I'm the only one who don't like the new theme?

[Oz.]

From my point the old theme (Finity) has been ten times better.

i'm losing my interest with the new theme.

[what]

Yep, you're the only one.

Not the only one, but one of the very few.

[MrChainsaw]

I think I prefer finity too...

[nav1sk]

There is only a small group of people on here that don't like it.

[insomniac9]

You may not be the only one but you will be in the minority that don't like it.

[SimplySchizo]

I was expecting at least 5 reasons on why you felt that way...

Noo, please don't lose interest - You're such an active member.

Finity definitely didn't feel the same when we had to go back to it temporarily. Atlas is much better.

I really like the new theme - it's got a much smoother look than Finity, particularly on the news page.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. Mine is that I like it. A lot.

I liked Finity, but Atlas is just so much better. Going back to Finity was like going back to Win XP :D

With any change there will always be those that donor like it whether it is the theme or just a single button

The new theme is just brilliant... but again, opinions are as diverse as people.. you just can't please them all!

I'm a bit of a minimalist, so I do miss some aspects of the old theme, such as the more compact look of comments (avatars are a form of bloat imo, despite their uses), simple boxes, and less liberal use of gradients. I'm also not really liking the "Online" strip next to usernames--it strikes me as too invasive, given the dimensions and colour. I also think it's inconsistent to not also have an equivalent "Offline" tag.

EDIT: Ok, after just a few minutes of use, I think the use of gradients is really too much. It gives the forums an unecessarily chunky, rounded, and bloated feel. This is a classic case of "just because you can, doesn't mean you should". But like I said, I'm a minimalist, so you may not agree.

It's posts like this that put less active members off. The fact that you have a higher post count than another member does not give you the right to talk down to them for doing nothing more than expressing their opinion.

I just joined the other day and think the current theme is awesome :D

I do hate the online strip. It looks cheap and tacky, and the red color clashes with the entire site.

[Yelreve]

The only thing I miss is the speed :(

[game_over]

the new site/design is really good. Although i agree the red online strip is ugly. It would look better as green (a better representation of online) or even better, just a green circle.

I love the new design. I wasn't a huge fan of IPB3 from the beginning, but the Atlas/IPB2 hybrid that Timan made really helped ease the transition.

I agree with you.

Once you get used to the theme, and all the new features, it really is better. People dont like change, its a natural habit but after some time youll love this theme...
