GamingMaster_76 Yellow Sparx Gems: 1271	#101 Posted: 23:06:18 04/02/2011 Quote: dark52 Nah, the transition will be instant. I'd guess its being uploaded via a separate server, but long story short it's not going to cause a problem because it uploads to Profile Options anyway(story short, there won't be an interference).

black dragon Ripto Gems: 2470	#102 Posted: 23:10:46 04/02/2011 Can't wait too see the finished version tomorrow.

GamingMaster_76 Yellow Sparx Gems: 1271	#105 Posted: 23:14:05 04/02/2011 I'm guessing that dark is uploading it by a different system the site info holds in. That means everything will be fine. 'Tomorrow' it is already Saturday here.

IsisStormDragon Platinum Sparx Gems: 7127	#114 Posted: 00:35:56 06/02/2011 I'm gonna give this a spin... EDIT: So far, everything seems fine. But pages seem to be loading slower... 'Course, that might just be me. My Internet's been kinda slow today...but still... --- Stranger in the Desert

InsomDog Platinum Sparx Gems: 6974	#117 Posted: 01:07:05 06/02/2011 The only thing I've got to mention so far is this: The poll on the side like this has made a rather big gap. It kinda bugs me as I scroll down the page of a topic but maybe that's just me being picky. Other than that, the new look is fine.

IsisStormDragon Platinum Sparx Gems: 7127	#118 Posted: 01:16:05 06/02/2011 Yeah, that gap is kinda annoying... I'm getting a lot of errors, but I'm going to assume it's just the site. --- Stranger in the Desert

black dragon Ripto Gems: 2470	#119 Posted: 01:16:16 06/02/2011 This new skin is wonderful. <3 Edit: I agree about the gap thing. It also seems like the errors go away when you switch skins.

parisruelz12 Diamond Sparx Gems: 7577	#121 Posted: 01:17:06 06/02/2011 yes it is <3 --- looks like ive got some things to do...

GamingMaster_76 Yellow Sparx Gems: 1271	#122 Posted: 01:18:18 06/02/2011 The gap is annoying.

IsisStormDragon Platinum Sparx Gems: 7127	#123 Posted: 01:18:31 06/02/2011 Hmm...now's going faster for me. This is quite nice, though. --- Stranger in the Desert

black dragon Ripto Gems: 2470	#124 Posted: 01:20:14 06/02/2011 Compliment time~ The new icons for the games are great, simple and yet appealing. The color scheme is excellent. The way you set up the header and information box is wonderful. And the only thing that seems like a con is the gap thing.

GamingMaster_76 Yellow Sparx Gems: 1271	#125 Posted: 01:20:22 06/02/2011 Great! Now the site is loading as fast as it should. :3 EDIT: Just looked at a game page. There is a gap between the Comments header and the actual comments. Edit again: It fixes itself if you wait for the pictures to load

Pyro-Spyro Gold Sparx Gems: 2866	#127 Posted: 01:38:34 06/02/2011 I love it! <3 The only thing that annoys me is that little bugger of a gap to the left... Oh well, all in all I think it's fantastic!

GamingMaster_76 Yellow Sparx Gems: 1271	#128 Posted: 01:40:00 06/02/2011 I've warmed up to the gap now.

Pyro-Spyro Gold Sparx Gems: 2866	#129 Posted: 01:43:03 06/02/2011 Quick question that just came to mind: How do you know when someone's posted in your GB?

Oh god, please tell me there will hopefully be an option to change between having the menu left or right...

Other than that, it's quite a punch to suddenly receive, looks nice, though some complaints would be the menu on the left (for me), no images for the very top menu bar and the gap inbetween the header and game list.

(using IE)

It's great that you've put some of the vital links ("home", "forum", etc.) on the top, and the pointing arrow that appears when you lay your mouse over them is a nice touch.

So far right now, things to point out:
- as everyone else has already said, the left-hand column that is host to forum links and the poll is a very bad idea, since long pages result in what's actually a column of a useless void
- you can certainly find a better font for the top links ("home", "forum", etc.) and probably a better color for contrast - the font is quite skinny/unsubstantial; it's probably actually better to create better-looking images to serve as "buttons" for those links (a redesign for this would also probably require a matching redesign in the pointed arrows as well)
- minor thing: posts made by dark52 include a faded Spyro image that seems rather tacky because the size of the image is often cut off by short posts (and you rarely make long posts anyhow)
- the page that appears after you make a post seems also seems to have a large grey void of space below the links that take you back to the forums

Two main things really: 1) the left-hand column should be moved or eliminated entirely (with its contents being presented elsewhere), and 2) the presentation of the site is way tackier and often clashes with my eyes (i.e. smooth large grey space contrasted with a bright yellow/red/whatever; thin fonts, etc.)

InsomDog Platinum Sparx Gems: 6974	#139 Posted: 03:04:07 06/02/2011 Just some other things that I noticed: - The forum rules are not in bold and they are not paragraphed. - The search results (not forum search) are cluttered.

GamingMaster_76 Yellow Sparx Gems: 1271	#140 Posted: 03:25:53 06/02/2011 The Poll link results for DotD looks a bit messy with the numbers being virtually on the bar. It's nothing big, but yeah, the more that's fixed the better this will be.

GamingMaster_76 Yellow Sparx Gems: 1271	#142 Posted: 05:28:46 06/02/2011 Quick question, do you plan to make this skin open to guests when complete? It doesn't matter since I already have an account anyway, I'm just curious about it.

darkfurydragon Emerald Sparx Gems: 3312	#144 Posted: 14:56:28 06/02/2011 Some of the header images may not work with the search bar. Namely the malefore header. The search bar blocks out his eyes like a censor bar. Otherwise i like the change. (the poll void doesnt bother me, but im not on a pc.)

Wild Platinum Sparx Gems: 5045	#147 Posted: 15:19:26 06/02/2011 It would be cool if you had the sidebar scroll down with you as you go down pages. Like on some sites the images do that.

Cynder985 Ripto Gems: 425	#148 Posted: 15:48:06 06/02/2011 Just changed to the new look. Despite the big gap on the left, it looks okay to me.
