    nice new layout

    I like this layout. Much cleaner than before. Did you guys switch forums or something?

    Quick reply is good... the rest of it, I'll get used to it.

    Edit: Hey look! It has spell check!
    Edit Again: This editing is kind of weird.
    Edit Again Again: But I like it!

    Perhaps, but it is a far superior forum system, and should allow us to scale nicely, and control the forums a bit easier. Besides that, the new forums are far far easier and more fun for all of you to us.

    Okay, I know many of you like it, but what about the rest of? Other than the images (which will be updated soon), what do you hate? What do you like? Want to write a raving review for your wonderful admin? Even just put your general overall thoughts about the new style and forum system here.

    Very good new features. I especially like the white text. But the layout's a bit weird especially the envelops that identify if the topic's read or new or what not.

    What I really like is the quick reply option. It makes writing a reply, well, quick. Its really useful. The new style is awesome. I had kinda gotten used to this kind of forums system when using it on other forums. Good job Raven, you da man.

    A few of the Pro's of this board would be:

    • The drop-down javascript(?) menu's, such as Search.
    • The cool archive for browsing through the Library threads.
    • The incredibly extensive text editor.
    • The quick reply box.
    • The larger smiley box.
    • Being able to see what thread was bumped instead of just the sub-forum.
    A few of the Con's:

    • The white/gray contrast to the green/black scheme is a bitch on the eyes.
    • The Post Icons look like they were done with a 50 pix resolution (Fuzzy).
    Hope it helps.:)
