Yeah but with all the extras we have built into the site it would be a huge transition.
Thanks for the compliments. We felt it was a good time for a refresh Originally Posted by St.Christopher
Sorry St. C, but, for starts, the fonts are garbage and mostly unreadable on a handheld.

This needs a lot of work to even get close to basic readability. In addition, the frames are not clear with basic data items such as the log in name not viewable as it should be, and other items the same.

I know the older vBulletin, that was heavily customized, had support issues and something needed to be done, but someone's priorities are a bit off if this new thing can't be viewed on a handheld due to simple basic items such as font.

This new thing was simply no where near ready to be put on line.

See that red box right by your username? Originally Posted by St.Christopher

Or do we play a game of pin the pointer on a guestimate spot?
What's the down arrow thing for, or do we have to guess?
Fix the frames.

The online indicator is difficult to see on a handheld. That thin green line around the dark circle isn't visible unless you zoom in. It's not the most important feature, but since there is an online indicator it would be nice to see it.
The new skin looks great! Have you guys investigated Xenforo? It's quite a bit more user friendly than vBulletin, has more features and is more secure as well. Either way... keep up the great work! Originally Posted by buck_rogers

Nothing wrong with a new refreshed sleek look.
At first glance I find myself liking it.

Are you going to restore the multi quote function?

Font too small, difficult to read. previous font was better

Page vertically expanded, some box heights have increased, less info on a page, not good for 16:9 aspect monitors

Lite colors washout the screen, so bright white its hard to look at



Hope this is only beta and will be corrected
I like the new look. It works great on Safari.
I like it. Much cleaner looking from my perspective. And actually easier to navigate. I like the drop down next to my user name as opposed to hunting for links

Will it make verified gals appear thinner? Whew
Can't help ya with that I'm afraid
It's Sleeker, cleaner and not so jumbled. The site seems to be quicker now.

However, the color of the fonts and backgrounds are difficult for those of us who are color blind.
They say change is good.I'm still undecided.
