Forum Update And New Theme

The notification icon (dunno about lighter schemes) in the dark schemes is annoying. Get the red flag to show someone has responded or quoted you, you go to hover the curser over it and as it shifts to show you the notification it also shifts to the right which moves your curser off the notification and over to messages.
Minor but annoying.


Hmmm.... I don't have that same bug on any of the three computers that I use regularly. Are you STILL using IE? If so, go out and get the LATEST version. I use IE on my Surface 2 (there's no other choice really) and it works extremely well with the forum.
 
@LaserSVT and anyone else who uses the dark theme:

Take a look. The only thing that is changes here is that the background has been darkened. All other aspects are user changeable. Do you guys like this scheme better, not as much, or are you indifferent to the change? Let me know.

I like it. I also like the black/gold theme you have there. I'd call that one "GT350H" ;D
 
page dont load as quickly as the old forum, and while they are loading, they jump around a bit, unlike the old forum. and while i am getting use to the menu layout, i liked the old one much better than this one.
 
On my wndows 8 phone with uc browser new site sux just as much as old. Several technical issues flashes white, slow loading numerous ads, difficult navigation, general issues...

On server 2012 r2 with IE 11 it looks pretty good, but is a little slow to load no technical issues.

On server 2012 r2 with FF 28 it is pretty nice no technical issues.

On my nook color it looks pretty good a little slow to load probably due to ads.

I am not using any ad blockers or fancy viewers like tapatalk. Biggest problems are on windows phone, once market share increases issues will decrease with windows mobile in general.

That's Windows Phone for ya.

Mobile site looks great on iOS 7!

Stay tuned on that one. I have noticed a lack in luster for page loads and that sort of thing myself over various media. Some of that could be the device you are on and some of it I know is the server and/or the proxy service for the server. That will get better with time as things are tweaked and smoothed out. It will also get a bit better as the caches for the proxy and your devices catch up to the changes.

I'm a little confused as to what the advantages are of having the Cloudflare proxy. It appears to improve some things (like picture loading) but causes a performance hit with others. It should get better as more and more people access different portions of the site and those caches are rebuilt. That's the theory that I'm going with this morning, anyway. :D
