Re: Rant/Vent/sad thread
This just feels wrong.
Took me a solid 10 minutes to find "New posts/Your posts"

Re: Rant/Vent/sad thread
That is my ONE complaint about this new layout. If nothing else, they should give us an option to change that as well.ButterBall wrote:This new format really doesn't work for me. Having the Poster's information on the right is counter to how I like reading forums. I like to know who's speaking first then what they say second. Now my eyes are jumping back and forth on my screen from poster to post to poster to signature to next poster and it's uncomfortable. It doesn't flow well in English reading. Also the gap left in the middle between poster info and signatures and short posts really draws attention to how much unused space there is.
Pickiness rant over.
As for the rest of you... Yeah, you come across like this.

Honestly I'm okay with everything, except for the short space and the avatars on the RIGHT side.tony1695 wrote:As for the rest of you... Yeah, you come across like this.

Tony, the default PHPBB styles look like [censored]. People aren't going to like it. Deal with it.
Also, the rough old style has been uploaded to the forum under 'Allan' or something like that.

Re: Rant/Vent/sad thread
It has nothing to do with "not liking change" on my part. Although, yes, I will admit that I (And the majority of people) hate radical changes like this. This style of forum never looks good, never has, and never will. This particular setup just looks worse than most others I've seen.
It feels... I dunno, cheap. Lazy. This is the kind of default style you see on all those thousands of crappy free forums.
Also, smilies on the right? No thanks. I liked my smilies on the left and my color picker on the right.
EDIT: Hey, look, Subsilver. Good enough for me. This I don't mind. Wouldn't say I like it, per-say, but then I wouldn't have said that about the old Subsilver theme either. It looks good enough that I won't complain. Also fills in more of the screen than the old one does, which is kind of nice.

Re: Rant/Vent/sad thread
Eh, I don't mind the font colour chooser being whee it is. Moving it from the side to the top isn't much of a change.
Edit: @Tony, that note about subsilver being available wasn't aimed at you particularly, it just popped up a handful of minutes ago is all.

Re: Rant/Vent/sad thread
Huh, you can also change it back to exactly how it was with the 'subsilver2' option. That's kinda neat.tony1695 wrote:That was not there when I went to check on it about three-plus hours ago.Tyendinaga wrote:Also, the rough old style has been uploaded to the forum under 'Allan' or something like that.

It's not exact, but it's close enough.

Re: Rant/Vent/sad thread
Neat, that must have just been added in a short while ago just after they added the Allan one. I wonder if there's any other side features available with this new version of PHPBB we seem to have upgraded to.tony1695 wrote:Huh, you can also change it back to exactly how it was with the 'subsilver2' option.

Re: Rant/Vent/sad thread
I'll be heading back to the old layout then. This new one feels like a generic default layout. Also the 2K logo is cut off at the top with this one. Why?

That's because it literally is a generic default layout.asphere8 wrote:I'll be heading back to the old layout then. This new one feels like a generic default layout. Also the 2K logo is cut off at the top with this one. Why?

Fairly certain the old layout is a generic default one too.Tyendinaga wrote:That's because it literally is a generic default layout.asphere8 wrote:I'll be heading back to the old layout then.
