Introducing Atlas2 forums (beta)

[Calum Veteran]

The 'Pro' theme is excellent. I'm looking forward to the update to both the forums and main page.

[Ferret]

I take it you have dropped all IE6 support for this theme ?

Next to no images load. Not even barely usable in IE6.

Unfortuntly, at work, I have no choice but to use IE6 - We have no privledges what so ever in updating to a newer browser.

[surrealvortex]

Beautiful!

[Dapen]

Much better, though some parts like the fast reply header and topic view is a bit boring now compared to the new design.

Grats to everyone envolved in this design update! You should all be patting yourselves on the back. =)

There has to be a stage where the web moves on, and Neowin is probably one of the most modern websites out there. It's like a game developer making games for a PS1. They have PS3's now. People still use PS1's somewhere out there but there haven't been new games out for ages, apart from small, die-hard fans making them.

Neowins like a big game developer. :0 Only work with current technology.

Its really iPad friendly too. :whistle:

From what I can see the new home page looks neat too! :rofl: If I could subscribe I would.

I appreciate that - Unfortuntly, i'm forced to use the PS1 ;)

There was talk of updating to a later browser, but haven't heard anything for awhile.

Looks good, I'm using it. It does not show your avatar for now beside your user name.

[Jan Veteran]

Things I do not like about it:

It does not show your avatar for now beside your user name.**

The colour selection is collected in a horrid combobox, please use the same Red, Green and Blue balls from before.*

Can we have a drop shadow off the Middle content? It is a little too hard to see the content when it blends in with the background.

The background is too light.

Can the main buttons up top (News, files, ETC) curve into the content?*

Can the Ad have a round edge at the top right of it? It would look nicer with the round edge of the footer.*

*Picture included of a rough concept

**The blue box next to the name is where the Users Pic would be.

Atlas 2 looking kinda nice :)

[Shayla]

Sorry but i'll stick with da old one and wait for final Atlas 2 :p

[LightShadow]

Sweet :) On the Pro Version Now :D Can't wait for the final. But Yeah, I agree with Jan's Idea. Have the 3 Circle at top for the theme instead of the drop-down/up box at the bottom of the site.

[therat]

The Pro version is great :)

[Evolution]

I'm not really a fan of it, it's less space efficient :/

Good point, I think it wouldn't hurt if it was placed right next to the search button.

How so?

Additional dislikes:

1. When hovering over Community, the box under it shows instantly, whilst the Community button fades to white, can you make both fade or both show instantly? Both fade would look much nicer though.
2. I do not like that the Ad is in the footer, it looks out of place, I much prefer it where it used to be.
3. I do not like the Pro's redness Although Darkside will be for Atlas 2 so that is no problem
4. The background is FAR TOO light (I know this was in the previous list but this is a BIG deal.

That's all for now!

[Cupcakes]

Looks good!

Although it looked fug with my stylish script.. but saw you guys changed it to #header-top. Now I has pretties.

NOW GIMME PINK PRO AND PURPLE PRO! :)

I disagree, I think it's better at the top as it makes use of the empty space up top. And it frees up the space in the forum and makes it cleaner. I find it a better layout than the previous one.

[brentaal]

Atlas 2 Pro is the best skin ever.

[Evolution]

The content is pushed further down the page since there's most space on the top.

[Chasethebase Veteran]

I've never been a fan of the circle icons, maybe just having a paint bucket or something would be better? ;)

Also @ whoever said they should get a sub for the FP, we don't have the new FP design either :p

[Calum Veteran]

Atlas 2 Pro is the best skin ever.

It certainly is! I love it! :wub:

[Sub_Zero_Alchemist]

I'll wait till it goes final, but it's damn good skin :D looking forward to using it. keep up the great work.

Well, we got to see it, but not use it sadly. Blame Neobond. :devil:

[Timan Veteran]

No reason adding a theme menu yet. There is already one on the main page, this is in "beta".

And as for those complaining about wasted space. We've saved "a craaaaaaap load" pf vertical space. Merging the ad + header.
