Well keep in mind it's not done yet.....

I don't know if you're dealing with this yet, but some of the fonts are enormous. I liked the compact feel of the old forum.

Congrats on getting this all up though, it's quite and undertaking. :thumb:

It is nice and clean :thumb: , but where or where is the "View New Posts" link.

I will be lost without it! :(
It's the "get new" link in the header. I think I'll be moving that. There are a lot of issues with funky sized fonts and poor spacing that I'll be sorting out over the next week.

The look was changed because the old style set was not compatible with the new software. I figure I'd start with something new and tweek it until you stop bitching about it :p

haha, cool.

Hey, while I have your attention, consider a very minor suggestion... change Snowboarder forums to Snowsports.

Ridemonkey: something else you may want to consider is switching the color of links to a grey slightly lighter than the default text so they are a bit easier for users to see and find quickly in a post.

why did you have to get new software? other seemed to work fine.
This is just the latest edition of the software we were already using. The main reason we upgraded was for security. We have had a lot of hack attempts lately so we needed a more secure system.

I think you should take out the phrase "User Name" and just make that part (on the left of the posts) the actual user names only, in bold and possibly a bigger font. I've been looking to see who posted what and my eye is drawn to the word "user name" every time instead of the actual name. Just an idea. Otherwise, I like the new look a lot.

i agree. same with User group, since custom titles fall under there, too. overall i like this new greyish look a lot, but it definitely needs polishing

We will be making changes in the future. Our main goal was just to get the site moved to the new server, and back up and running without any major bugs. There are still a few things that need to get ironed out, then I'm sure we'll start tweeking certain things.

I don't like it, I'll get used to it though. One thing is the picture attachments...make them display...I'm sure that will be fixed.

and what does :stosh: do?

Yeah, I like that alot better then the mtbr style.
There are so many millions of things that make this forum better than mtbr, even in it's current semi-incapacitated state it's better.

mtbr -> :nuts: <- rm

User names should be above the avitar... and in bold if possible. It'd be nice to get the "Location" thing again... It's cool being able to see where people are from.

I'm not really into the way it creates a new window thing for each post... just seems to take up more space.
