just not sure if its me or something has changed and i missed it..?
thankyou in advance :)

EDIT :i did reset my password to see if that helped and i can now get on to post..but the duel-boxing site looks completely differant ..no blogs..no portal etc..

At first glance I'm liking the changes, as I'm viewing them off my phone. I can read replies from the front page -brilliant

Don't bother posting about the forums at this time. Its still going through the upgrade process and a lot of stuff will be out of whack, changing, or just not implemented. Give it some time.

It's a work in progress, so i'm sure all the broken links etc will be fixed soon.
Only thing i'll say, with it's black background and *cooler* look it's going to be much more difficult for me to browse from work discreetly :-(

Hopefully now we will be able to offer a couple options on themes that you can choose, such as a light theme.

Great thing you guys are trying to improve things. No doubt about that.
I can't say I prefer the dark background over a normal white one though. We'll see how it turns out eventually!

There's currently 3 options for for color - Default {white}, Blackstealth {Black/grey} and Blackfolio Blue {black/blue}. Very bottom of the forums, the dropdown next to contact Us. They've been there since I got up last night at least.

What's the blog section supposed to be? User blogs or mod/owner blog?
Btw, the white team is far superior to the black ones. Maybe you should consider setting the white one as default when new users make an account?

The current themes that everyone is seeing right now may not even exist tomorrow... still trying to figure
everything out (all while I level my new Shaman).

If you have a problem with an area of the web site please let us know (specifically!). I'm fixing things as I find them wrong or as people report them, if neither of those things happen it may not get fixed ;)

It hasn't been discussed at all but probably user blogs. (or it might get disabled, depends on what everyone wants.) It came with the package ;)

There is absolutely no consensus as far as which style of the current 3 is best, and like MiRai says. I don't really care what theme or themes we keep, but even if we make the default a light theme, it probably wont be the standard vb4 theme.

You may be seeing some thread icons that aren't easily determined what they're supposed to mean. The orangish icon on a forum view is to indicate a "hot thread". A hot thread is one that has more than 600 views or more than 50 replies.

I'll cry if you take my white theme away.

No worries, there will be a few choices :)

On my phone at least, the front page videos are overlapping the text on the right hand side. Can they be aligned the opposite way?

Zub

i like the current white/light blue one. Section are well defined, forum menu is much easier to read, and it's less suspicious at work ;-)

My phone as well, I think the real answer for mobiles is a top-down layout instead of side by side, but we'll try this for now :)

The videos still escape the overflow:hidden, but at least they cant cover up the posts.

Any chance we will regain tapatalk (mobile forum app) support?

I second the request for tapatalk. Makes for a more enjoyable bus ride in the morning :)

I hope it goes back to the old style. I miss my portal button to show the latest post.

That's now the "What's New?" button in the top menu.

"New Posts" button does the same thing.

There needs to be more skins, the phpbb3 or vBulletin or w/e this is... doesn't look that great.

Also... WTB: IRC button back.
