Messenger Stuff Community Forums

Me and Chris have created a forum theme. We decided today was the day it should be released. It's set as default theme for now, as we want feedback. Feel free to choose the old theme from your user control panel.

We know it doesn't match the site, but we believe we need a bit of feedback to see what we can improve.

The theme is called "Calm stuff". Hence the grey colour.

In 24 hours time the theme will no longer be default, and you will all still be able to choose your own theme.

Please leave all feedback about the design here. It would be very appreciated.

I like where this is going, but it needs more blue. I think all the title bars should be blue, to have a good contrast.

Like it was said in the email that I just sent to all members, the theme does not match the main websites, but ideas behind the theme could easily be added to the other themes. :> So whatever most people like, we can easily implement to the themes that actually match the main website.

I'd also like to say a word of thanks to ValSpy, who recently left the team, for having made the new user group icons

It is very nice, so nice infact i decided to use up some of my hour wi-fi time here in Egypt (damn you family holidays!) to comment on it... Yeah, very appealing and professional. However, two "bugs":

When I wasn't logged in (using IE) the large msgstuff logoat the top was shrunk, so it was barely readable.

Also, the arrows for the forum sections were stretched quite a fair bit.

Other than that, it is a very nice design, but as been said, it doesn't fit with the main webiste.

I noticed that on IE6 on XP a couple days a go, but as it way in vmware, I thought it was just lagging, I'll look into it.

I'd also like to say that a new spell checker feature will be on-line in a couple of hours, stay tuned for more info .

yeah needs a bit more blue, rather than boring grey tones, but looks good so far

Looking very good on my Firefox, but IE7 doesn't seem to be able to render the rounded corners. And yes, some blue please.

I'm glad my email is getting some nice responses. Like I said about the blue, all is possible
What do you all think of the top navigational system?

That's what happens in Safari 3

offtopic: The "insert into post" button does not work.

Odd bug, nice text.
