editing of posts results in empty screen

edit test

I'm allready missing the navigation on top the screen.
e.g
the guide > Dos

(those were clickable links) Any change that they return ?

Another one

HTML stuff... disabled by default or ?
the thread Read this before posting is a bit ugly because of this.

Go up to the root by clicking on the logo. Go up to the last forum by clicking on the icon at the right side of the page header.

custom titles are not working properly.

Html is quite irritating
no avatars at all work (not even when reselected in profile)

I don't like the low contrast text.

I usually right-click on areas, such as DOS of GliDOS and have them open in a new window. I have to click on the little picture to that now.

I can't tell if there are new posts in an area except by the date.

I am in a whinging mood today.

😁

I agree with Carrera, the contrast is terrible: text is hard to read and it's also hard to see the difference between simple text and links. The buttons do not have a good contrast either.

It also looks very weird in Internet Explorer, the fonts do not look right and there are some JavaScript errors. Snover, I know your personal opinions on IE, but I do not think that a site that's hard to read and do not work very well under the most popular browser will look interesting to new members.

Regards,

Would it be possible to add a function so you can select themes?
I liked the old one better..

Also field of view is too narrow even in 640x480. I use Opera, but the site looks the same way in IE too. Colours are not good for reading, I think they are too dark.

It's awful 🙁
Bring back the comfy simple and nice and warm old vogons...

Sorry, but I must say it. It is simply ugly and very hard to read. As far as legibility is concerned, very few forums on the net are worse than this one. When I saw that hazy violet colour first time I thought my monitor was broken.

You have to select it, then submit your profile for the settings to take effect.

Nobody has responded to any threads since the stuff was imported. As people respond, those will change. (As it has here.)

That's not true, there just haven't been any new posts. 😀 When there's a new post it will change to a bright colour.

All things that I can fix. I know the difference between links and text is poor, I just couldn't think of a better colour at the time... Thank god for CSS. 😄

Funny, I just checked it in IE6SP1 and it all looks pretty much identical. Oh, and that JavaScript error was a real error. I fucked up. It's fixed now. 😀

In my opinion an ideal forum would be something like this one http://forum.avantbrowser.com/ (layout, colours), maybe with a little more readable font, for example from this forum http://www.avast.com/forum/?lang=ENG or could be the same as it is now (it is similar) but bigger on the homepage and in the quotes.

My solution would be:
-very dark fonts
-bright background
-no red (and simmilar) at all

and if it would be possible to change type of fonts in the buttons cause these type is unclear (especially the buttons in the top right corner of each post)

I like the new design, but I have a couple of suggestions.

I agree that the colours are not contrasted enough. Brighter text box and darker text font would be much easier on the eye.

The fixed background is a nice idea (which I used myself countless times) but it makes the page scroll rather choppily on modest systems and it tends to give me serious headaches after a while.

The new navigation icons are sexy, but the Edit / Quote / Delete buttons are so small they're barely understandable.

The quick reply box is a good idea, but where's the standard reply button? 😜

Oh, and I already miss the quick nav textbar at the top of each thread, which allowed us to easily navigate inside a given forum without having to constantly go back to the main page.

Keep at it Colin!

I completely agree. And here are some more suggestions. Adjoining boxes could be distinguished by toning of the background and no background picture should be used, it is confusing. Text should not be too close to the upper and lower part of the boxes. The topic looks in my opinion better if it is inside the box (see Avant or Avast forums). And there should be more space between titles and text on the homepage. Also some distance between the forums (Glidos, Dosbox etc.) looks nice (Avant again).
And something on the lighter side. Some guide could be put in the faq for those visitors who unfortunately did not read The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy or read it in the other languages and may not fully understand the terms like Hearth of Gold, Magrathea or even Vogons. 😁

I was right and wrong about the last posted thingee. I was lookin gat the "date registered" instead. I simply overlooked the last posted date, which proves my point about hard to read text.
