It even has its own custom login screen! Neat. Thanks for finally fixing up the forums, Turbine. It was long overdue, so I'm really really happy to see this get finished. Anyway... That's all :) Thanks.

A lot of people on this side put in a lot of very long hours to get everything to where you see it now. Not everything is perfect, but we're swatting bugs as they come up and prioritizing things on the fly. Some of the minor layout and font issues are pretty low priority, but we will get them sorted out.
Woot! They look *much* nicer than the old ones - cheers for the update!
Yea, they're not perfect (gray on black is an odd choice) but they are definitely cleaner and *seem* faster than the beta forums. And I was able to log in on the first day! It seems like you guys learned from DDO's forum-change mess. Good stuff.
Looks great and is much more responsive than the old ones. Love it!
I agree. I quite like the look of the new forums.
Well done.
Wow is my first expression - I went through several sub forums and my account all in the time it usually took to load maybe two pages of one post on the old forums.
Thanks for all the hard work Turbine! :)
Thank you for the new forums! Great job!
forums look amazing now,and this is coming from someone who is a forum junky, job well done, keep on doing awesome things turbine
I have very mixed feelings. The response if vastly better, but the light gray on dark grey is a pain to read. Having full width margins isn't so good either (there are reasons why printed materials with wide pages go over to columns), and the default font size is a bit too small.
I haven't dealt with the 45 minute auto logout yet, so I can't definitively say that that will be annoying, but I'm certainly not looking forward to it.
Oh I have, and it is really annoying. I went and got my digital kitchen timer and have it set to 40 minutes. It's irritating to have to do this, but.........Quote:

Thank you all for the hard work, it is much better and faster. That was a long beta on the old forums! Glad it's done.
Responsive, but dated looking and pretty ugly.
Really the only thing at this point that particularly bugs me is the text/background colour combo. It's kinda awkward to read stuff, hence why I've taken to posting in white. I'm aware that a change to this is low priority, but I would hope that allowing people to more easily communicate with each other here would bump it up the to-do list some.
The new forums do look nice, and they run much more smoothly than before. Thanks for all the hard work. :D
The post color has been brightened a bit. It should be easier on some eyes.Quote:

It is set to a percent of the screen! That's why it scales if you change the window size. :)Quote:

I'm wondering if this is a browser-specific issue perhaps.Quote:

I've tried both manual window resizes (Clicking and Holding to drag and resize) as well as just switching directly between 'windowed' and 'maximized' by clicking the appropriate shortcut.
The forums are 1000x better now.
@Sapience and everyone else involved in the revamp: THANK YOU!!!!!!
I'm using google crome. The last 3 letters of each line are not visible with out scrolling left and right. The title bar I can see as far to the right with out scrolling is "Play F" of "Play Free Now".Quote:

that is with it full screen. /edit I did just try it windowed and it did not scale.
Just thought I'd let you know what I'm seeing if it helps track it down.
same here. It does scale some for me, but not as narrow as I'd like. The minimum width seems fixed at about 150 characters/line for me...Quote:
