wileycoyote Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 the 'New Look' is looking good with clean modern tones...the newly increased banner sizes seem a bit overwhelming at first though! nice job. KD I agree with kratindaeng. Bit a shock at first ,but something,I'm getting used to. Have a good weekend Wiley Coyote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ping Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 George, take a pat on the back. Superb in every respect. Load times are fast and the display is excellent. (I am running on a 22" wide-screen LCD, and it seems to be made for it). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kankaroo Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 The old colour was perfect, the new colour is depressing, change it back lads the people have spoken. Agree, new colours are abysmal & depressing. Good thing you can change it back to the old style at the bottom left option thingy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jayjayjayjay Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 The smaller font sizes are doing my head in.On the plus side it will mean I will spend less time suckered in to trawling the forums. They pressing "ctrl" and "+" together. Do the fonts grow!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JetsetBkk Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 The smaller font sizes are doing my head in.On the plus side it will mean I will spend less time suckered in to trawling the forums. They pressing "ctrl" and "+" together. Do the fonts grow!! I like the font - it seems narrower and easier to read, but it reverts back to the old one in the "Post" box when you reply. Maybe George can get that one changed too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrbojangles Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 I like it. The main thing to me is how fast it loads............and it does that much faster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pumpuiman Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 Like the faster load. Color no issue. Problem: 1. don't see log off button, in new lay out 2. Top advert banner does not load next to Thai Visa Logo. (I suppose there it was meant to be. Instead it loads over the selection buttons view new etc. on all pages. George, I'm suffering the same problem. A banner ad loads over the "view new posts", "My Controls", "My assistant", and "My Friends" links. Is this being worked on? Colors fine with me........but I gotta have the "View new posts" button!! Eric I suggest you go into your internet options and play around with the font sizes. You should be able to sort it. I have a larger font because I have a big screen, and have no problems with the banner ad covering anything. iam currently reading the forums in the old blue. it works fine. just pick your colour option at the bottom near the rss feed option. change can be upsetting, cant it? Thanks for that.......I'm in default skin and got my "view new posts" back, but I liked the new colors I've got a severe case of "screenis envy" now. All my life I've been telling myself it ain't the size that matters, but how you use it. Your crushing my ego. Do they make Viagra for computers?

soundman Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 I don't know what you guys have done but this site is now performing on steroids. I just uploaded a 1.5MB file, took 8 seconds. So fast I thought the first time didn't work, tried a second time & eneded up posting it twice. Good stuff. Soundman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pumpuiman Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 The speed is awesome, all sites I visit seem faster now.....my mood has improved, I'm eating healthier, I exercise more and I seem to be re-growing hair that I've lost. Astounding!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bino Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 I haven't looked through all of the postings but I think that the new skin is GREAT. Colours are subtle, please don't change them. Text is so easy to read. Loads much faster and it's nice to see the pages on full screen now without the side adverts.Well done. I concur 100% with Artisan! I like this theme, especially the faster loading! The only whinge I have is the left hand "Thread Indicator" icons. I liked the blue, red green envelopes on the old theme. They were easier to distinguish than the current "folder" icons. Possible to add the envelope icons to this theme? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimjim Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 I just don't like that new skin but I'm using the old one, now, so I feel much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tinkelbell Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 It caught me off guard, while in the middle of reading one of the thread here, suddenly the page along with the new (gray& black) color taken over my beautiful blue page. I'm desperated want my baby blue bback ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scrunchielaura Posted June 30, 2007 Share Posted June 30, 2007 Hmmm, something's different..., perhaps better, but... Here's my vote against the gray skin. If I want to read gray text on a gray background, I'd turn my monitor brightness and/or contrast down. At least the text to background contrast in the old skin was reasonably high. Also, I'm using Mozilla on a Mac and the new font shows as a beautiful but impossible to read soft-focus anti-aliased font. I was starting to reach for the eye-glasses I don't have... PS, I used the instructions here to switch back to the old skin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canuckamuck Posted June 30, 2007 Share Posted June 30, 2007 I gave it a try for about a day and a half then I went back to the original. Reason: eye strain, I could not get that ctrl + thing to work for me to increase font size. Thanks for leaving the classic skin option and perhaps that is a better name for it than: IPB 2.2.0 Default. A bit counter intuitive wouldn't you say? I still love Thai Visa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcgriffith Posted June 30, 2007 Share Posted June 30, 2007 (edited) I think it is the greatest thing since sliced bread. Loads fast. posts fast, farking splendid. And thanks for nixing the short-lived sponser ads interspersed with posts. They sucked, bigtime. Colours are fantastic, soothing, and easy on the eyes. I give you guys a 10.

Whiplash Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 (edited) Everything except how the reply-posts are displayed is good, but that awful 'tree' of replies is a major downgrade.. You only see the a part of the first line in the posts, cant quickly eye through the postings anymore to see if there is something interesting in them.. Now you have to click on every post to see what people actually wrote, if im not missing a new setting somewhere to bring the look of the posts back as they were before ? then it brings down the total score to a big minus on the new look and useage of the forum sorry to say.. For me i did not see a big change in loading as others have reported.. Edit: Just found and changed it back to 'standard' (big sigh of relief) Edited July 30, 2007 by Whiplash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
