It's alright, I will get used to it. It also looks like everybody has a color username.

I think it is an improvement. The old layout was way to skinny. I think most people have upgraded from 800x600 resolution :p

Its a nice change. A little laggy when post comments though. Maybe its just my computer.

Thank god its finally out but not what I wanted. Id hope theyd ditch the new message link and put a quick response after the last post in the thread page. Also it seems less solid between post, idk its very hard to explain. But I like it EDIT: Also the ad on the side is KILLING ME!!! it makes the whole forums not completely centered!!

Everything seems a bit...mismatched. There's no regular size, if that makes sense. Some boxes need to be bigger, some smaller.

I like the redesign. Its not a huge improvment, but I think its better.

And your poll is rigged. (But I'm sure you already knew :P )

Its also really slow right now, but hopefully thats just because its a beta.

The color scheme is a little too dark for my taste. I prefer the old blue layout better.

Quite frankly, it sucks. Far too cluttered, and the actual threads don't stand out.

I like it's set up overall, but it needs some tweaking.

the buttons are a little flat, and i don't really like the reply window.

but i like that it's left aligned. i think it gives each post a little more importance.

i think they want some open space somewhere because they sell advertising for it. i bet there's good money to be made by selling the skin to advertisers.

It's fine, although I hate the sidebar on every board view. I hope there's an option to turn it off, it squishes all the thead titles.

My computer's resolution is 1280 x 800.

So can't say that the wideness bothers me. But I don't like the layout in general.

Yeah, sort of. Like if you just went into Paint and made some boxes. No standard size.

And also, I'm seeing duplicate threads of stickies, like WAYLT and Roll Call.

automatic win for being wider. old ones were such a waste of screen space. though it did force me to move my toolbar back town to the bottom of the screen from the right side since now i'm getting scroll bars in my browser.. but i can live with that.

It's meh. Wayy too dark for my taste. It seems like every forum wants a dark theme. I like bluish themes better. Also, it's really slow. The threads don't stand out either. I'm switching back to old theme.

Overall, 1/10.

My funny bone has not been tickled. Wilfred_Owen has not approved. Not that my opinion matters. They'll do this change regardless. I need a hug from the person who posts above me.

The contrast is not easy on my old eyes.:cry:

Bright yellow on dark background is a bad idea.

The quotes look too bright on dark background.
