<-------- Hover over my username, click the down arrow

That dropdown menu looks weird.

Other than that, looks great!

[edit]:

<------------

Minimum post hight looks too tall. Single space that text, perhaps?

Looks fine to me.. It has always looked like this. Unless I am seeing something different

I like the skin, it looks good but I need to get used to it. It seems as if the main page got a lot more attention and everything fits more as one. However, I do know this is still BETA and a lot of changes will happen so I'm waiting patiently. :)

Closed the site for a while and opened it now again. The skin is awesome, I litteraly dropped my jaw!

One note though: Could you please make the "sticky" topics stand out more from the rest? There is no clear difference between normal and sticky posts. A simple divider would solve the problem.

EDIT

Where can I find my control panel to change my avatar, signature of other information? It isn't under the option "Control Panel".

People, you can still easily tell a stickied thread because of the "sticky" icon next to it. If people weren't reading these threads & wasting moderator's time by posting questions which could easily be found in these threads or rules, then it makes sense.

You can still easily tell a stickied thread from a regular one because of the icon.

Maybe. The bars separating the lines looked a lot darker and thicker on my eeePC last night.

low color depth kinda trashes it.

It does look different than Shift.

Not reading all the pages here, but I like it. My only gripe is the missing Games and Software tabs which you could hover over to see the latest entries. I'd rather not leave the forums page just to check them when I could just hover over it.

That's the only thing I don't like as well. Same with the Blogs.

I like the vBulletin way of presenting stickies this way. Now people don't just scroll over them by default and actually have to check them out.

But it's infuriating trying to find the first non-pinned thread. I've seen and read the stickies, I don't need them to keep getting in my way. If people do break the rules by ignoring the important threads, that is their problem.

I honestly really don't find them that hard to skip over the way they are in Finity. Pretty easy for me, actually.

Well, good for you, but for me there isn't enough distinction between pinned threads and regular ones. Even giving stickies a different background colour would work, just something to separate them from the rest of the topics.

This topic is now closed to further replies.

    • Rockstar gives last-gen GTA V players free upgrades tomorrow

      By +Random Stranger · Posted

      I don’t get why if I bought the game on the last get I needed to pay $40 to upgrade to the new version in the first place and people who love the game and play a lot would have upgraded already so this is just PR and a chance to grab new players who forgot the game long time ago I think
    • Nearly half of American adults now use AI, but concerns are also growing

      By tradesetter · Posted

      The term "use" is doing a lot of heavy lifting in that headline. "Use" can mean opening ChatGPT occasionally to ask for the definition of a word or information about a specific topic. If you frame the question around how many people use it as a daily driver in their work or personal lives, that number is a lot smaller. Those are the people who pay for AI. Nearly everyone else is happy to use it for free, but doesn't see enough value in it to pay for it.

    • Linux 7.1 arrives with an NTFS overhaul and major hardware performance boosts

      By [deXter] · Posted

      I think you meant the "ntfs3" driver, but yes there have been a lot of fixes for it in this release and previous releases, not 100% sure if the issue you mentioned is fixed though. In any case, the new "ntfs" driver in 7.1 doesn't have that issue (at least, no reports of such have come thru), but your kernel needs to explicitly enable support for the new driver first (like how CachyOS kernel has it), and you need to edit your mount points in /etc/fstab to use "ntfs" instead of the other drivers.
    • Epic Games says Unreal Engine 6 will help developers "build content faster" using AI models

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Epic Games says Unreal Engine 6 will help developers "build content faster" using AI models by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Epic Games is rolling out the latest major update to Unreal Engine 5 today, and at the same time, the company also dropped some information on the next-generation version of the product, Unreal Engine 6. This was already revealed a few weeks ago alongside the new Rocket League upgrade reveal. The company says it is combining the features of Unreal Engine and Unreal Editor for Fortnite to create this new version of its popular media creation tool. On top of creating entire games, the new engine will also focus on letting developers operate large-scale live service titles more easily, whether by shipping content into their own ecosystems or into Fortnite. The use of large language models is also mentioned here, with Epic saying it will be a core part of the engine. "We see LLMs, generative AI models, and tools like Claude and Codex playing a central role in helping you build content faster while maintaining the creative control you need," adds the company. Here is the rundown of what's new about version 6 of Unreal Engine: With all these changes to the programming model, portability upgrades, and generative AI integration, Epic says the new version of the engine will "change a lot about how games are made." The company aims to ship Unreal Engine 6 into early access in late 2027, with a full release planned for 12-18 months later. Epic Games also dropped a lengthy blog post about the new Unreal Engine 5.8 update for game developers over here. The release is focused on delivering better performance, customization, and streamlined workflows for development teams. This will be the final major update for this version of the engine before Epic switches to focus fully on Unreal Engine 6's early access launch.
