Opinions about the new layout

I like this one. An eye catcher is that the profile next to posts doesn't follow over the full length.
I'll try to fix that.

Info:
We're going to change the forum software within the next weeks to expand "cora dyce" into a multi gaming forum. All old members of this forum will become special ranks for post archivements, join date, vip & sponsor. Everything will get transfered.

I'll also be able to give away more powers for hosts/members on the new forums.

So much clearer and good looking.


Yay.

Compared to the previous one, I love it.

Thanks

Much better, a lot clearer and easier to read. The old one was cluttered with to many animations etc, this one is simpler.

Certainly an improvement. Potentially my favorite forum layout so far. Andy did good. My only criticism is that I don't personally like the two characters at the top on the banner. I'd prefer it to just be the text but that's probably down to personal taste.

New forum? I seem to remember strugg saying not so long ago that a full forum transfer would be impossible at this stage?

Yeah the old script didn't work. We've found someone else that offers this service with a hidden script.

Forums look great Andy, got one things that's bothering me though... The blue bar extends pass the layout itself and it's like really annoying lol.

it's not bad, it was a real eye opener when it loaded.

but yeah the dark grey space under profile like u said looks a little funny, but that's it

great job

get sanded

i like this one better than the other one cauz it is less black than the old one which makes it clearer to read

I don't like it. The home page is alright, but everything else is tacky. I don't know why everyone on this thread seems to like it. It's an improvement on the previous one but that's about it... Maybe that's why, idk.

I looked at the site Andy gets the skins from and they're all pretty shit. I found a few that are better than this. Obviously banners/backgrounds/icons can be changed but...

I even found a MineCraft theme for when we're finally rebranded as Zodz Dyce:

Honestly,

If we could go back to that grey one several skins ago, that would be great...

P.S.
The banner's godawful.

Either of these two would be preferable.

LOL please no

Not to bad. Plain and simple.

I like it. Some of my favorite gadgets are in different places, so it'll take a while to get used to it.
Can you move Quote, Edit, and Delete back up to the top right corner and make it larger? Thanks.

@Rand: I didn't know you could do that with the forums! I bookmarked them so I can use them with their respective layouts instead.

Edit: Never mind, when I click on a thread it goes back to the old forum layout. I might use the Minecraft layout for the sole purpose of viewing the last posts since my visit. 

Edit2: Only the Minecraft one does that.
For the first link you post I really like the transparent background Rand. Very sexy. However when I try to look for new posts it makes it not hard but...a bit longer to distinguish between the new posts and the already-viewed posts.

Edit2: I'd like it if the "Send" or "Post" button for this layout was moved up right under the textbox and enlarged. I have to scroll down every time I edit or post.

That's odd.

I can view anything with an alternate theme so long as I don't use the newest post function on a thread. Hmm. You can still do it manually, anyway. Just stick ?theme_id=xxxxxxx to the end of a link.

e.g.

Very awesome layout.

+1 for fizz

Thanks, it works now.

Edit57: Quoting on the Minecraft layout is terrible though. White text on a white background so you have to highlight it to read it.

110% improvement. Only down side is that it doesn't feel unique/personalised
