Post by: Leon. on August 06, 2012, 02:57:04 am: It's going to take some getting used to. It's not terrible, but it's not epic. The whiteness of a lot of things really kills my shitty eyes.

Post by: Reece on August 06, 2012, 03:03:18 am: It's certainly different. I like it though, wasn't too sure at first.

This is too bright

Post by: Naic on August 06, 2012, 03:18:38 am: Pretty cool this new theme, but it'll take a little while to get used to this. :bow:
Title: Re: The New forum them
Post by: SafetyMoose on August 06, 2012, 03:26:45 am: Too bright and distracts from the text in threads. 10/10 for the work but it just does not flow well when trying to read text in both the OP and replies.

Profile -> Looks and Layout -> Choose a theme. I'm using CC and looks kewl.
Title: Re: The New forum them
Post by: Pandalink on August 06, 2012, 04:08:16 am: I would agree with too bright. Definitely way too bright.

Possibly try another white text on dark background theme? That worked well before.
Title: Re: The New forum them
Post by: Aragorn on August 06, 2012, 06:13:11 am: There is no need to talk about forum style if there is templates' chooser...
I already said, that we will add new templates, and you can choose whatever template you want - bright, dark, black, red even rainbow and clouds...

As for the current default theme - it is perfect for discussions and portals with a lot of news and comments rotation... Dark font on white paper is natural for catching what are you reading and even for eyes...

I can assure you, when we moved to the dark theme of Argonath forums long time ago there were the same topics and all were moaning about forums being too dark... So it is just a matter of being used to...
As for the current colour it has the best balance between Dark and Bright styles... I am sure you will understand it later...

Anyway, there will be different templates and we'll try to set one of Argonath old theme colours...

ITs good to see someone appreciating our work.

Post by: Danny_Leo on August 06, 2012, 10:53:35 am: Well I like the CC theme just fine.
Title: Re: The New forum them
Post by: Gimli on August 06, 2012, 10:57:44 am: It's just a matter of getting used to it IMO. When we changed to the previous design, I hated it at first, but the more I used it, the more I loved it :)

Post by: SeanC on August 06, 2012, 11:02:19 am: I like it, its pretty good.
Just gotta get used to it first!
Title: Re: The New forum them
Post by: Radagast on August 06, 2012, 11:31:39 am: I love it. I guess everyone saying it's "too bright" is always in a dark, stuffy room, with no lights or something. As I type this, I'm in a well-lit office, and it sits fine with me. Well done guys!

Yeah.

Well, I'm going to give the default theme another go as initially I quite liked it. Besides, the CC theme seems to be a little broken in certain areas.

Post by: Leon. on August 06, 2012, 07:58:34 pm: CC is hot. Like, super sexy.
Title: Re: The New forum them
Post by: Leonardo on August 06, 2012, 08:16:33 pm: I believe that's the right place so i'll leave my rant, the forum theme is alright even though i'll have to take a while till i get used to it.. but there's a slight problem, as i tried to modify my profile, there's just no way to do it, i guess it's something with the forum permissions for the MTA:VC Moderator or any other rank i might have.. here's a screenshot:

The ''Forum profile'' is supposed to be between Account Settings and Look and Layout as Fuzzy sent me a screenshot of his, with no problem at all. Could it be checked?

I mean, yea.. daylight hurts my eyes, even when it's cloudy. But screw it.

You can always inform about forum bugs... I have no time to test how the theme is working and if we replaced all parts or not...
As about many forum themes, I do think It is not disturbing anyone...
