Timan has ported the Finity theme from the main news page over to the forums.

The skin isn't 100% completed, there are still a few bugs to iron out, which is why it is not the default theme yet.

To view it, please select Finity from the theme selector at the (left) bottom of the forums and report any bugs you come across here.

This theme was made for all screen sizes, like the previous "Shift" theme and it will be the last theme on Neowin that looks anything like the main page. With Invision Power Board 3 we will be creating a new theme for the site that steers away from what the main page looks like, so we have a bit more creative freedom between the 2 main sections of the site, a dedicated look for the news pages, and also for the forums.

Please enjoy, and if you don't enjoy it, you can revert back to your flavor of the Shift theme (in the forums).

Additonally, I don't like how pinned content seems to have been merged with regular threads.

Ditto, announcements and pinned threads do not stand out as they used to.

What is the best way to report problems or make suggestions? Posts in this thread or threads in S&FI?

The idea behind this is that people were actively ignoring the pinned threads because they knew they were potentially 'old' - the number of times we get threads in S&FI with the 'my topic view looks funny' question despite them being members for 5 years sometimes.

This topic is now closed to further replies.

    • EA launches in-game advertising platform for brands to "connect with audiences"

      By Big John Studd · Posted

      Yeah, this is absolutely nothing new and EA have done it before. Burnout Paradise, released in 2008, had dynamic advertising billboards that were updated via the internet and targeted people based on location and what EA knew about them from their profile. It was particularly notable for the fact that the Obama presidential campaign ran ads in the game, in an attempt to reach a younger audience who didn't watch broadcast TV any more. It was by no means the first though. Battlefield 2142 from 2006 had the same thing. In fact, Neowin wrote a story about it back then. https://www.neowin.net/news/ba...-in-game-ads-clarification/
    • Apple MacBook Neo is a blessing for Windows users, here's why

      By Kravex · Posted

      This is obviously aimed at the education where Apple has lost so much ground to Chromebooks in the last few years, but unless they come up with a comparable management system for education why would anyone switch back?
    • Samsung is shutting down yet another app used by millions

      By David Uzondu · Posted

      Here's how we arrived at that claim: Note that this is just Play Store downloads. The app is also available on the Galaxy App Store
    • Samsung is shutting down yet another app used by millions

      By +Edouard · Posted

      Google Play states the app had more than 50 million downloads. What other metric do you suggest should be used?
    • what other retro software do yall use

      By +InsaneNutter · Posted

      MSN defined our generation in some ways, kind of like Snapchat and TikTok have done for future generations. I have great memories of the MSN era in the late 90s / early 2000s. In the UK everyone seemed to come home from School and go on MSN for the evening. We didn't really have mobile phones then, so other than going and knocking on your friends door it was a totally new way of interacting with people. I also loved how I could talk to people I’d met playing online games from around the world. Inviting people to NetMeeting and messing about with the shared white board and webcams was pretty fun, even if webcams only ran at a couple of fps over dial-up. All the random things you could do with MsgPlus! were really fun - I suspect that made a few people jump with /shello randomly blasting Mr Hankey out their speakers! Maybe I’m just nostalgic, however I do feel the internet and computers were more fun back then.
