Thread: Forum Upgrade

  1. #1

    Forum Upgrade

    (Edited due to them changing the forum theme to something reasonable) You guys need to do something about the look of the forums under this upgrade. This is a horrible design. You went from having vibrant forums to something that looks like a color accented grayscale photo. It makes it annoying to look at, tbh.

    A few other things:

    1. The Dev Tracker is broken. It seems to show threads but not actual posts as it used to.

    2. What is the difference between 'What's New?' and the 'Activity Stream' button right below it. They seem to pull up the exact same thing for me.

    3. The site looks better on my android device than my PC (i.e. its not obnoxiously colored) but I do want to point out that it has the generic vbulletin logo in the upper left hand corner and not the Anarchy Online.

    4. (Edited due to this problem disappearing) There's some weird error with maybe the forum user name or something. http://i.imgur.com/G4CicxS.jpg

    3. Agreed, but the vBulliten logo has always been there for me (Chrome).

    Tip #743: As noted in Tip #244, tea bags have an infinite variety of uses. However, there's always one jerk who will want to give you crap over drinking tea. Particularly if in a new town, use this as an opportunity to assert yourself. Any drunken idiot can win a bar fight. It takes a real man to win a bar fight while enjoying a cup of Earl Grey.

    3. I normally use the full site on my phone but with this new scheme it is completely unreadable for me so I swapped over to the mobile site (first time). So you could be right about the logo always being there but seems like it should be the AO logo instead.

    4. Chrome (on PC and phone). That bug in that picture seems to have stopped for now.

    Looks awful period :/

    The contrast is just painful to use, please change the background to something closer to the one used in the quotations etc as it is, it's like driving with the sun in your eye down a wet road.

    Where's my "change theme" setting? I'm sure some people will like this new design, but I'm not one of them.

    This text is to damn strenuous on the eyes. I won't be able to browse around like I normally do when it takes less than 5 minutes for my eyes to feel the annoyance. Please let me have the old theme as an option.

    I'm not one of them either...
    This is just awful ! I hope we will have the option to chose an other template.

    I'm all for trying to improve things, but you guys might wanna get someone to design a template or different color choices. This is pretty rough compared to the other forums I frequent.

    One bright day in the middle of the night,
    Two dead boys got up to fight.
    Back to back they faced each other,
    Drew their swords, and Shot each other.
    A deaf policeman heard the noise,
    He came and killed those two dead boys.
    If you don't believe this lie is true... ask the Blind Man, He saw it too.

    The forums have gone through a necessary upgrade, and the old theme is no longer supported.

    The new forum theme is unbelievably terrible.
    The only part of the upgrade that's nice is auto-saving your drafts.

    IB4: Forums are updated more than the game.

    You can't edit some CSS to bring back the old color scheme?

    Sweet Jesus this upgrade is bat **** horrible! I cant differentiate between new posts and old posts. I cant tell where the text box is because its greyed out. Hell, when I click outside of the text box it greys out my text.

    Its like they didn't put any thought in to how horrible the upgrade would be. It is like they downloaded it, installed it and realized "Oh man maybe we should have put some design in to this first".

    My hindsight, its kicking in...I see myself using the forums less and less now...along with...other users...it hurts it really hurts.

    White text on black background seriously hurts my eyes :/ Other than that the general look is very nice, I just can't cope with the color-scheme, sucks to be me, I guess...
