Can you guys look at the new forums and tell me what you would like to see changed?

Any suggestions are welcome!

I suppose I agree with Jason425 if he means that it looks sort of cartoonish, like a happy Microsoft Windows XP type deal haha. The current forums still look nicer in my opinion, but its still very nice.

it's probably some combination of http://www.techwarelabs.com/community2/images/statusicon/forum_old.gif , too much blue and a lack of font variety

What's changed? :P I'm not to fond of the dark blue color, I like the two shades of blue used in these forums.

that's better.. it's getting there, but it's still a little too rough... and the blues are conflicting

just seems a bit bland to me, shame you can't change the colours much cuz it's gotta be similar to the main techware, I suppose you could nick some of the cube things or base stuff on cubey stuff, or wack some more orange in, but what do I know

The icons are still the same, Jason425, but I got rid of Keefe's retarded dark blue header, and integrated the site colors and orange into the layout some more. Any other specific recommendations, ideas, changes, etc?

If both sites were open, I'd be coming here all the time.. I dunno doesn't really flow all too well with me.

yeah the font is a bit too..... erm.. "cute 'n cuddly?" ummm... dangit i can think of the name of it but i got a good idea for one... brb w/ it.

ok scrath that. my apologies, apparently, the font i was thinking of is one that 99% of people wont have anyway, because i cant find it anymore. the one thats there looks good... except for the numbers. i really dont like the numbers. specifically how extremely rounded off they are. same for the font, i think it would look awesome if it was skewed vertically about 85-90%. also, you might darken the grayt by like.. 10-30% in the forum and post columns... cuz the blue in the headings is very bold and unbalanced with the other shades.. at least i think that how you say it...

oh wow.. this is an old thread :D

Keefe said he got a new designer to make a good design for the new forum, but I haven't heard anything about it for a few months
