Do you like the new forum style?

[brainhulk]

I don't, orange clashes with my butt hair...

 

[Zucker2k]

It's hideous!

 

[Mayne]

I like it because now I can see what i'm typing in the reply box...before it was always white background..now its black...really makes my day.

 

[lxskllr]

I'm ok with orange, but I'd tone it down a touch. I use orange a lot when I make my own styles for sites.

 

[highland145]

So did some one say WHY?

 

[dud]

The old site was distinctive. The new is not.
Could I get used to it? Perhaps, but it will not be easy.

Even he would disagree.

I believe that this is the sort of style you end up with when your goal is to compete with the horrible interface that is Reddit, but you aren't quite ready to commit to being the absolute worst version of internet forums.

 

[pmv]

No, but I'm pretty sure I've disliked every revamp of every website I've ever used since about 1999, including I think the previous rework of this one. So it's possible I just don't like change because I'm such a natural conservative.

 

[PottedMeat]

not really

my eyes were burned out (again)

 

[fleshconsumed]

No.

Huge toolbar on the left and too much wasted space on the page all around. At least I can turn off the toolbar on the right. New site also does not play nice on FF with ABP and NoScript.

Seems like the new AT owners really want everybody to leave. There aren't that many of us left here.

Clicked on settings and got 503 timeout.

Any way to change the theme back to dark at least?

I was able to use dark, so at least there is a lot less orange. Replying in landscape mode is still messed up. I cannot see the edit window because of persisitent banner.

You can turn off the left sidebar with the hamburger menu. Go to setting to switch to dark theme. Dark theme has the strange combination of being in your face, while still having low contrast making it hard to see different elements. I'm a big fan of low contrast, but not the way it's done here.

 

[Insomniator]

Why can't they just offer a skin that matches what we've seen and liked for ~15 years?

Staying off this site until I can read the thread titles again at least.

 

[ctbaars]

Not a fan of the orange myself. Maybe its a seasonal thing.
But a bulletin board is just a bulletin board.

So Red Squirrel picked it?

 

[fleshconsumed]

Thanks guys, turned off left side bar and switched to dark mode. A lot more palatable now, but good god, the orange thread titles look frigging horrible with dark theme.

 

[nakedfrog]

Dark is decent, but I don't care for this font.
Do like how easy it is to turn of the gaping maw of the left and right sidebars.

 

[IronWing]

The color scheme on my old YaBB testbed forum was better and I designed that as a joke.

That... is not better.

Definitely not enjoying these 504 Gateway errors either.

 

[dainthomas]

This is the Iron Man 3 of forum styles.

 

[zinfamous]

hmm, don't know if it's the morning update or Chrome at my work computer now that I can log in, but AT style looks sharp and sexy now. Must check at home.

 

[BurnItDwn]

Can we get a Windows 3.x era "Hot dog stand" theme? It would be good.

Sample is here for any young folks who may not have lived through those dark old days.
