New theme feedback

I actually like the white theme a lot. It's clean and a nice change from what we had previously.

I'm enjoying the white feel, and after you iron out some bugs (e.g. quotes are still dark), I think it'll be superior to the old site.

I'm liking the white...but its definitely not finished.

As far as bugs go....everytime I make a post or edit a post I get taken to a white screen. Nothing else.

Go for it! I liked THX before...but if you're going for a cleaner, more refined look, then keep tweaking this one.

Going back to the black theme for a little while.

I prefer dark text on light backgrounds, but I think complete white is a little too contrasty. I think a very subtle gray or tan tint would be good. Thanks for continually improving the site.

I was about to post what Jeff said. I hate the new look, I can hardly read anything without focusing 100% of my attention to detail...

I think if you are going with a white setup, do something like fat wallet.. two shades of gray tints per entry with white background. That would look the best, and also make the shout box look a little better than the wall of darkness going on now, shallowing souls one shout at a time.

If the color on the edges of the site were interchanged with the white in the middle, it would be a lot better. Read the GoW2 thread (which is all shifted to the right for some reason) to see what I mean.

Middle section is going to stay white with dark text.

Edges will become darker, possibly black.

Will work on adding more contrast between comments.

Shoutbox is getting a major overhaul. No work will be going into improving current shoutbox.

Thanks for the feedbackzor. Help me know what the hardcore users like.

Also, I have a plan to "invert" the dark text on white theme to give you an option to have a light on dark theme. Same theme, just inverted.

I like the white background... very clean, and I think it matches the trend of a lot of gaming websites right now.

Jaywhy confirms problems with margins on browsers not using webkit (eg Excluding Chrome)

Maybe separators are needed between comments

I concur on the separators. Boundaries between comments and articles on main page will help out tremendously!

I have trouble quickly finding where someone's post begins and ends. there needs to be some sort of difining line between people's posts.

Ditto that!

Do a SHIFT-F5 and check the comments now.

Comments look hawt now.

And I really, really would like the color of the side margins as the main section's background color. If not, I can deal with it the way it is now.

I'd like it if you could stay away from the black colors; it makes the site look more professional, and I don't feel as guilty leaving it up on the screen when I'm at work. When the site was black, it LOOKED like I was browsing a gaming site. Now, I might be browsing a gaming site or a programming forum!

I think it looks ugly; at the least I feel it's a downgrade from the black.

I enjoyed the darker scheme because it gave THX a more unique look, and I would prefer reading white text against a dark background instead of black font against a white background (I don't know if people will agree with me if I say it's easier on the eyes).

Do you think you could put pictures in the side bars?

I don't like the pictures on the left?

@Cyn: I don't understand what you are saying...

@MK: A white on black theme is planned. It will essentially be the inverse of this white them. Hang in there.

@rapture: It's okay, I still love you no matter what.

I kinda miss the lighter-colored background on the sides. However, I like that the shout box and sides match colors. If they were both lighter-colored, that would be like chocolate and peanut butter.

I like the dark gray color in the node-based shouts.

Could the color of highlighted text be changed? It's really hard to see what you've highlighted.

@Mintz: Are you talking about the colored background of quoted text.

I can as attachments?

I mean when you highlight text (like this text in the parentheses) as if you're going to copy/paste it. It doesn't turn blue, it just makes the text blue, which is hard to see.

Could the signature/timestamp comments be a smaller font? For example, a post that looks like

Could look like

Also, could you assign default pictures to users who don't have profile pictures? I ask because Celery's lack of a profile picture throws me off when I just see white space next to his posts.

Don't bring me into this!

Hahah, well it's not just you.

I noticed the highlighting of text is only an issue with Firefox. IE highlights it normally.
