    I think that changing black bg to some kind of dark gray would make my eyes hurt less..

    Damn, SLUR as far as the eye can see

    Does anyone have the ingredients to summon Terra or Mut? I never got to meet those guys.

    I thought about that too, or that we can change some parts of the white background to grey, and/or increase the darkness of the existing grey areas to lessen the contrast of the current site.

    That said, human adaptation is marvellous, for better or worse.

    edit: well here's a little list of stuff I thought up when browsing the site earlier. Nothing that's priority fix though, so time can take care of it.

    - Put custom title more towards the username and less towards the rep bar

    - Banner is pxls out from left and right, fix

    - Icons need to be changed in the front page, either resize, remove or customise.

    - Rep button looks weird. (edit: looks more or less fine now, though red highlight makes it hard to see)

    - Contrast of the site can be lower. consider using more, or a deeper shade of gray.

    - Having just a bigger red box selecting the current section looks weird. Consider increasing the font as well

    so that it is more obvious what the red box is meant to do. Also helps you see more easily which tab you're in.

    (Note: looks less weird after getting used to the site)

    - Re-introduce the "thread below this have not been updated since your last login" function when viewing

    NEW POSTS or NEW POSTS TODAY

    - "View first unread post" doesn't always work sometimes, can load the last page instead of the first unread post.

    - Avatars in "visitor messages" are scretched, regardless of whether the original avatar is large or small.

    (Note: doesn't appear to be so at the moment. Problem is either fixed, or is inconsistent.)

    If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~

    I could probably rustle up Terra provided he's not too busy on his end.

    It may be along the lines of "hell no! OMG set me on fire instead!"... we shall see if he ever responds to me. :P

    The new design is great. Plus we get to have a bigger size restriction for the sig and avatar. Yey!

    Thanks shinta|hikari for the sig.

    I usually don't like change but this new version is very clean. The only problem I have is that sometimes it feels a bit cluttered. Maybe its just me, and maybe the feeling will go away, but the general forum page has too many bright colors clumped together without any black in between. Can't be picky though haha, its a nice job overall.

    I think the "Started by X, Sun, 01-16-2011 09:12 PM" below every thread title is mainly what's making it feel cluttered.

    I just want a "Forum Index" link next to the "Contact Us, GotWoot, Archive, Top" at the bottom right, and i'm happy :P

    Sure, i could use the "Quick Navigation" or simply click "Top" then from there click "Forum"... but i'm lazy and picky damnit!

    Yeah... I don't see it happening simply because there's two ways to get there already as you mentioned, for the price of one more click.

    Umm, shouldn't the new (or old, though they're never around) mods have caught this post and cleaned it up? That's the problem with going foreign I guess... they don't have the same sensibilities as Americans when it comes to slurs and inappropriate content.

    I'll see if I can make that happen. For some reason the hook defined there isn't firing off, but I've got an almost identical hook up in the header that fires perfectly. But yeah, you could also click twice and move your mouse a bit

    This use is no different (and no more excusable) than calling something "romo" online. We all know what it means and we all know it's a slur.

    No gay, btw, just arguing for the sake of it.

    I'm not about to get into a semantics argument with you so I'll just leave my opinion on what should really matter, intent.

    How can we know your intent with any certainty from words posted on a forum? It's like sarcasm, sometimes it's hard to detect in the printed word.

    the default color scheme is like being stabbed in teh eyes by the color red. except its not even red, its like a lame maroon or something.

    But.... being able to post vids into a posting makes up for it.

    PS: That FX series looks great.

    I like the default color scheme. If my eyes have a problem with it, my brain hasn't interpreted any signals they are sending to say otherwise.

    Ditto on the new FX show. Very clever and original (please please be original). I'll be looking for it.
