What did everyone expect? An upgrade? No money = changes. And do you play the forums or do you play the game?
I like this new change, it feels better imho. Only thing I miss, was the design of the Reply/Edit/Quote button it was clear and big, now it's still noticable but less than before, at least for me.

It's always the end of the world when any social website/forum changes their layout! ....... until a week later when we realize it's new & fancy.
Please add the "Reply to Thread" button in the case where no user is logged in, then have that forward to the login page, just like before. Just a matter of preference.

-Get rid of all this eye searing beige.
-Change the colors so no writing blends with its background.
-Make things look less bad. I know you're gonna just deny this, or claim it's subjective, or some other bull, but you've made an extremely featureless theme that's offensively generic. Old forums looked EXTREMELY distinctive, they had a soul, for the lack of a better term. Now it looks like some random schmuck's forum he hammered up in a few hours for his 3 buddies to log in. The big banner at top is boring. Buttons are boring. Colors are INCREDIBLY boring. Overall effect is one of genericness and amateurism. "Boring and generic" could be the name of this whole new theme.
-Seriously, these colors ****ing suck. Change them.
Color combinations should be changed to something that compliments the grey background on the site, but won't blend in, this... off white/peach color is just "IN YOUR FACE" and its not at all pleasant to look at.. in fact it makes my eyeballs wish they could grow little hands to stab themselves with toothpicks... *cringe*
Would like to see: the way the old forums let people know if a funcom employee/moderator posted in a thread, the ability to add custom signatures (I mean actual banners/signatures that you see on pretty much every other forum in the world), updated profile pictures, the "race and class" stats back underneath peoples names when they post....
I'd actually prefer to see the old forums back, but I guess I can live with this.. just.. please... change the colors!!!!
Weren't the old forums also beige/tan/brown as well?
Also, looks like they fixed the top of the forums, looks much better now.
they were more orange to me, the old forums. the new ones are just too bright for my liking. the colour combinations just don't appeal to me is all
