New Look

[Cam]

In celebration of Taylor Swift officially announcing the upcoming release of her latest album this evening, we have decided to treat you guys with a super awesome new look here at FP... Please bear with us as @Malcolm works on tying a few loose ends (e.g. awful looking staff rank bars 😛), but we are so excited to finally have this beautiful theme live... Inspired by some of the amazing styles from our past, such as FP's wonderful style back in the days of phpBB 3.0. Anyway, feel free to report bugs here. There will probably be a few.

As always, thank you for your continued support of Forum Promotion. 🙂

Spoiler: Known Bugs @ Release

• Garbage staff/usergroup rank bars that need to be fixed
• Shop items displaying in profiles a little funky (need to be centered, reduced in size, white BGs removed, etc)

Yeah, new themes are always fun to tinker with, glad you got this one launched 🙂

Love this new look. For me, personally, I'm finding it's easier to navigate the site.

Thank you @Cam and @Malcolm for making this happen.

Ooh this looks amazing, very retro styled!

Glad we ditched that old theme 😛

@Cam, I don't see the badges in the post bit in the spoiler, but you mentioned how there are only 2 rows and it looks odd.

IS this theme here for good, and also have an option to go back to the other themes as an option for members as I'm not a fan of the theme 😛 Unless you are still editing and working on it to improve it Xd

I was coming to the site as per usual and I see a new design. I was "oh, neat."

It looks good. I like the gradient look.

Just an F.Y.I. we are about a year out from another design change; xenForo 3.0 is coming.

 

[Cedric]

Looking good. 😀

Potentially, but there's no rush to upgrade as soon as 3.0 drops, needs time to mature a bit once it does drop.

I'm really digging it. You guys have really out done yourselves this time. 😀

 

[Nyvorlas]

Wow! This design takes me back!

Looks great. 🙂

Most likely, the game plan will be no more design changes in the short term, and just focusing on getting this style converted to the newest versions of XenForo when we determine it’s in our best interest to do so. For example, we’ll be able to convert to XF 2.3 with ease when we it’s time to cross that bridge.

Unfortunately, it’s impossible to please everyone. Every style change comes with a little bit of positivity, a little bit of negativity, and a little bit of indifference.

Is there anything in particular that you would like to see improved?

We do not plan on supporting our previous XenForo styles going forward.

The phpbb vibes are even more present when browsing mobile. It’s awesome.

Looking good. No complaints from me 🙂

I was told in the similar path. I was told that 2.3 is a small change, its gonna be more of a dark/light schema change (everyone here won't understand unless they see xenForo's official forums). While 3.0 is more of a skin change. In fact, Kier anticipates that it will break skins, because compatibility.

This looks really good. Outstanding work @Cam
