Not bad, but a lot of white... I liked the color separations of before, though this design is better in a lot of other ways.

The empty star is like a half star, so yes, four + empty is in between four and five. When you pass the next milestone it gets filled in.

How come I'm no longer listed as "Addicted to MacNN"? Something different in that respect? I'm going to need a new t-shirt!

Thank God edit still works.

There are some quirks that I hoped would be fixed but are still present.

 


Ah yes.

Wow, this looks great. I actually already like the sigs shifted to the right, it does make for smoother reading. The new spoiler tag is spiffy, also. Great job, effgee and Adam Betts! I don't doubt that this made for some headaches.

I didn't like the old theme so I really don't see how I can complain about this one. It's much nicer over all and I am happy that the quick reply feature is much improved.

Changes abound! New sig for the first time in years...

I should put in my "big ups" for Effgee and Adam Betts. The icons rock and the layout is great.

I'm impressed with how quick and smooth the change-over was. No bugs, no lost post counts (that we know of) etc

It's probably worth pointing out that the default text is now one point larger, but there is a "styles" menu in the button bar at the top. If you're logged in, you can choose how you want the forums to be displayed. The small sans-serif is small Lucida as it was before; there's also a serif option now (Georgia), which looks nice too.

Also, there are no bugs because we have been testing it for a long time. The staff and a small group of beta testers have been using the theme live on the forums for the past many weeks and ironing out small bugs. There are some small things here or there, but those are things people shouldn't really notice. We wanted to polish it as much as possible before releasing. Something may still come up, of course, but by and large things should be very smooth.

On the right where it says styles, you can change the font size to a degree.



Edit: Gorg is way to fast.

Edit2: Resizer on the image is pretty nifty.

Georgia is my default serif font. It's like you guys read my mind. Or were aiming for mass compatibility.

I must say, this new theme looks great on my sig.

Overall I like the new look. Great job! I only have two comments. The blue border on the sides is a bit wide when viewing it on a smaller screen like my ibook. I am not sure if it is actually narrower than before, but it seems more squished to me. My other comment is the extended spacing between each thread. It is like it is double spaced now.
