I think not.

Ask the hampstor.

You have been wronginated.

Kerrigan · Dec 29, 2006, 11:37 PM

A redesign, you say? Now that's a novel idea. ;-p

centerchannel68 · Dec 30, 2006, 01:11 AM

Maybe a few tweaks, but not a makeover. It's readable and getting... well.... better than it used to be. A redesign would only cause more problems and I don't think it'd look much better. It's very easy to read right now... and I like the supernintendo-ish looking stars and graphical buttons. They remind me of old videogames.

imitchellg5 · Dec 30, 2006, 08:36 AM

I think it needs a facelift. Right now it's stuck in the OS 9 days. Let's bring it up to OS X Tiger at least.

brokecollegestudentF04 · Dec 30, 2006, 10:50 AM

Os 9 Forever

Kenneth · Dec 30, 2006, 07:17 PM

Here to stay.

Philip J. Fry · Dec 30, 2006, 08:52 PM

What, no theme like http://www.aqua-soft.org/board/?

Kevin · Dec 30, 2006, 11:33 PM

We deserve SOMETHING different.

That's a sweet theme, except for huge avatars and sigs.

Blasphemy · Dec 31, 2006, 10:41 AM

No, leave it be.

rickey939 · Dec 31, 2006, 10:49 PM

Hell yes.

Dakar² · Jan 1, 2007, 01:36 AM

I'd love to see avatars the size of OS X Icons.

Kevin · Jan 1, 2007, 01:57 AM

And now is when Lat comes in and tells us that he thinks it's cute that we think we get to vote on such a thing, and locks the thread.

centerchannel68 · Jan 1, 2007, 10:33 AM

Can't you just skin it, and allow each user to choose how they'd like to view the board? I've seen something like this done at other boards, where you can choose how you'd like to see it, what colors for what parts, etc.

Dammit. You ruined my entrance!

We've spent years pushing along development of the new theme, covering many hurdles to do it. And now that we're within days of finally deploying it, do you honestly think a thread in the feedback forum is going to stop it?

Blasphemy · Jan 1, 2007, 11:53 AM

Must......stop......change! Arrghghghggh

No. Nor would I want it to.

So days until it's on huh? Nice to know.

Wait, is this days as in 24-hr days or days as in biblical days like how many days the world was created? Cause if it's the latter, we'll be waiting for eternity

imitchellg5 · Jan 1, 2007, 03:19 PM

Yeah, I want to know when too.

Kevin · Jan 1, 2007, 04:42 PM

He said in a few days.

Demonhood · Jan 1, 2007, 09:10 PM

it's being tested to make sure it doesn't destroy the forums, cause an outbreak of the plague, or take upskirt shots of nuns. it's an extensive process these things have to go through.

imitchellg5 · Jan 1, 2007, 09:11 PM

I'm very excited Demonhood. All this excitement of MWSF and MacNN redesign is making me hyper!

Lateralus · Jan 1, 2007, 09:15 PM

And annoying.

Icons? Pshaw. What we really need are avatars the size of an OS X Desktop.

Which admin-mod is responsible for making sure this doesn't happen?

It's Peter isn't it...

I'd like to second the notion of user configurable themes. I think thats the best to way to please the 'yes' AND the 'no' crowds.

Fortunately you wouldn't have to subject yourself to other people's bad designs.

Lateralus · Jan 3, 2007, 12:11 PM

Except on Fridays.

Kevin · Jan 4, 2007, 04:56 AM

You know someone is bound to make a g o a t s e x theme

Peter · Jan 4, 2007, 04:58 AM

I'd rather see an omg-ponies theme...

Kevin · Jan 4, 2007, 05:06 AM

Pink ones?

Peter · Jan 4, 2007, 10:53 AM

yes.
with tassles.

mdc · Jan 4, 2007, 03:16 PM

I would've voted no until I'd seen the new forum. There have been the odd images floating around which give a good idea of what it'll look like.

BTW here is the new Logo. I was searching through the directories and they left one open..

muhahah

turtle777 · Jan 5, 2007, 10:46 AM

Needs more pink

Gossamer · Jan 5, 2007, 10:59 AM

I swear I had a dream last night that the redesign was released. Maybe I need to take a break...

MattJeff · Jan 5, 2007, 11:17 AM

a little facelift would make my smile

Who said I meant less than a week when I said days? Especially when used in conjunction with the word 'years' as I did.

Dakar² · Jan 8, 2007, 01:21 AM

You've got days until we revolt!

(You figure out if its 'our' kind or 'your' kind of days)

turtle777 · Jan 8, 2007, 10:34 AM

Will the hampstor finally get a new haircut.

Darn, he looks so old school...

Well when one is speaking in days they usually mean less than a week. If it was going to take a week or more people tend to use weeks as measurements. Or even months.

mdc · Jan 9, 2007, 02:31 PM

I thought it was going to be released alongside MacWorld, but I guess not.

TheoCryst · Jan 9, 2007, 02:36 PM

Maybe the hampstor ate it.
