sburke Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 It was due for a face lift, and it looks very nice. I'm digging the avatars! Mine is my favorite comic book cover when I was a kid of Sgt. Rock by artist Joe Kubert. Kubert was the first artist to inspire me as a boy, and it is cool to show his work off to those who may apreciate such things. Just look at the emotion and grit in the face or Rock. I love it! Some how I knew Burke would choose Alfred E. Newman It was that or a village idiot from Monty Python. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Offshoot Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 We are investigating the file size limit for the background image. Currently appears to be a bug so we've contacted the devs. It looks like the max attachment space has changed too. Under my manage attachments section it reads 860KB of 500KB (100%) used. Does this mean that some of my existing attachments won't appear on the forums now (the majority of the attachments are file listings of moddable files in the game brz files). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyD Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Way too much tiny type, even at the headers for the Forum Well, if you're on a PC there's always alt+ for bigger text. And bolder too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Palladium Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Liking the new forums, though I think the white color scheme is a bit... dazzling. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackMoria Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 The amount of white is assaulting my aged eyes making it bit hard to look at. Otherwise, a very nice look to the site and I appreciate the improved functionality. But my god, the white.... arrrrghhh * claws at eyes* 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chops Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Agreed, please change the white background to a darker color. Also the Battlefront logo, doesn't really fit with the color scheme and the size needs to be scaled better. Thanks for trying to improve the forum functionality. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AttorneyAtWar Posted December 16, 2014 Author Share Posted December 16, 2014 (edited) I agree with everyone on the color thing, I definitely think the background should be darker. Edited December 16, 2014 by Raptorx7 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Canadian Cat Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 So far it looks like the tracking of what you have read vs what you have not read is working as expected. I that sticks I'll be happy with the new forum right there. A few things I have noticed: I cannot find a setting to increase the number of posts per page. The old board had a way to increase the page size. There does not seem to be a setting for date formatting - I cannot remember if the old forum had that or not though On FireFox support for the spell checker on the post editing text block is not working. This is really not good for me:) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leakyD Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Functionally, new forum is great! However, no pinch-to-zoom on iOS. Boo! :-/ And pu-lease!!! let us change color schemes... (wth is up with this white trend!?!) Old colors scheme was great. How 'bout an "old school" theme, just for grins? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mord Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Very cool. Lots of nifty little options...but how the hell did my picture upload here? That was really weird. I don't do facebook but I do have a Goodreads and Discus account. Mord. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Kettler Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 ChrisND, I've looked all over, to include my Profile (what's up with the bizarre Reputation rating?), but I can't find a way to get to my PMs, which are now just north of the 90% mark and require some action by me. It used to be trivial to get to them, but I'm baffled. Am I simply not noticing an icon, or what? Goodness knows I've looked.

Bertram Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 (edited) Might mis something Obvious - but I cant seem to find my favorite option of the previous forum; "go to the first unread post". Handy for those quick moving AAR posts... Edit: never mind, found it. After loggin in to the first page of a post you get this option.

BlackAlpha Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 (edited) My feedback. I don't have any real problems with the white background, but I think it just looks boring. Edited December 16, 2014 by BlackAlpha 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Kettler Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Offshoot (and ChrisND), Thanks! Unfortunately, I have no such icon in either Safari 6.1.6 or Firefox 35.0, which I just DLed. Wonder whether this might be a Mac related issue? OS X 10.7.5 on 3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4 GB RAM, 256K VRAM.

agusto Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 I am very happy that there is a mobile version of th forum now BTW. Currently i am typeing from my phone and I find the new forum to be much more comfortable for use with small mobile devices. Big plus. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Churchmoor Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Quick look: working fine with laptop, tablet & phone. White background will take time my eyes to adjust (maybe some light grey or blue could be better color?) but yeah, overall nice upgrade. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vinnart Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 (edited) As far as the color scheme goes, it would be cool if each person could set personal preferences like say ATT email has. This way those who like a white background could keep it while others could set to whatever they want. Also, like some others, I will be in big trouble without firefox spell check Edited December 16, 2014 by Vinnart 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jargotn Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 The new forum feels weird. But that's probably just me getting used to everything. Reading black on white is easier but right now the forum feels a bit monotone and cold. I'd change the colour of the background to something darker. But that probably is personal opinion. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
