We've made quite a few tweaks to Pegasus and set Midnight to default (also on the main page). How do you rate it now?

We also have our new db server, and the speed increase is noticeable, well done DaveLegg for that!

Please note that this thread isn't for some well known forum bugs, that are actually fixed with IPB 3.2.3 (we're still waiting for them to release it).

Its a lot better now, but the name titles still look out of place should be placed at the center of the avatar picture..

[trag3dy]

It's my favorite neowin theme yet.

[SHoTTa35]

Liked it from the beggining here. Definitely liked the tweaks though and addition of midnight.

Just waiting on few last bugs to be tweaked out with the update and it'll be all good

[cork1958]

Bugs? What bugs?

This is the best Neowin has probably ever been in all aspects!!

[+littleneutrino]

Still looking great. no complaints here.

[Charisma]

It's OK. I still liked the way the main forums page looked before better, but the tweaks have made a difference. I'm just happy since we have Darkside now ^_^
I really do miss how PMs won't jump to the last unread post anymore like the regular forums do, and there's no "jump to last page" button there.

It looks good after the numerous tweaks have been applied. Let's hope IPB 3.2.3 really fixes the remaining bugs.

The "Go to last page" button should be above the title of the conversation.

Indeed.

Can't believe I stuck to Darkside now after the upgrade haha.

I like Pegasus a lot, but somehow Darkside totally lured me in.

Normally I'd always use the most blue I could get, now I'm in the black ghetto

I like the design aesthetically, but somehow I've found it much more distracting than the previous one. Contrast/clarity issues, I think. Apart from that I like it a lot. Midnight works out quite well though.

Oh, one thing I find really annoying: the default IPB mobile skin doesn't have any "go to last page" button.

No sir--only a "Next" button, and if there are more than two pages, that still means you have to click click click to get to the last one.
Plus, even if you jump to the last page, you still have to scroll down to the last message. No really big deal I guess, but I'm spoiled on how it was before--when you clicked on the "new message" notification, it would take you straight down to the newest one.

FWIW, a 'go to last page' button appears once the conversation has reached 4 pages.

Here's how it looks for me:


As for having to scroll all the way down, just hit the 'end' button on your keyboard.

It is not that this theme is bad, it's that the old theme was better. This is like a minor downgrade.
