Feedback, suggestions, opinions, thoughts, criticisms, go for it!
Some colors need to be adjusted and some further tweaking may be necessary.
Also, I've disabled visitor messages and the whole modern system of profile viewing (as seen on the 3DR forums) due to it being more resource intensive, but if you guys really like them, we might bring them back. Let us know.
Another thing--we can install additional languages on the forum if there's enough demand for them. We used to have French and German available on the old boards, so if you guys have use for foreign languages, speak your mind.

When I came on here just now, I was thinking what the fuck happened here.
However, I do like the new design better than the old one.

It's really pretty, awesome colors that match imo, less of the yellowy colors as well, more darkness, and finally, WIDE forum boards... The tight-ass looking forum we had earlier was annoying for me to look at...
Gotta love the header graphics, the pigcop looks great up there...
Absolutely love the place now, it's appealing to look at with the new added WIDE forum layout, and i think that might even have been one of the reasons why many who joined aren't really staying around...

Gotta agree with everyone else, the design is great. Nice work RedSplat!

Much better, although the Quick Access menu on the posting page in Firefox doesn't seem to be displayed properly.

Looks really good But signatures should be made shorter, and images disallowed.

I agree. I changed max. signature length from 10K bytes to 5K bytes--I'll have to decrease it more if that's still too much. I also disabled BB Code which takes away images. Sigs that were created before these settings were set will have to be manually readjusted.

Thanks Monty.
I think you're using the quick login. If you want to have the Remember Me option, you need to use this form of login:

The colour scheme of this forum is terrific, good job. Did you do all this, Yatta, or did someone else? Who is this Redsplat character? Anyway, most forums look tacky, this one does not. Props!
Oh, also, Yatta, did you license this forum software or was it free with your hosting subscription?

Redsplat is one of the Admins here on Duke4.net, he created the visual layout for Duke4.net's frontpage and our forums...
His Forum Profile
Scroll up and you'll see that he even posted in this very thread

RedSplat did all of the graphical stuff on the forum theme, and I did a bunch of changes to the templates to sort of clean up the design and make it a little closer in look to 3DR. You guys should be noticing the forum constantly improving in minor ways for a while to come.

Is there a possibility to make tiny pics of slimer egg or a pigcop depending on the post count? Of course the writing "slimer egg" should stay.
#27 Posted 12 May 2009 - 08:56 PM
It's not bad.
I still have the font problem in Linux though. I'll look through the forums' CSS, it's always been a problem with IP board so I'm sure a font line somewhere is misconfigured.

I hope this bit by bit changing will be over soon. Changing fonts so frequently is a no-no.

Warn meter, minimized and re-located -- thanks TX \o/
I do notice some subtle changes here and there, i hope you keep it up, you can expect us to throw a word in here if there's something we like or dislike

Whatever. Btw, who is that girl in your avatar?
Micki!: glad you like the changes, man!
