Posted September 12, 2016 (edited) Changed back to the red version. I had problems in reading after some time. The old is better for reading. Edited September 12, 2016 by SilverQuetzal Share this post Link to post
Posted September 12, 2016 Thanks for leaving the red option - it was harder distinguishing even fansites on the lists in that section on the new one. And I personally prefer the individuality and warmth of the red one to one looking like a clone of a million other sites I haven't bothered with as they're too hard reading.

Posted September 12, 2016 I like how it matches the main DC area, changed my spring for it, will see how I do with reading since the font seems smaller^^ Share this post Link to post
Posted September 12, 2016 I hated the old red layout which is why I'd been using the blue one for so long. But I love the new update and will be using it from now on. It's sleek and sophisticated. I love it! Thanks TJ! Share this post Link to post
Posted September 12, 2016 My immediate first thought was "What happened?? Change it back." Because I thought my phone had glitched up. But then, I actually looked at the new layout, and went "Oh this is nice." I do miss the little scrolls that told you what kind of post was what. I would like those back. Especially, the burnt scrolls. It made you feel like some drama happened, and the topic had to be shut down. The symbols used now are a lot smaller and a lot less noticeable. If you could make the bigger or change them back to the scrolls, that would be great. Share this post Link to post
Posted September 12, 2016 Loved the old layout but this is so sleek! I'm sure I'll prefer it when I get used to it. Lovely! Share this post Link to post
Posted September 12, 2016 i have a question about this new calender is it something each user has or is it sitewide? and do you think you'll be adding events onto it? like lets say you release a couple new dragons tomorrow. would you be adding that into the calender? Share this post Link to post

It's not new, it has always been there. For example, DC's Birthday has been on it: https://forums.dragcave.net/index.php?act=c...ndar&m=5&y=2016 Share this post Link to post
Posted September 12, 2016 I like the new layout, except for one little thing... the white is too bright. Other than that I love the new layout and will be using it! I wish we'd finally upgrade to new Forum software, however. I use other Forums who use the new software and I like it better. Thanks for this amazing update, TJ! Share this post Link to post
Posted September 12, 2016 I like the new look better than the old look which I found glaring and difficult to read, but I prefer the blue or winter layout and will continue to use that as long as it is available. Share this post Link to post
Posted September 12, 2016 I don't know. It's too stark and really bothers my eyes, which is bad since I suffer migraines frequently. It just needs to be toned down somehow. I don't like the white. Share this post Link to post
Posted September 12, 2016 (edited) Thanks TJ! When I first looked at this layout I thought you introduced a mobile skin for forum too, it looks similar to DC mobile skin (without the BG). I like the new theme, it's more "simple" and clean, but I think for the moment I'm going to stick to older till I can gradually shift to new one as I'm having trouble navigating at my usual speed in forum due to new layout and I got quite a headache trying to read topics on this one in mobile! Thanks for your hard work! Edited September 12, 2016 by Amaterasu-sama Share this post Link to post
Posted September 12, 2016 I used to produce skins for the InvisionFree Community (about 10 years ago) so I know that it can take some effort to put it all together. Great work TJ Share this post Link to post
Posted September 12, 2016 (edited) I'm attempting to stick with this new look because after the initial shock I think it is indeed growing on me. But one quibble... Could there be a more clear and obvious way to tell which topics I haven't read/have been updated since I last looked at them? I miss the little scroll icons which made it abundantly clear if I had read something, commented, or if it had been replied to since I was last on the forum. I have figured out that the star indicates what threads I have replied to, but the very faint and slight color difference between read and unread topics makes it really hard for me to tell which have new comments, so on and so forth. If there already is something, I can't see it. Edited September 12, 2016 by silver_chan Share this post Link to post
Posted September 12, 2016 I am content with the updated look. Thank you for the hard work. Share this post Link to post
Posted September 12, 2016 I switched back to the blue skin. This new one is just too bright, and I *really* missed the 'new posts' eggs/scroll markers. Share this post Link to post

Posted September 12, 2016 I just noticed the new look today. LOL Nice new layout! I like the colors. Share this post Link to post
Posted September 12, 2016 Nice! And the new button size is easier for mobile, too. Icons will take a bit more getting used to, but everything else is fine and snazzy. Being able to a person without going into their profile and stuff will probably facilitate trading, too. Also using white makes for better spoiler tags now, I bet. Share this post Link to post
