So whats with the avatars? Do I just redo it or is there a different size restriction now?

I think the size restriction has changed, it's 90x120 I think, so it's not drastic. Yes you just re-add your old one.
^_^

[Richard Dixon]

Pixel size has been 90 x 120 for some time. Hosting on the servers makes it easier to control the file size.

What do you guys think of the new mobile layout? I love it, much better then the old mobile layout.

[Kahli St Dennis]

I actually liked the older mobile one. This one one is to large font-wise.

[asako]

meh for me.

Looks more sleek, but what it needs is some Tron esque lines on the side

But seriously, it looks too grey. Plus The Elder Scrolls page just looks weird. Other then that, good show chaps :clap:

I really like this auto sign in as well. B)

[R.I.p MOmmy]

Over designed while looking amateurish. The thread view is convoluted with regular threads and stickies looking the same. Fonts and text sizing are also poorly thought out, with topic titles being larger, more scrolling is required and browsing is cumbersome. Fonts as a whole are bad and it is obvious aesthetics were more important than functionality. The background is ugly and clashes with the foreground. User information in thread is far too large and again requires more scrolling. The color palette however, is fantastic. Overall, the forum is cumbersome and over designed.



Meanwhile, you still can't embed videos and post images.

[Amy Smith]

Jeez. As if it wasn't bad enough. Now the edit watermark has a giant black box highlighting it. That's just annoying.

[Carolyne Bolt]

I've got to agree with potter9156 here. My main issue is the difficulty in telling multiple threads and multiple posts apart. The colors blend together and make it difficult to distinguish between them.

But, hey, at least I got my avatar back up.

[Donald Richards]

Meh, the site changes so much I don't even know the differences between each version. Maybe the admins should compile a list of changes, or maybe I just missed something.

I think the community discussion has earned its own button on the main screen, but whatevs, the only change I didn't like was that glare on this black head on the top left corner of the screen made me think I was batman.

EDIT: also, I don't like this big black box under edited posts. The footnote was fine.

[RObert loVes MOmmy]

Argh... You really really need to fix page scaling. I usually have my page zoomed in for easier text reading but currently many words get pushed off screen. Furthermore the wierd boxes around profile pictures are annoyingly large and distracting. Could we please have an increase in profile pic size?

Thanks very much and sorry to be a pain.

[gary lee]

:shrug: I'm mostly unbothered by the 'new' set-up, other than I don't see why it had to be done again so soon. It is a little tricky to navigate right now since all of the threads seem to blur together rather than seeming distinct from the others.


:dead:

[Danial Zachery]

Have we fixed the "your subscription lasts about a week before being forgotten so you never get notified when someone posts in one of your older threads, thereby defeating the entire purpose of subscribing to a thread" thing?

Otherwise, I don't really care one way or another. I'm opposed to the way Facebook is taking over the Internet, but that's hardly Bethesda's fault. I was briefly very worried I wouldn't be able to use my old, animated avatar, but it was a simple matter of resizing it myself before uploading to fix that.

Does the syntax highlighting work, ya know, on actual script from Bethesda's games?

Begin GameMode    if ( GetPlayerIsInSEWorld )        set SI to 1        player.SetPos X 100    endifEnd

EDIT: Apparently not. I know the syntax highlighting is just some module they installed or whatever, but really, that seems like something it ought to do.

[Kate Schofield]

I wish we could change the themes like it was pre-update. The IP board is better on my eyes, just wish I could change the color.

EDIT: And the stars are now circles when using the IP board theme. Lol.

[Jade MacSpade]

I like the new layout, but the threads need to have some sort of separation between them. Other than that, I like it.

[Neko Jenny]

Just when I was getting used to the previous format... :brokencomputer:

I didn't like it at first, but once I get used to it, I won't mind it.

[Chris Johnston]

Meh + No.

I still wish they'd go back to the old invisionfree look but keep the same new forums, but whatever.

At the very least, I want that Morrowind Tan theme.

[Myles]

I REALLY like the IP.Board theme. And as a side note, yes the other one lags my computer like balls. (And the previous one didn't at all)

[Liv Brown]

What's this name change businesss on my profile? Does this mean I can change my username?

[naome duncan]

Whoa, I just saw the topic preview thingy...first I thought it was just some glitch, cursored over it..and yea! :foodndrink:

[Amber Ably]

I don't like this new site skin, but I'm willing to settle if gamesas fixes this lag and choppy browsing. It's driving me nuts.

[Nienna garcia]

Seems a little choppy and the line between posted and active topics is non-existent.

[rheanna bruining]

Jeez. As if it wasn't bad enough. Now the edit watermark has a giant black box highlighting it. That's just annoying.

Agreed, it is really annoying. D:<

I like the http://www.hellgateaus.net/forum/ forums the best. Functional and sleek. Best organizing of subforums, unlike BGSF's unwieldy huge front page.

I don't know why Bethesda has to add on all sorts of extraneous crap (the stalker bar), constantly replace text descriptions with images (my inbox is now a little envelope. Took me a few minutes to find it. :angry: ). And still there is the constant transparency befind posts and forum threads, etc. The point is to be able to read people's posts. Like any good video game interface, this should be stylish, but primarily functional. Gstaff, fire whomever thought up the new look for the forums - they've totally ripped you guys off. Gradient shading is soooo '90s.

EDIT: There's been a font change, has there? If so, I like the old font better. If not - then why does it look different???

EDIT: why does some text have a dropdown shadow effect? E.g. the "2 users are reading this topic" text, and the stuff I enter for the "my hobbies" section of my profile.

[Wanda Maximoff]

The update works well for mobile users best despite the lack of uploading avatars from them.

I tried to get an avatar thats not Jeff Goldblum, but, well, IDK what it is about him but when it comes to this it's been that way for quite a while.

[Amy Cooper]

I like the new visual look on the forums, without too much 'glossy' effects, but the scrolling is terribly choppy and very slow with Firefox 3.6.12 on my computer (more exactly, I've got this problem since the previous version was released some months ago)... : (

[Sabrina garzotto]

OH GOD MY EYES.

But they'll get used to it.
