Poll:do You Like The New Forums?

[AlphaFang]

Personally, i think the new forums rock!

If I could only kill the childish Windows RG(err, XP) buttons, all would be good...

...it's not as bad as the loss of a truly threaded view. like the old DCForum had. Now, it's so much more difficult to track long posts.

While I like the new forums, I'm gonna miss the old ones. That was on quality they had about them above any other board I've ever seen: ease of viewing. Oh well.

I posted somewhere else that I didn't like them, but here I'll look even stranger! I don't like 'em! Bah Humbug! :angry:

Funny, I found them almost unbearably difficult to read. Especially the italics.

I like these forums more. But then I know I will have TONS of fun with the ability to change text styles.

The D2 buttons on the side are a very nice touch.

I also like having my ^_^ !

They might look ugly, but you will be happier when your posts don't get eaten. B)

Hmm, I am somewhat confused by the threading though, as you can see.

[soccerguy315]

I like them. I am used to fourms like this, where all the topics just show up in a line, and people usually quote what they are replying to, and the new smilies are great. :)

The old fourms got hard to read when the messages got crammed on the right side of the window because they had been replying so much.

[Archon_Wing]

I love these forums, if only more people would post more frequently. :) Wait, we'd have to change the name then :P

[Taeme]

That was a qualm oft mentioned in the days of the D2x beta.

Or the Idiot Invasion, as many might recall it as.

[Copadope]

I agree with you, Roland. I liked how the other forums listed the posts in threaded order, then showed the posts under that in order. But I'm sure I'll be able to adjust to the new style.

[Artega]

For the most part, I like the new forums, but I will miss the threaded view, like everyone else. I guess it's time to start using that Quote button, eh? And the WinXP buttons look idiotic <_< And a further note, I don't like the 2x-spacing/1.5x-spacing. It makes reading things a bit harder, especially when you're used to everything in small type and crammed together. And out of sheer curiosity, what font is the default? It looks kinda like Tahoma, but Tahoma isn't listed in the FONT menu. Too bad there is a choice for Verdana. Verdana ist teh pwnage ^_^

/EDIT: A post count would be cool, too. That way we could have some, er, "friendly" competition between who has the most posts -_-

This would just encourage people to post junk to up their post count. It's much better to not have it! :)

[Mael-Storm]

I personally think that wouldent be sucha good idea, we might get some pretty dumb and pointless posts. (not that we dont already ^_^ )

[Mael-Storm]

Deja vou :P

[TaiDaishar]

Ahem guys... you DO know you CAN change how threads are viewed from My Controls...

[Nystul]

Just adding this for emphasis, in case anyone hasn't figured out how to change the view: Got to My controls -> board settings, and set View Threaded? to Yes. The board default option is not very good if you intend to participate in any long threads, since a lot of people will be in threaded view and their posting style will reflect that.

I also think that it is often a good practice to quote the portion(s) of a post you are replying to, even with the threaded view.

[WarBlade]

And out of sheer curiosity, what font is the default?&nbsp; It looks kinda like Tahoma, but Tahoma isn't listed in the FONT menu.&nbsp; Too bad there is a choice for Verdana.&nbsp; Verdana ist teh pwnage ^_^

Read the Stylesheet:

TABLE, TR, TD { font-family: Verdana, Tahoma, Arial; font-size: 8.5pt; color: #FFFFFF }
a:link, a:visited { text-decoration: underline; color: #ECB916 }
a:active, a:hover { text-decoration: underline; color: #FB913C }

And other styles identitfied by "class".

[Bolty]

And the WinXP buttons look idiotic <_<

Couldn't agree more...if ANYONE wants to take a stab at making better ones, see the post about this in the Suggestion Box where I ask for help.

Well I had ideas on doing exactly that even before you put that zip file up for download. Unfortunately, time is not on my side very much at the moment. :unsure:
