I do like the night mode, and the blue and orange. Miss the tile giant green though.

The night node is hurting my eyes. Maybe I should draw the curtains or just wait until it's night before I switch over to it again. I like what I see so far. Will just take a few hours to get used to where all the icons and buttons have moved to. There seems to be a lot of wasted space at the top of the page (next to the logo). I'm sure the old site had more info, but maybe it's my mind playing tricks on me. The old site colours & design are now fading away!!
Well done to the team on the migration, I bet you will be celebrating the success of the project. Cheers Sean

Hey Sean. Thanks for the feedback.

It's only me involved in the forum upgrades so it's been pretty intense I have to say! I made sure I upgraded all the other forums first so I when I got to TF I was quick at doing it.

As for the wasted space, you're right there, we used to have sponsors logos and what-not. I'll be adding those back to that space soon enough.

I just need to get my head around sorting the dodgy logo out first though haha

It's OK! , a bit different, fresh, not second nature yet of course but found the smileys, really like the blue and orange, Dachsies smileys work, too, but the writing seems really really small, I know I can change my writing style, or the view within my pc but is there a way to make all the writing a size or two bigger? That would be fab.. Well done, Dan

oh the nightmode... nope, no good for me either, but I like this blue one... but the red one...JEEZ!!!! :yikes:

I'll work on the nightmode one. All styles are work in progress for the moment.

As for the font-size. Which font G? The main content font or the rest?

The font size for the main content area is the same as the old forum, though the username and usertitles and things not related to the actual thread content is a size smaller. And the reason for that is to ensure when unregistered readers (though members too) are browsing the forum, they can clearly see what the actual thread content is.

Oldies should find it easier to use throughout. If you didn't get used to the old site, you will this one. 🙂

You can change the style colours mate. There are a few done already but I'm yet to make more (suggestions please?).

You change the style by scrolling to the bottom of the forum and using the drop down box on the left hand side. 🙂
