New Forum Colours and Update

[Munro]

Well, the forums have had a new lick of paint to match the main site. The only problem again is a lack of a decent logo. If anyone wants to try to make a simple logo we can put at the top of the forums then please do

We also updated vBulletin which has a lot of new features such as: tags, social groups, custom profiles, visitor messages, albums, etc. Have a play around.

Finally, what do you think of this update? Good? Crap? Needs changing? Let me know.

 

[Xendance]

I love it Munro.

 

[Qonfused]

I like the new features, but the color scheme is very harsh.

I like the new features, but the color scheme is very harsh.

Right. I don't like the new colors at all. I prefer blue.

 

[Hectic Glenn]

It looks really edgey and new. It's going to take getting used to, but it's definitely for the good. Not sure about this orange though, it's a little too vibrant.

But the new vbulletin features looks like a lot of fun.

 

[Evo]

I love the orange, really fresh and cool!

Just need to get our admin shit sorted out to match the new vBulletin features

 

[Feath]

It looks really edgey and new. It's going to take getting used to, but it's definitely for the good. Not sure about this orange though, it's a little too vibrant.

I feel like I've been tangoed.

 

[SamuraiKenji]

Dont like
To edgy
To bright
Go back to old

 

[Qonfused]

CTRL + scroll wheel ftw?

 

[Stigmata]

I'd prefer keeping the new features with the old colourschemes.

 

[Nabobalis]

I love it really. Can't wait to mess around with the new features.

 

[Crushenator 500]

get rid of bookmarks, get rid of tags (unless they actually do something useful..?), but this is the only colour scheme change i've ever liked upon seeing the first time

 

[Maxi]

As a graphics artist I'd say the orange is a bit too orange.

EDIT: yeah bookmarks suck, get rid of them.

 

[Munro]

I've made the text smaller... I can't actually remember what it was before :O

 

[Atomic_Piggy]

I like it, though it needs a lot of tweaks. For example, several parts of it are really crude looking, and the bookmarks/tags are irritating.

Apart from that, I don't mind it.

 

[Stigmata]

I've made the text smaller... I can't actually remember what it was before :O

Text size is just as it was before the update. Perfect

 

[DEATHMASTER]

Want Blue

 

[dfc05]

Orange... too bright!

I wouldn't mind the bookmarks and tags if they were at the very bottom (below the quick reply box)

 

[Munro]

Got rid of bookmarks. Tags could be useful though...

 

[Cavalry]

What happened to the Home Page button?

My only complaint is that the orange is a tad too bright.

 

[Crushenator 500]

I've changed my mind actually, make the white parts of the site a little bit darker please, I like my eyesight

The saturation of the orange is completely fine though in my opinion

 

[99.vikram]

I honestly don't like this scheme. Wastes energy and hurts my eyes. (Tone down the white parts and make the orange a shade darker)

 

[giant384]

i really like the tag feature, that can help so much with searching for forums.

hehe at the tango tag

 

[jammy343]

It's awesome, cant wait to try some new features. Colour is pretty awesome too.. theme for the "Orange Box"?

I'll have a bash at making a logo.. but i dont think it will be too good.

 

[jimbo118]

white bits in the post area is very bright eek...

 

[Ravioli]

bring back the blue background!!! These bright colors makes my eyes bleeeeeed :x

Otherwise its a very nice job...just...not the bright background

 

[No Limit]

I like it. But the banner on the front page does need work.

 

[Pulse]

I'd much rather the blue colour scheme, but the new layout looks a lot cleaner now.

 

[Maxi]

Yeah, white bits are a bit too white.

Is it just me or are the forums faster now?

Atleast with firefox beta 3 r4 it's faster.

 

[Naudian]

Someone...make..blue scheme...quick...no time.....eyes..melting uuughhhhhhhhhfff

 

[99.vikram]

How do I revert to something less bright?

 

[Dan]

The new colours hurt my eyes. Too much white blinds me.

 

[DigiQ8]

Pretty good, i like it

 

[CyberPitz]

I like it a lot, only issue I have is the colors. Too bright for me....just feels too busy. Other than that, AWESOME.

 

[taviow]

I like it, but the colors are too bright.

 

[DEATHMASTER]

looks like the option for blue is back but it isn't working...

 

[hool10]

I like what you did to the forum Munro! The orange color is a bit bright and needs to be just a hair darker. I understand it's classic hazard orange that fits with HL but it's too bright. The groups and everything is just very nice and I just hope that the forums can be easily integrated with the Steam community. *Oh and of course new logo and the font needs to be bigger.

 

[Dan]

I already am getting a headache from it. I tried turning down the brightness of my monitor, but now I have to squint to see the text.

 

[Ravioli]

I think its pretty obvious that the most wanted demand is:

DARK/BLUE BACKGROUND...MY EYES ARE TEH_BLEEDINGZOR

 

[Absinthe]

Customizing my profile doesn't seem to do anything, but all the new features sound nice.

Can't say I care for the new color scheme, as I generally prefer darker ones. Like, black as the night.
