There should be a new poll when people have gotten used to it for a bit. This one will have a lot of people going WAAAAAAAH without actually looking at the skin.

I'm thinking some here are not from the midwest and may be viewing this at night with their lights off. The way God intended Game Forums to be viewed.
After work is over, I'll try it out again at home with the lights off and see. Is much brighter than the old one.

I don't mind the colouring, although I quite liked the 'gloomy' look.
I do find the narrowness of the threads quite annoying, it wouldn't be so bad without the bar on the left though.

Ironic. Not to mention the fact that someone is not stupid simply because they disagree with your opinion.kingthebadger said:

Does this mean user-changeable forum styles, or different colors for the main site and the forum?
I like both options (and both skins) really, just making sure.

imo text is too big ant not so easy to read like the earlier. It's a good idea to put ant option to choose a skin, so we can choose which skin is more friendly to us

Frankly, I thought the old design was the best out of any forum I've ever been to.
It's too jumbled now. We've got white, black, dark blue, light blue, dark tan, light tan, plain tan and a few shades of grey.
On the old one, it was minimalism. Shades of grey, and a few hints of orange and white. It used the colours of the new HEV suit, and fit the HL2 "feel" as a result. Now HL2.net might as well be selling furniture.
Dark text boxes with bright fonts are always easier to read, and although this looks sylish, it's generically so. A quarter of the sites on the internet use this same scheme. It makes the site appear a lot less exceptional.
When you're making a medium for delivering complex information, as the forum is, the best path is simplicity and straightforwardness. It puts the focus on the content.
It used to be a quality canvas, but now it's covered in housepaint. The posts, the avatars, the names of the forumites are all being washed out by the brightness of the background and the complexity of the shapes and patterns.
It's not bad, but the old one was superior in almost every respect.
Edit: And the title banner doesn't really gel.

I like the color scheme, but the layout isn't that great. There's too much empty space.
Also, the middle section gets wider when you go into a thread and it pushes the sides out, forcing the browser to make a horizontal scroll bar and making the top of the page look ugly. This is in Mozilla BTW.
