Steven P. Administrators Posted October 14, 2011 Administrators Share Posted October 14, 2011 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).

freak180 Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 Its a lot better now, but the name titles still look out of place :( should be placed at the center of the avatar picture.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trag3dy Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 It's my favorite neowin theme yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger H. Veteran Posted October 14, 2011 Veteran Share Posted October 14, 2011 Liked it from the beggining here. Definitely liked the tweaks though and addition of midnight. :yes: Just waiting on few last bugs to be tweaked out with the update and it'll be all good :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cork1958 Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 Bugs? What bugs? This is the best Neowin has probably ever been in all aspects!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleNeutrino Veteran Posted October 14, 2011 Veteran Share Posted October 14, 2011 Still looking great. no complaints here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charisma Veteran Posted October 14, 2011 Veteran Share Posted October 14, 2011 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.

+Frank B. Subscriber² Posted October 14, 2011 Subscriber² Share Posted October 14, 2011 It looks good after the numerous tweaks have been applied. Let's hope IPB 3.2.3 really fixes the remaining bugs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glassed Silver Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 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 :D Glassed Silver:mac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jub Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 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.

Charisma Veteran Posted October 14, 2011 Veteran Share Posted October 14, 2011 The "Go to last page" button should be above the title of the conversation. 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.

Here's how it looks for me: As for having to scroll all the way down, just hit the 'end' button on your keyboard. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vice Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 It is not that this theme is bad, it's that the old theme was better. This is like a minor downgrade. Reacon, Glassed Silver and Elliot B. 3 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This pretty much sums it up, yeah. And Mephi, thanks. I guess 3 pages is the unlucky number! Anaron, I shouldn't have to press End on the keyboard, dammit! I want it to work like before! /me kicks and screams and throws a tantrum ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the top right, next to "Reply to this topic" there is a link that says "Go to first unread post". Edit: It seems to only show up where there are unread posts. Now that I've read the entire thread it seems to be gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allan Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 I liked it from the get-go, and, I am the only one who uses the green... shame, it's the best colour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shakey Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 Not great... Still the text is like a shade off of what the background is for many of the columns/fields. There is still also the logging in bug, for the main log in screen. Pressing tab from the "Username" field does not go to the "Password" field. It throws it somewhere else, causing me to have to manually click on the correct field... not a huge problem, but very annoying. I don't dislike the layout, but I do dislike the color choices. Keep working at it :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeerFan Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 I love it. The one thing I really miss is a "back to top" button. Kinda sucks having to scroll all the way back up to the first post when you're finished reading all posts. Edit: Nevermind!!! I found the "Top" button next to MultiQuote.
