Hello chaps,

As you can notice, the new forum look has arrived. We are still tweaking a few things to get it working well.

Let us know what you think about it and what might be useful to add! Topics are still subject to change so if you have a good topic or other idea to add, tell us!

Firefox

no offence but it does have some con's... and some pros

cons

it only shows 1 topic of the latest post on "> Latest Discussions", staff area is gone!

pro's its quite userfriendly

The latest discussion area should automatically increase as more is discussed.

So I hope.

Wow! It really looks decent and clean. Good work!

Sorry I don't like it.. You can't see the highlighted boxes to know when theres new topics in things.

I dislike it enough to give a harsh 1/10 :-/ .

I'll counter that 1/10 with a glowing review and a rating of 10/10.
Love the new look!

its look clean but not impressive

Use the "Today's Active Topics" link (left menu) on the front page to see what topics are being talked about.

It will be better later.
in another new version. (2.01)

Hey guys, I'm sooooo sorry...depending on how things go, I might have to resign I opened a new site and have been extremely busy, I want to thank you all for the great hosting and say good bye. This may not be a goodbye yet though. I'm NOT resigning. I may resign soon though. I'm so sorry and it's been wonderful with all you guys, I did everything I could for this site and I've loved watching it grow, I was only here for 20 days but it grew a ton! I'll miss you all if I leave. I'll post more tommorow.

P.S. I still have more posts than you Admin!

To me it's a little confusing...maybe for now but I still like more the "old" design...

Yeh, I saw you should switch back, this new forum makes me visit less... I actually can't be bothered to goto all the other forums too see if they have posts.... i wouldn't even be replying now if it wasn't book marked.

Yes, I prefer the old design because then you click on a post and it looks so different and sometimes I want to get back to that old setup.

nice layout but i feel kinda awkward..
maybe we're not used to this layout yet..
give it some time..
but i think the older template is much easier to navigate
but still i love this new look..
very unique

This design is a lot easier to navigate quickly.. but the old design shows you more info.

We are working on making this new design show you the same amount of info (or similar). Easier said than done.

I definitely am not liking this layout, becomes tough to navigate the forums with ease.

I don't like it.

No info about new posts.
Hard to understand boards.
Suddenly changing to back ..when you visit the actual post

Its only clean.Nothing more than that.

You should put a link up in the main bar right under the banner: "Old Forum Main" And if they click that they go back to the old forum main.

Thanks,
ZeckOwner

P.S. I can't find any settings in our 'User CP' that would allow us to change back...

Make two skin option....

New Look

old look

thats what I thought

Or just do away withit completely, very inefficient and isn't the best to look at either.

Well we knew a few people wouldn't like it.. most people don't like change and it's just what happens.. but I don't think inefficient is the right word.. as it's very efficient. The old-style forum index page is 4 times longer than now with these new topics.

But the general concensus is people want more info at a glance, such as who last posted etc, which currently isn't being shown in this new design at a glance. We are looking into adding that in.

For now we'll try get what ZeckOwner mentioned above, a "View Alternative Index" link to view the more standard forum index.

Love the layout, its gunna take a little while to get used to.

Yeh I'd keep coming if you could view it at the old index

There is an option now (top right) to view it as before

Where's this option? I can't see it.

Look for the "Standard View" link

Woooooooo Thanks

congratz guys wish u grow more to support us

I love it, and i love even more how the forums are finaly back

Nice layout, it's pretty easy to use but sometimes it takes LOADS to load :/ which is pretty annoying but now it seems that the problem is gone...

This isn't the new layout.

By popular demand we enabled the old one again until we add in the requests people wanted.

This is a temporary Christmas theme.

Ow ok and how was the old one like? And the server is pretty overloaded i think it takes whiles to load

I have no problems with slow loading... Maybe you live very far from the server...
I realy don't know

Well it loads slowly around 7-9 PM GMT + 1

horrah! nice new forums, the christmas skin is getting old.. fast!

looks good!
