Sneaky Peek - New look MSE forums

tabskitten

I like it apart from the lack of user CP button at the top, i am lazy and use this a lot as a quick link button........

I like it - clean, less cluttered & easier to read :j

My issues with the forum remain - too much clutter, and too big a gap from the top of the page to the first topic link. Specifically the 'forum etiquette' etc bar should be removed, as should the 'start here' and 'money saving articles' bars.

I appreciate this forum 'works' via click throughs into other articles, but couldn't they be consolidated with the adverts etc on the right hand panel?

I really like it - nice clean lines and very professional! Really inviting too.

The new look is very clean, modern and professional, but the current one is rather more homely and friendly and down to earth, if you see what I mean.

I would like the Forums Hyperlinks on the Green Bars in a larger font, or Caps, as, although I'm not colourblind, they don't stand out to me (so to a colourblind person does this mean they don't stand out at all?) - I don't know, the white standard font on the green background somehow just doesn't look right / catch my eye in the same wasy. I really like the rest of the changes, though, although I would agree with the person about the Welcome username message looks off balance.

In private messages, at the bottom, in the Display Options applet, next to where you enter the date, there is a red cross, as if there is an image there which hasn't opened?

yes definitely go with the new look. MSE looks dated at the moment, especially for a vbulletin forum, its not really much more than the default theme of it.

I have a bit of a glitch. Someone has just posted a reply to me but there is no thanks tab on that one post? (and no I haven't thanked it already).
There was one of the previous post up (by the same poster) and I clicked that but I want to thank them for their subsequent post as well.

did you refresh? Sometimes if you post almost the same time as them the thanks button doesnt appear. Try pressing F5

Overall, I like it.

I love the shaded Quote boxes.

I think the Thread Stats box in Post 1 is pointless and rather ugly though.

Is there any way we can individually pimp the dominant colour - would love to be able to change the green to blue.

Oh, and can you bolden the usernames? They're not that easy to read, especially being centred.
