Tony D Posted September 26, 2008 Posted September 26, 2008 After a quick look around - I LIKE it. Pleasing to the eye. I don't know that there are other improvements. We'll see as time goes by.

DSTM Posted September 26, 2008 Posted September 26, 2008 (edited) I like the colours.A couple of things which I would look at the index Page,as the Main area is squashed to one side,which on my 19" Monitor looks odd. Another,the blue crosses,on some forums, on the left doesn't fit.Gives negative vibes.Maybe green also with a minus white line,in the centre, would look better. The members,sponsors and Advertizements Boxs may be better suited elsewhere.Looks odd where they are. A vast improvement.Well done. That's my opinion,at first glance,Mike.:) Edited September 26, 2008 by DSTM Quote Confidence, is the feeling I get, moments before I stuff something up.
Goku Posted September 26, 2008 Posted September 26, 2008 Great look Mike. I have seen this template on one other site but it bogged me down. The loading times here are still the same if not better. Definitely a vast improvement. :) -- Goku Quote
Dalo Harkin Posted September 26, 2008 Posted September 26, 2008 (edited) It is better and easy to see whats going on at more of a glance. I can back Mike up on the late nights :D The heart with the white cross on it is still at the top, that NEEDS to go Edited September 26, 2008 by Dalo Harkin Quote Intel Q6600 @ 4Ghz (Watercooled)Asus P5K premium black pearl4GB OCZ Reaper 8500260GTX Join Free PC Help - Register here Donations are welcome - here PC Build We are all members helping other members.Please return here where you may be able to help someone else.After all, no one knows everything and you may have the answer that someone needs.
Seth Posted September 26, 2008 Posted September 26, 2008 Extreme Tech Support - Free PC Help Forum Revamp! The PC Help Forums have been completely revamped and are now sexier and better than ever before Looks good Mike, but I don't think "sexier" as an appropriate or apt term to use. Am I missing something, or can we no longer see if the user is online by glancing to the left of his/her post? Quote Need help with your computer problems? Then why not join Free PC Help.

Mara Posted September 26, 2008 Posted September 26, 2008 Beautiful! Love the new look - what incredible colours and design - bravo!!!!! Quote
Goku Posted September 26, 2008 Posted September 26, 2008 Looks good Mike, but I don't think "sexier" as an appropriate or apt term to use. Am I missing something, or can we no longer see if the user is online by glancing to the left of his/her post? Agreed. To see the status of a person, just look at the bottom left corner of their post. You will find the green button there that previously used to be next to a person's Username. :) By the way, it seems that the font size has been increased. Could it be diminished a little as it is a little hard on the eyes? -- Goku Quote
Guest Wolfeymole Posted September 26, 2008 Posted September 26, 2008 Actually Goku what you have to bear in mind that not all the people that view the forum have 20/20 vision and it may well be that the intensity of the green bars detracts from the background font. The ergonomics of the colour scheme of this forum are adequate. Quote

The ergonomics of the colour scheme of this forum are adequate. Yes mate, I understand this but you have to look at what has become of our signatures. They definitely draw more attention than the post itself? The previous font setting was fine too as no one reported to have any readability problems. Even a size difference of 1 could fix the "problem" very well. :) -- Goku Quote
Seth Posted September 26, 2008 Posted September 26, 2008 Written by me : Looks good Mike. Sorry. I lied because Mike has put so much work into this that I didn't want to be negative. Anyway, this new style begs for a seizure. Quote Need help with your computer problems? Then why not join Free PC Help. Register here If Free PC Help has helped you then please consider a donation.

Guest Wolfeymole Posted September 26, 2008 Posted September 26, 2008 What? Do the colours remind you of your adventures into the peculiar world of chemicals Seth? :D Quote
testmg80 Posted September 28, 2008 Posted September 28, 2008 ok, but pages take forever to load The new look is fine, a little more cheerful, but the pages take forever to load, and I've got a fast DSL connection. :D Steve aka testmg80 Quote "There is no Dark Side of the Moon really, 'matter of fact it's all Dark".
Martrby Posted September 28, 2008 Posted September 28, 2008 "Sexier" is a term used lightly! :p This forums layout is HOT!

JEBWrench Posted September 29, 2008 Posted September 29, 2008 If "sexy" means "looks like everything else out there", then yeah, I suppose it's sexy. Still, better than the vB default.

Guest Wolfeymole Posted September 29, 2008 Posted September 29, 2008 Well actually it really doesn't look like everything else out there does it Jeb :p Quote
JEBWrench Posted September 29, 2008 Posted September 29, 2008 Well, not everything ;) but blue and white is extremely common in the Web 2.0 generation, and in my opinion, quite forgettable for that reason. Though! I will admit, that it does keep the colour scheme contiguous with prior iterations of FPCH, so I understand why that direction. Quote Need help with your computer problems?
