I’m having to log in every time I come back to the site, it’s not remembering me even though I’ve ticked the option to do so.
Also, when posting a message the box uses small black text on a dark background. I can hardly see what I’m writing. I know I’m at work at the moment and my work monitor is nowhere near as good as the one I have at home, but even so it’s proving difficult to post.
Yeh dito, I miss the white background box. 
I know MuffinMan, I said presuming as in, I am presuming they used x for x reason meaning I do not know for deffo that is the reason why there using it.
The Dark Grey reply box needs to be changed…looks nice but it makes it hard to see what u are writing.
Also a neat feature to provide would be a spell-checker that would check the spelling in preview mode of a post.
Googled a bit and found this one: http://www.jspell.com/html-spell-checker.html
Or perhaps just link to another great spellchecker service: http://www.spellcheck.net/
Not a bug, but I have to find all the threads I’d saved as favourites again 
I had saved a lot of threads from the Editing ET forum and they no longer work. Keep getting the error:
CGI Error
The specified CGI application misbehaved by not returning a complete set of HTTP headers.
Can this be fixed?
Yep the dark background of quick reply and normal reply are too dark, on my work PC with brightness at its max on both windows and the monitor I can’t see whatr I’m typing, so I apologise if I’ve made a couple of mistakes in this post as I cant pproof read it - just type and hope. . . .
That’s a good point from eRRoLfLyNN, and as well as breaking people’s bookmarks, any time someone has linked to a thread here that’s screwed too. This even applies locally within the board - every thread link in the ET mapping resources thread is hosed for example, which is unfortunate!
An alternative to making the reply boxes backgrounds lighter might be to make the text in them white to be consistent with the rest of the site.
It’s not remembering my login either, which the old board did.
I have experiences with phpnuke and know how difficult it is to make a theme where all colours are right, good luck on that!
Also, it is very difficult to tell which forums have unread posts in them from just the “envelope open” vs “envelope closed” comparison… coloration would go far in that respect.
And where is the thing that says what users are logged in and browsing? I don’t see that anymore.
session time is too short, i get logged out without closing the browser which means you set a time, as the cookie is set wrong or not at all (didn’t check that) i have to login after not having posted for some time…
i also have to re-login all the time. I re-booked it in my faves menu and now it says
Splashdamage.com Remeber the Seamine!
What is the seamine? Are you making an aquatic version of ET where engineer divers can plant seamines or am i just going nuts
little anoying is that in the forum there’s a long black vertical “stripe” at the left
I agree with Loffy, the whole forum seems shifted to the right as of now, and I’m constantly finding myself checking if I need to scroll the screen to see all of the message or not.
Looks good. But the black left area can be reduced. It is 4 centimeters on my screen (1,6 inch). Maybe half would be enough. EDIT: Moving the content over to the left would perhaps force you to redraw the image at top (cutaway some fire) - however it has to be done. I definitely think the black area (1,6 inch) is too big.
Looks strange with this almost 2" black stripe on the left, appart from that fine.
SH
I’m running Opera 7.21 and resolution 1152x864. Browser doesn’t show horizontal scroll bar and text is clipping from the right. Text not visible on form buttons… hmm… wonder which one is submit =)
the new look rocks 
but the page is a mess when viewing it with Opera. As the other guys mentioned it before: no horizontal scrollbar and the button font is not readable
The picture in the upper left should prolly link to the forum index.
The smilies on the reply page shouldn’t have width and height attributes (maybe that’s on purpose but I find it kinda ugly)
Either reffering to Underwater Massive Ball/Chain mines or Semen (CUMSHOT).
You decide… \o/
At the top of the news page it says mouseover for more details… but when you mouseover there’s nothing to click on… I hope I made sense.
EDIT: Referring to the large boxes with Wolfenstein, Wolf ET, Doom 3, Past Projects…
please remove that pointless left border, it`s a waste of space and looks fooking awful in 800x600, especially if we have the background image turned off.
were not idiots, we know its the splash damage forums, we don`t need an oversized pretentious logo to remind us.
imo, the most important aspect of a forum is the text and ease of posting and you`ve made that a worse experience for some of us in favor of these new gfx.
I loved using the old forum, but Im not impressed in the slightest with the new one, and if you keep this fooking stupid time limit and logging us off if we dont post fast enough, then I for one won`t bother coming here much longer.
Several of these things aren’t bugs in the strictest sense, but rather requests for minor changes. Some of them are redundant (i.e. other people have posted them)–I think this is appropriate so that the overall desire for a change can be gauged.
[ul][li]The empty space on the left being used up by the title graphic is a bit annoying… While I’d probably get used to this, it is (IMHO) mostly wasted space. Everything feels shifted to the right, especially when the logo itself is no longer visible because you’ve scrolled past it. I think it would look nicer if (after the forum index, at least–although phpbb’s templates didn’t really offer a way to differentiate, iirc) the left of the logo was cropped off.
[/li]Example:
[li]The ‘Forum Damage’ logo used to be a link to the forum index–it’d be cool if it became one again.
[/li][li]The ‘new posts’ icon on the front page is very similar to the ‘no new posts’ icon–a little more contrast would make it easier to see whether there are new posts.
[/li][li]The aspect ratio on some of the icons in the thread list is wrong, so they look awful.
[/li]Example:
[li]Some of the buttons still have a few white pixels around them (a hack from the original subsilver theme, which actually had a white background)–it’s just a minor thing, but it’d look nicer if the edges were fixed.
[/li]Example:
[li]The emoticons are all squished to the same size in the message composition window, so the larger ones don’t look right at all.
[/li]Example:
[li]In Mozilla-based browsers, the radio/check boxes are shaped strangely (probably in relation to the font being used beside them.)
[/li]Example:
[li]I realize you can’t please everyone, but the white text is difficult to read on the lighter of the two backgrounds (at least for me.) Perhaps darkening the lighter background would be a reasonable compromise, as far as readability.
[/li]Example:
[li]The message composition input is even darker than the dark message area in the threads. For consistency and readability, it would be nice if the text in that was white.
[/li]Example:
[/ul]
That said, I do like the changes overall. Good luck ironing things out.
[edit] Here are a few additional things I noticed:
[ul][li]Links within posts aren’t distinguished from normal text (no underline or alternate color), so it’s difficult to see where they are when they’re given a title.
[/li]Example:
This part of the text is not a link but this is a link.
[li]Posts no longer have a named anchor associated with them. With the old forum code, one could link directly to a given post by using a named anchor to the message ID of a certain post, e.g. http://www.splashdamage.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=4578#39663.
[/li][*]I’ve experienced some session weirdness as others have described–the forum failing to remember my login info (even if ‘remember me’ is checked), seemingly random logouts, etc.[/ul]
