It would be rather impossible not to notice the new layout but just in case you guys are wondering what's going on we decided to give the forum a new look to coincide with the conest ending today. We wanted to harken back to the days when the forum was all shades of blue and gray but with a stylish new look, so it's like retro-futuristic. Jryu designed the graphics (of course) so let's give him a round of applause. Feedback is appreciated as always. -Pheno

I love it. Got the blue look perfect, but with a nice new layout. The orange is a bit bright, but that's the closest to negative I coudl possibly come up with.
Otherwise, I love it.

nice man great work, but iwas like wtf when it was the old back drop withthe blue boxes but now it makes sence. Although i now have to go make a new sig lol. i think gildy will suit this colour scheme quite nicely.

I love the new scheme, it has a Bluezoid/whitehead feel to it IMHO.
Will the outer of the board remain green ? Cuz it kinda clashes.

I'm really liking it eh. As stylish as the old one was with all the matching colours and whatnot, this one is easier on the eyes and easy to read as well. Me, I've always been a fan of blue as well so it get's a thumbs up from me ^_^
Might wanna change the green in the background though xp

I confess I thought my PC had just gone stupid. It does that at random times.
But I like the new look, nice to get away from the black. Not better than the old one, just a refreshing change.

You guys are funny, if you're seeing the old green background then you need to hit "refresh" or maybe clear your browsers cache, Jryu created a totally new image for the background and the header. -Pheno

Hold "shift" and click refresh to clear your cache in case you're getting a mishmash of the old and new look.

I'll be brutally honest. I can't stand it. I'm gonna poke the forums a lot less because of it, because it's very very hard for me to read. I'm getting a headache looking at it. Maybe it's just me and some fusked up problem with discerning colors, but I have to work way too hard to see it The blue text on blue is very hard to read, the orange clashes and the grey cell highlight is uhg. Blue would've been better. And yes, as people've said matching on/off buttons would be good. That and i'm not a fan of either of those shades of blue, too washed out. With a little tweaking it could be awesome (love the new graphics) but I just can't look at the colors for too long

But no, the green "New" buttons don't really match. A bright blue'd match better. No, he was talking about the background, the old background was still loading for him because he needed to clear his browsers cache. Anyways the buttons do match, that exact same shade of green is in the header image. I might change it anyways just because I'm not sure if I like how it looks. -Pheno

if you made them about the shade of the blue of this post, I think they'd look good. Could we do something about the text though? To me it looks almost grey-blue on blue and on the less bright-blue posts it's really hard to see. I dunno if making it "Brighter" would work or not. Color balance is touchy crap.

Ah okay, got the new background. To be honest the new background is harder on the eyes than the old one but luckily for us there's nothing of importance written on it. My original comment on the main sections still stands though, it's great XD
Just might wanna add though that the words "Badmin" and "Wrathministrator" are hard to read with these colours no matter which of the two backing colours are used but that's pretty much inconsequential xp
