New Forums are Live - IMPORTANT MSG FOR GOOGLE/FACEBOOK/TWITTER Users

Idk about others, but the thing looks kinda ugly, especially forums header
Am I doing something wrong, @Grummz ?

I actually agree with this. The background image makes the text hard to read and doesn't look ascetically appealing.

Another thing you might want to do is set up a discord.io so that the Discord server is easy to remember.

Just another thing ON THE LIST!

I know metro for windows was a thing, I really liked the old forum style. I know the classic is old fashioned but it's easier to navigate.

Would like mention that highlight used for selecting text when typing a reply (for when you need to copy/paste or mass delete) is nearly invisible and that making it a few shades darker (black or blue) would be much better. And the massive amount of gray (especially compared to the old forums' background) is rather dull.

I think a stylized font, with color, would maybe help with the main categories.

I think the graphics look awesome on the site overall! But the problem I'm seeing doesn't occur until you get to the "... /TWITTER Users" part of the title ... the light blue sky on the background there between the chains makes it difficult to see the white text.

Is there a way to put a very, very narrow text box around the text title, but that would still allow for some transparency to see the graphic? Either that or maybe choose a different slice from the concept art that has more of the dark colors to place the white text for titles on? For example, maybe his arm span; or move the character towards the right more (in the slice)? I do like the slice you chose though; and I bet I know why. ^_^

Now for the changes made ...
I like the darker color behind the thread posts; it is easier to read.
I notice that the two smallest font sizes don't seem to be working for me (size 9 and 10).

Is this bold at all? It should be.



8 FOR EM-8ER

I don't know what causes that distortion. It's likely the theme we use. Unfortunately due to thin resources, we won't be diving into theme CSS to debug their stuff. At least not for awhile.

Text is too fat and letter spacing is squished so close together.

I get that these new practices are designed for the new wave of 4k display users, but it's far too cramped on even a 1920x1200

New look and layout takes some getting used to, but it's growing.

meh... it looks ugly.
I wish I could change it back to a darker color.

 

[WatsonDynamite]

not sure if this is the right place to post this, but on my browser (Windows 10 Opera) the profile pic on the main bar (on the right, below the search bar) is a bit... squished.

It's not bad. But, yeah. An 'option' for a dark theme would be good. Also, the letters "i" and "l" look " i l " the same. Kind of an eyesore.

If you feel compelled, you can use this stylish theme I made.

I like it! Some padding wouldn't hurt though.

Theme selection would be super nice. I'm so used to having a dark mode/night mode selection on everything that it's literally the only thing I use anymore.

 

[ScorpyX]

It working fast - without lags..
Love it

PS. also will be nice to have "dark gray" or at least just "dark" theme

 

[Pandagnome]

I will admit the dark theme was special the mystery of space and all that
The new theme is pleasant and safe its inviting as well.

Having the option to switch to which ever theme could be nice

I think that's a surprisingly good point, This new forum theme is made to represent the world EM-8ER, what it looks like and such, but we do have a spaceship, so space might be a good point.

Feels different, more modern. reeee.
