I love the new design :D

The new color is nice too, I was so disappointed when I changed from FFXI to WoW going from the cool blue to ugly brown.

Man, this will take some getting used to. When i loaded up alla, my first impression was wtf happened? Then i realised i preferred the old layout, i guess im not used to the brighter colours, although it is certainly more practicle. Good job, i guess ive got to get used to it xD

Is this the final look? I see room for improvements, but so far it's heading in the right direction.

The new navigation and additional content are, obviously fabulous. Kudos to the team on a job well done. I don't know if y'all are wanting design feedback or not, but IMO, the tan is problematic when paired with the gray you're using for the thread index (thread titles, etc.) and some of the links. I think you've got a few places where the color choices aren't doing a lot for readability. The darker tan especially. I think it's time to move away from the brown.

Ask for specifics. They'll take things into consideration. Some are quick easy fixes/implementations and other things might take a while.

But as for the header graphic I don't like it. Put something neat and interesting and more beautiful up there. The orc and human just look odd and the background feels a bit dark.

The colors are nice but the font really needs to be bigger. I think most users are browsing with high resolutions and widescreen monitors these days. The current font size is really too tiny and increasing in in the browser settings only makes the formating go off, specially with the longer account names of some posters.

Otherwise great job. The color choice is easy on the eyes in this day and age of LCD screens. After 2 years of looking to the left for the menu it'll take a while to remember to scroll up to find it now.

Will the other forums be getting the face lift as well or is this a WoW only look?

Character not found, or not premium.

Buy premium or check the lost and found.

The main page looks decent, but the messageboard is a bit hard on the eyes, too bright IMO, coulda used slightly darker colors. Ah well, change is good I suppose. It will take me awhile to get used to this, though.

I like the colours, but I would like it to be easier to tell which thread I have read and which have new posts.

Thought I went to the wrong site at first, hehe. Indeed a bit on the bright side, but not terrible.
Time to go check out the other stuff.


EDIT: Tried to update a charcter via armory and it brings errors. Looked at my night elf in 3D and it was a FREAKIN' Blood Elf,.......NOT FUNNY!!!

I like this layout, too, but it takes much longer for my computer to load up. Guess I need better hardware. Like the graphics in the quest zone search.

lovin it so far. Alot better than previous layout. Color scheme, could use some work, not making it as bright, and links easier to read. Other than that, it's ****** awesome.

If they increase the text's size (I believe the current size is the old size), they really need to change the font style. This is Tahoma or something, right? Definitely need a modified/thicker Verdana if you're going to increase the size of it. (Edit: Now it looks like a Verdana again. What am I smoking?) Or make the background color darker. That would solve the contrast issue and make it easier on the eyes.

Colors are a bit off, in my opinion. Look at the game's logo and go from there. That's what I'd do. I don't have a problem with darker colors, though. I know a lot of people do. As long as it's easy on the eyes and in line with the game's atmosphere, I don't have an issue with it. The current creamy stuff is neither good for the eyes or anywhere near related to World of Warcraft.

Finally, increase the left and right margins. On a 19" monitor I have to turn my head to read the entire post. Very annoying.

Just a note: The macros in the "wiki" section are not showing the full text. instead of "bracket" modifier:ctrl "bracket", it's showing me [9] (or whatever number I can't recall).

Keep up the great work!

The scheme, well....to be hoenst, I don't really like. I got confused when I first came here, i thought I was at wowace. I do like how you don't have to scroll all over to find the links you want though.

When you click on a person's name, it now turns to a grey "clicked link" colour. It would be nice to have that disabled.

Just a heads up. There's a thread on the Feedback board which is where we should post suggestions and such.

Loving the new layout.

The 3D view in the item pages is really cool - the motion blur on the Flash viewer is slick.
Smiley: cool

Test. Sorry, didn't know where else to try it.

Edit: Sweet, it worked.
