...these changes have made 0% difference to me...I wonder how many people havent yet discovered that you can change the size of the forum text resolution in your options?

that was a very useful feature of this site when reading through a thread and someone mentions a plugin, you didnt have to always link to it cause you knew that readers could find it on that dropdown box.
i've yet to find a page where the quick links drop down isn't there. this could be a recent fix, as i rarely navigate away from the forum. i seem to remember the problem occurring with the old layout though
ah i see now it's tucked away in the Quick Links part of the menu :oops:

seems like that should be a sticky on every page or something bold like that. i feel bad for those not in the know

Dear Site Designers:

OK you had your fun with the Emo-Dark-on-Dark color scheme.

BUT ITS UNREADABLE AND BAD DESIGN.

Please put the forums back to a READABLE state....


:cry: :cry: :cry:

I agree with this, kinda; too bad the idiot who redesigned this site doesn't. If he did, he would not have taken a perfectly good site layout and, using "The Magic Of Self-Absorbed Coding (tm)" turned it into a directionless, cramped, crowded, unnavigable eyesore of a site, the purpose of which is to display the designer's graphic aesthetics and programming sophistication, such as they are, to the whole world, hopefully at the expense of anyone who actually comes to SEE it.
