OK, so what do you all think of the new forum design?

I like it, nice design. Only quibble is the way that clicking anywhere in the box surrounding a forum link makes you follow that link - I keep on accidentally going into different forums when I click to change windows

Otherwise though, very slick, works nicely, I like

looks more funky with some of the 3d objects!

Yep, definately faster. The big gap between each users posts is a bit jarring tho

yep shedloads faster, although that could be due to my recent 1mb connection upgrade

OK a few little things after a week or so's use.

1. The whole-box link thing that carrot noted.... annoying. Very hard to switch between two windows if you haven't Maximised everything!
2. Those gaps....
3. The submit/post buttons are DEFINATELY the "wrong" way round. It's ok now really, getting used to it, like driving in a european hire car, but it's noticably back to front compared to almost every other phpBB board.
4. do we not get avatars yet?

5. You mentioned the new design came with a software upgrade, I'm thinking there may be a login bug with it. Ever since the new look came in I've been having periodic logging in problems. Like, I have to enter my username and password about 10 times before it will (after a random period) let me in. It doesn't complain about a missing password etc, just fails to properly go through and dumps me back either at the name entry screen ("please enter name and password to re-login") or at the forum index....... as a guest. It may be an altogether unrelated issue but I never experienced it with the old-look board.

Good enough feedback for ya? Sorry it's all negative, but just take it that everything else with the switch is positive! (especially that it is, usually, faster... usually

)

I like everything apart from THIS

I like it Josh.

It looks a lot more professional and I'd go as far to say it's attracting more people to join, well I think Iâ€™ve noticed that anyway over the past few weeks or so..

Thanks for all the comments guys.

Toxx.... That's the font we have on our Vinyl Banner, Flyers, Business Cards, etc etc.

Sorry you don't like it.

Josh, login problems all cleared up now. Dunno if it was something you did or if it was just random net spazzing, but.... cheers if it was because of your fixing

BTW anyone not too chuffed at the redesign, you can switch it back in your profile, i just noticed (I havent... as i said, its easier on the eyes

)

one thing i have noticed is where it says users browsing this forum. sometimes it shows your own username, then other times it doesn't

only a minor thing tho
