New site design

[final fight cd]

so is there going to be a mascot?

So far I'm definitely a fan. Ads are a bit more obtrusive than before, but if that's what it takes to keep this excellent website online then so be it. One thing I noticed, the favicon next to the URL no longer matches the theme of the rest of the site - otherwise everything seems to be working and looks great!

I'm happy with the new design so far, though I was fond of the simplicity of the original design.

I'm really digging it. It's easy to navigate and very easy on the eyes imo. I really like the look of the header and I really like how most everything overlays your background image with a small bit of transparency.

As far as advertisements go, they really don't bother me since it can be pretty damn expensive to run a highly active web site. That's not to say I don't like the idea of having them disappear for logged in members. (although I don't know how you would do that) I also think the over states on your buttons work quite well.

I wish I could offer better constructive criticism but the design is so much my style of design that I really don't know what I would change about it. Ah I know! I would cut off the sides of the header so that it's uniform with the body of the page. Other than that, I like everything about the new look and can tell you put a lot of thought and work into it, so great job!

Too wide, the post box is fucked so I can't actually see what I'm typing. The typos will probably result in a satanic message telling me to rape gerbils or something. Also, the blue hurts my eyes. The black was more aesthetically pleasing to me.

Yes. Black is needed for the forum. Also, this may just be temporary, but I usually come straight to the forum by typing in racketboy.com/forums. Which isn't working right now.

There are crazy sized boxes everywhere but this thread seems to be ok. I like the new style though

I had to change the theme from "glossy blue" to the classic acid tech because the layout was really messed up.
The text was like size 30 and the formating was off. I tried Chrome, IE, and Firefox. Anyone else having this problem?

It's "forum" -- lose the "s"
And the forum template isn't done just yet...

Probably not...
