Guys, I know some of you right off the bat aren't liking it, but if you give it an honest chance (say a week of use) I'm sure it'll grow on you. Don't say you don't like it simply because you are afraid of change.
I'm not saying I don't like it because I am afraid of change, there are a few things I hate about it. The small words, my eyes are not good with words as it is, and making them smaller makes it worse. Finding links in posts is harder now as well because they are black just like any other word instead of blue.

I will give it a chance.

I really like it, although I feel that the banner needs more color in it. Other than that it looks great! :)

Also, I think it would be nice to have this part ( ) in a box with your avatar in it. But thats just a suggestion and not very needed... I just feel like it would look better

I made one but I couldn't get relkeb's opinion on it. It has colour :) I doubt it will be used, I'm sure they'll just make their own if they need to change it.

Not only is that the wrong format, it looks pretty bad tbh.

Edit: Nvm not the wrong format, just not transparent.

/thumbs up

~ Great job looks very clean, I do think however it might be nice to see the same picture/signature incorporated into our website ;) as we have on the voting page.. The castle picture just seemed to go along with the game :)

I like the layout. This issue may just be my internet but compared to the last layout this is slower in loading. Not a HUGE problem but I'm just impatient :p

I think it's basically fine but just a couple of things stand out.  As mentioned, a tad more colour around the place would be nice, especially on the Opticraft banner.  Also, I now have to scroll sideways to view the whole of a page, not a big deal or anything but just slightly less convenient.  If I zoom out to see the whole page then the text does get a bit too small too.
All I have to say to you sir. It's fucking sorcery. There's your answer.

Sorted?

I hope so.

i think that instead of a white background, there should be a dark repeating background image.

this is an example of what i mean, but definitely not a final image. i included the black font + slightly larger font in this screenshot. this is a carbon fiber background image i pulled off of google.

(click for larger view)


the white background really drowns out all the other colors on the page, whereas this carbon fiber really draws the colors out. any other suggestions are welcome.

You can not like it, but that doesn't mean you should be impolite about it.
