New Forum Design

Oh, i just updated the page and then there popped a new freaky design up into my face.

Nice work, now the Homepage and the Forum fits with the design. Its nice but one single thing I want to note: I think the font size is a little to small. I mean it works but it stress my eyes a bit, but maybe its only my opinion and collateral damage is acceptable.

*thumbs up* :D

How did you only just get the new homepage? It's been there months.

He is talking about the forum design, not the homepage design.

I think he's speaking more about the new forum design still.
Those colors (golden/brown) are something which hurt my eyes :? But maybe that is just something because it's new.
Generally very well done guys!

Would help but then the shape sucks and I would feel me back-bombed to the DOS-era. And btw on a HD Display I become eye cancer if I see a damn pixle-edge.

Like I said collateral damage, I can live with it.

I agree, very nice colors, font small for me also.

I changed the font in the way that it automatically scales to the monitor and increased it in general a little.

I like it, too.
It does not only fit better to the front page, but to the game at all.

Awesome!

This is actually one of the coolest forum designs I've seen :) love this sort of colour!

2 suggestions:

1. imo now the font is too BIG! Not wanting to be picky, but most posts now require me to scroll my browser across to view them, and my resoltion is 1440x900!

2. The entry field colour is imo too dark. It feels sort of muddy to write onto it. I like the colour generally, very much, but would raise it a shade or two whiter.

Otherwise very cool :)

Edit: Actually when I run my browser in full screen, it's fine, but if I'm using a smaller window, it very quickly cuts off.

Need to scroll for long messages = Incredibly Infuriating.

Otherwise I can't complain. :)

If ya have good eyes, you can avoid scrolling with a multiple CTRL "-"

I like it. The font color sort of hurts my eyes, but I think I will get used to it. As for too big of font for posts, well...

Is this better?

It uses the font that the Caelum board has used for 3 years :P

Suggestion: Make the text entry fields the same colour as the text in posts. This brown is definitely harsh on my eyes!

While I appreciate the work that has gone into this... Am I the only one who prefers the previous colour scheme. While I do agree that it is more in keeping with the homepage the font and colours just...mm... Look a little UO shard-ish in my opinion. I don’t know I can’t quite put my finger on it only to say I prefer the blue and sans serif font. That said if you don’t try new things you’ll never know, maybe I just need little getting used to it.
