescreen mode or something?

Amazingly you nailed it. I am using a 36 inch TV with my PC. It lets me use the same TV and 5.1 surround sound system that all my other junk is hooked up to.
What serious gamer uses a 19 inch monitor? This isn't 1995. Big screen panels are a dime a dozen now.

Who needs something that huge for a computer?
Edit: Meaning yours is multipurpose it seems, but what casual user needs something that big for a simple computer?
I've no mod hat to put on anymore, but there's no reason to turn this into another "Forumgate". Let people express their feedback about the site changes and step back, eh?

If I already own a TV and sound system why would I buy a new screen and speakers for my PC? I already have a DVD player and three consoles hooked up to it. What's the big deal about hooking up a PC to it?

When I think about everything we've been through together,
maybe it's not the destination that matters, maybe it's the journey,
and if that journey takes a little longer,
so we can do something we all believe in,
I can't think of any place I'd rather be or any people I'd rather be with.

The Background Image Only Appears when looking at the base forum page. Not the Forum Page within the ARC Wrapper.
Go Here to view this thread. : http://forum.arcgames.com/startrekonline/discussion/1205821/wow-did-the-forum-format-just-changed/p2
It not appearing in the ARC wrapper is probably an unintended issue with the ARC CSS overriding the Forum CSS

Yeah, just wait. They'll "fix" the ARC presentation. {chuckle}

If this was pink with rainbow squirrels, you would like it, as long as everyone else dosen't.
You thrive on liking everything that no one else does..
It's almost impossible to tell where one post ends and another starts because of all the extra lines all over the place. Way too many lines and way too much black and white going on.
I am not even going to go there... You've made a forum (and zone chat) career out of always having the opposite opinion.
It's as simple as that.
