Hey All,
As you probably noticed, we've switched to a new theme. Little less cluttered and a lot more mobile friendly.
It's optimized for Landscape mode, so please let us know if you encounter issues in portrait mode.
Thanks,
~ToyMaker~

There are a few issues that I noticed in portrait.
- Create Thread button is covered by the pages link
- Usernames and thread titles get shortened to a point where 1 word is shown.
- Stretched/Scrunched profile pics and signatures
-Should be floating on top of pages link nowQuote:

Tested on iPhone 5/Samsung Galaxy (Chrome)
Looks great on my Dino-1st Gen iPad.
There is another issue that I cant seem to find a way around.
- Selection of drop down items is impossible as opening up the drop down auto directs to the main page instead of allowing time to press a drop down item.
Can you also bring back the Whats New button? It used to link to threads by most recent posts. The current Whats New shows only most recent posts Activity.

Horrible, horrible, horrible. Half of the buttons link to the wrong thing for starters. I have no way of getting to my settings that I've yet to find. The gear icon takes to advanced search, the drop down somewhere else. I can't get to edit my profile. And those are the only two things I tried.
After so many of us saying how happy we were that you got rid of the last round of changes and went back to the original, you give us this? Way to go gree (not) listening to your customers yet again. Yet you will call it a success because you added the one feature that was asked, though probably implemented it horribly will be my guess. here is desktop view, because this mobile view sucks!
Give us the option to revert back to the old forum. For me, there was nothing wrong with it.
For the love of (take or pick) why ask, you aren't going to listen unless we say 'gee gree this is great, I reaaly like how you have made it painful to navigate, great work'
So just stop asking
I'll go find something that isnt broke and you can fix that to.
You need a Home link in top Navigation bar as not easy for those who don't know vbulletin that well to get back when click on new posts.
Yes, allowing users to choose the old or new skin would be great too.
Add your social media links accordingly to the top right hand corner under username.
Pay extra to get the add ons and skin links removed at the bottom of the page
But in general, the new skin looks pretty decent
All subscribed threads show as locked. Jesus people, your web developers are as bad as your game developers. Buy a dictionary already and look up the word TEST!
No zooming in or out either?
Button layout is a minefield. Nothing quite matches up.
Yeah, just noticed the lack of zooming, not good.Quote:

The fact that this is their only design with vbulletin style forums like this would start ringing alarm bells to me without heavy testing first on a dummy forum.
Can you please elaborate here? I just tested this and was able to successfully subscribe to multiple threads.Quote:

Try changing the skin between fixed and fluid or might need to adjust the footer size or perhaps the code needs adjusting.

You'll be able to select the retired theme from the drop down. It will be available at the forum or sub-forum level.

I can't show you a piccie of what I see because forum photo settings need adjusting in admin panel but the error is the drop down box is only showing half and when I click on it, no styles show. I will pm u the link to fix itQuote:

Ahh, see what u mean now. I can't change my style to see as it's broken so guess Toymaker is fixing some issues.Quote:

Doubtful, but at least it looks like we might have options. (though why they couldn't do that and COMMUNICATE that in advance is beyond me). Still a big thumbs up, better late then never as they say.
When looking at a topic and you click on general to just go to the corresponding forum you are redirected to the overview of forums for the difference games.
Something in your redirect links is screwed up.
BUT PLEASE FIX KINGDOM AGE FIRST and stop ignoring the community there.
To be fairly honest, you got bigger issues than a new forum theme and we couldn't care less that this has changed.
I thought I was on the wrong page, lol..
Good thing you removed that facebook link, that was annoying!
Was going to say this. On my iPad it's like there's a single colossal button centred on the Forums link covering all those links at top. I've switched back to the retired skin to get round this.Quote:

Nice clean skin. I can also PM now but was unable to PM on the older skin. Works fine on my Android phone in both landscape and portrait. Thanks!
i find the new skin startling, but serviceable. I like that i can choose several different versions/games as my header. However, i'm baffled why--again--my permissions to post a new thread have been removed. Surely i've been here long enough? ;)
We are looking into this. We didnt change anything here so you should still be able to start a new thread.Quote:

Note that you have the choice of switching between the old and new theme, so if you prefer the old theme, then you can change the format to your preference.Quote:

Here's another one I've only just found due to my involuntary vacation. Replying to a thread causes my memory usage to max out, making it lag severely. Freeing the memory allows me to finish normally. I've only tried this on the "retired" skin. I refuse to try the new one.
How can I change to the old format? I'm tired of hitting every button twice.Quote:

Any way to switch to the old format but without that annoying Facebook thing at the upper corner?
ETA when this will be done?
Same window open, but the theme keeps reverting... I change it again, and it goes back.
What's up?
(Grrrr, if the content isn't annoying enough.)
ETA for what?Quote:
