Known issues:

• CSS for resources in the Web Market needs a bit of tuning.
• Usernames on mobile should align to the left, as opposed to being centered.
• Section moderator lists shows two icons next to usernames.

Dislike the Home Tab, kind of pointless in my eyes and the Shoutbox being in it's own separate tab is also effort.
On a positive note, the new theme looks great!

Yeah, it's different for sure. I'll see how it goes, the way articles are displayed may need a little tweaking. My hope is it will promote good content and discussion on the forums, especially once articles are written by members here. If it doesn't turn out well after awhile, I'll probably just move it from the homepage.

Shoutbox being in it's own separate tab is also effort

My main reasoning behind moving the shoutbox to it's own tab was because I found myself stopping at the shoutbox whenever I visited the forums, as oppose to continuing to go down. It sort of forces you to look now if you go there. We'll see how it goes.

I want the shoutbox at the top of the forums, it helps users see the most recent posts instead of opening a tab.

Adblock the shoutbox on the front page from yourself, and then have it open in a new tab.

Looks alot nicer! I like the grey theme, and the homepage is nice.
Maybe you like the public profile (userbars) as written for example:

I'd like to see an updated convert to a forums rank that looks something like these, but match of coarse. (I did not create)

There are talented designers on here, that could definitely make some userbars likes these.

- Give the signatures a default height again
- Reverse shoutbox listing (like before)

Give the signatures a default height again

Will do, I have them disabled so I didn't notice.

Reverse shoutbox listing (like before)

Nope, you'll get used to it soon enough. It's a bit disorienting at first, but you'll power through it young one!

Remove the spacing between the input and buttons, and add left and right padding to the 2 buttons.

Love the theme +1

implying anyone would want to do free work for a guy that will call them shit and never speak to you again?! HAPPY FUCKING NEW YEAR.

In all seriousness, I'm loving this theme (grey is my favourite color for websites) although it may be too grey, I'm assuming that's because I'm to it and I'll adapt sooner or later. Haven't really looked into it, I'm running on like 2 hours sleep so I'll look later.
Good job on actually doing something, this is most productive you've been all year @RastaLulz

I like the style, much larger and easy to navigate for new users

Bit of a problem (not sure whether this has been mentioned or not) to do with profiles when clicking the shoutbox. If you click a name in the shoutbox:

Spoiler

Then if you click profile page..

Spoiler

Opens in the shoutbox.

 

[JayC]

Also another bug, not as probably bad as @zMagenta but you really can't see light colored font.. At least like yellow. And its hard to see works because everything is light. I would suggest making text darker and bolder if possible?

Yeah, the shoutbox is an iframed version of

at the moment, as people requested that it go back to where it was (on the forums). It'll be there until I get around styling the version that would go there by default, as it doesn't look good.

Add some JavaScript that when they click it, it does it on the parent (the actual site). This is possible.

 

[Donkjam]

I can't cope with how it is. The shoutbox is like the wrong way! And the homepage don't go to shoutbox shit. I'm gone

I dislike the theme but I like the shoutbox. Maybe we should have the option to switch back to Novus.

Love the theme, hate the shout box.

What don't you like about it, Markus?

I hate the message ordering, that arrow next to your name (preferred double click for edit/delete, arrow should only appear on mobile devices), and I'm on my iPad atm but it seems to focus me to the message box, then unfocus me. Not sure about laptops etc.

Maybe if you can remove the Arrow and bring the Novus theme back with it???
