I feel like this design is cluttered. Its kind of like you just threw a bunch of white windows on a blue background. The layout is not bad it just feels weird. Idk maybe it will grow on me.

Is it me? or does it feel a bit more like Nastysoc with a blue background now?

Nice soft blue background and lost the clutter of the 2083 different forums.

With my 1280 x 1024 desktop there is alot of wasted space to the right and left. As stated by others makes for way too much vertical scrolling. An 800 x 600 reduced resolution example below:

looks much better this way. i admit that i don't like the way we are forced to look at the ads. they come at a sacrifice of space for the actual forum posts. like someone else said, causing a great deal more vertical scrolling.

it seems like the resize tool is selectively resizing pics. when it works, i love it, tho.

+1. is there a way to use an autodetect for monitor resolution? having everything resized to be as wide as your maximum viewing area would be awesome.

IE7 has the ability to zoom as needed (in the lower right corner). This does not keep the fonts and smileys smooth. A 110% zoom makes it all fit better, but creates the distortion as shown below:

Hey guys,

This design will be temporarily and what's going ot happen is that we're going to try to take the colors from the previous design, maybe make things a little lighter and easy for the eyes (but not light enough where everything seems lifeless) and benefit from a lighter and cleaner layout.

The current design is good... we will probably launch the next design within the next couple of days and we will stick to the next design with very minimal changes.

We got a lot of compaints this moroning with people who felt very strongly about the new layout. One of the major complaint was about the messed up tables which I wasn't aware of, but that got taken care of. The next design will be very nice and clean, and we will have all of the moderators review it before launching it.
