bioshockfan90 Posted February 27, 2018 Looks like the forums look completely different again. And with reacts. Anyone else seeing this change? Must've happened within the past few hours. Love it? Hate it? Only time will tell. 2 Share this post Link to post
Linguica Posted February 27, 2018 THE NEW THEME IS MADE BY @Xaser SO MAKE SURE TO MESSAGE HIM ABOUT BUGS YOU FIND!!! 42 Share this post Link to post
Nine Inch Heels Posted February 27, 2018 okay.... where's the cat-o-nine "reaction"? 0 Share this post Link to post
Xaser Posted February 27, 2018 Just be sure to leave feedback in this thread (or this one, I guess). If you PM 'em, I'll just lose track of them. :P 6 Share this post Link to post
bioshockfan90 Posted February 27, 2018 must've vanished when I refreshed the page, looks like it's back to the 'likes' system. 0 Share this post Link to post
baja blast rd. Posted February 27, 2018 Really liking the alternative Fireblu theme, nice job. Hoping this one can get released for public use eventually. 3 Share this post Link to post
[McD] James Posted February 27, 2018 I find it hard to tell if I like it or not. It's jarring, but that's to be expected with any forum change, regardless of quality. 2 Share this post Link to post
Spie812 Posted February 27, 2018 Refresh the forums and I'm just like "Wait, what the heck?" Definitely liking the theme so far. It hasn't been up long, but my first impression is good. 0 Share this post Link to post
wildweasel Posted February 27, 2018 So this is why I wasn't logged in. =P 9 Share this post Link to post
Xaser Posted February 27, 2018 As sort of a pre-warning, IPS (the forum software) is naturally hostile to dark themes, so the most likely class of issues you'll find is either some variant of "white text on a white background" or "stuff randomly floating in a black void." Off the top of my head, there's a date selector somewhere that never got ousted fully ('cause I never got around to finding where it is :P ). BTW, Ling didn't explicitly state it, but this theme update is really just part of a full-on forum software version upgrade, which should fix... uh, something. Maybe. I dunno; ask him. :P 2 Share this post Link to post

I only see options for the new default and a plain white theme. Unless I'm looking in the wrong place... Since it seems like it can handle multiple themes, any possibility to have the previous one as an option? 1 Share this post Link to post

If you're mixing blue and red, you might as well go all the way, like the thing @rdwpa said. 0 Share this post Link to post

Fletcher` Posted February 27, 2018 I was just getting used to the other format :P 3 Share this post Link to post
DesecratorJ Posted February 27, 2018 Well, it's not THAT different imo. 0 Share this post Link to post
Quagsire Posted February 27, 2018 @wildweasel I noticed that too. On the topic of the change, it looks quite nice. I commend Xaser and anyone else who might've pitched in for this sleek design! 3 Share this post Link to post
SGS Man Posted February 27, 2018 This seems to be a refined version of the previous forum format. I like it! 0 Share this post Link to post
Cynical Posted February 27, 2018 Gah, now I've got an avatar forced on me! Time to figure out how to replace it with a transparent 1x1 image. 1 Share this post Link to post

Cynical Posted February 27, 2018 It's not quite perfect (for some reason, Snipping Tool messes up the colors a bit), but it's an improvement, I suppose. 0 Share this post Link to post
Xaser Posted February 27, 2018 Gez seems to have figured it out. If that's still being problematic, try this one: Same shade -- Greenshot is love and life. 1 Share this post Link to post
Cynical Posted February 27, 2018 That box still shows up slightly darker for me for some reason. Odd. 0 Share this post Link to post
HAK3180 Posted February 27, 2018 @Cynical Good ol' MS Paint's color picker tool tells me your square has RGB of 2, 32, 42, whereas what's next to it is 8, 37, 46. 0 Share this post Link to post
Nine Inch Heels Posted February 27, 2018 (edited) <----- let's see here.... Maybe this works. EDIT: @Cynical above is an "invisible" box for you 2 Share this post Link to post
Doomkid Posted February 27, 2018 (edited) Feels like a slightly more sleek version of what we're all used to, but nothing that seems so different it disrupts use at all. Good stuff! EDIT: One thing that's kind of weird and redundant looking is that many members have "Member" as their title and are also in the "Members" category, resulting in a lot of users having "Member, Members" right next to eachother. Maybe the group category called "Members" should be changed to "Users" or some such to avoid this redundantly weird and redundant little oddity?

ShoDemo Posted February 27, 2018 As long as it is blue, I don't care that much about the theme, though I was surely surprised a few moments ago, when I first opened it. Generally, with minimalistic stuff I have to spend some time before getting used to them (example: YouTube). 0 Share this post Link to post
antares031 Posted February 27, 2018 (edited) I've found one problem with spoiler box. Spoiler It's too hard to read the words in the spoiler box. I suggest to use different color for the spoiler box, such as black for font. BUT AT LEAST I CAN USE THIS FONT FOR BETTER VISUAL :D 8 Share this post Link to post
Misty Posted February 27, 2018 Forum barely fits on my phone and posted links break view more, I use opera for phones mostly. I don't know if it happens for other people too. 0 Share this post Link to post
