The New Forums & The Future Forums - an Inquiry

[501warhead 1796]

Greetings LotC!

 

You've probably noticed the forums aren't quite themselves today and I'm here to explain to you why.

 

We've recently updated to the newest version of our forum software and our old "Theme", or the code behind the look of the website, is now incapable of running. This is rather unfortunate of course but it means two things;

 

• Due to the lack of a custom theme we've employed a new, temporary theme (what you're seeing on this post if you're looking at it on May 2nd or so) in order to at least prevent the eyeburn from the default white
• We're going to be commissioning a new, up to date custom website design!

 

So with these two things out of the way now is the time that we're here to ask you - how do you want the website to look? What are your thoughts on the matter?

 

The polls above are just to help us determine a general direction. Let us know what you like and don't like!

Anyone who votes for the light theme or uses a light theme on literally any sort of application, needs to be purged from the DNA pool.

We are actively looking for feedback in the post about what we can do better! Please feel free to give us suggestions on how we can improve on the forums overall look!

This man knows his stuff

Keep it as a dark theme no matter what. Light themes are pretty terrible.

I can't tell which messages are new in my notifications

I like the current forum layout. I wasn't a huge fan of the last one, and this is certainly a step up. What I enjoy in a theme is dark focus with more colorful aspects to it; perhaps from the custom theme something akin to this would be a good choice

I like a lot of the stuff on the temporary one, but the transparency on the first post really turns me off. Might just be me, but it looks pretty weird.
