New site design

WOW

I don't know if this has been mentioned, I didn't wanna read through the 10 pages of this thread. But the font color of posts are grey now, text in quotes are still black. I don't like the grey, it strains my eyes to read it. Is there any way I can change it back to black?

I do like the new homepage though, very nice.

Edit: Wait, did we lose the IRC chat? Can't seem to find it anywhere.

We officially killed off the channel on the EverywhereChat server by inviting Racket to the new one on GameSurge.

I must have been out of the loop I think there should be a link to that on the main page, or something.

I apologize, I'm not myself today

I don't believe GameSurge has a dedicated in-browser chat client, though I may be wrong on that.

Another reason to switch to Rizon! (I'm going to keep picketing until it happens.)

Forum posts or blog posts?

I prefer the new topics on the front page too. The mock-up had both active and newest. Can we do that in this final version?

I agree, I like new rather than active. Racket, now that you've taken away the "New Topics" menu from the front page, is there any way in the forums to view them? I know you can look at "New Posts" but I just want to see new topics. If there is no longer any way to do this could it be added to the wish list? Thanks.

See, before everyone complained that they didn't like the New topics because they fell off too quickly and most of the best ones weren't showing.

And like I mentioned earlier, I had both of them displayed on the front page during testing and there were usually a lot of duplicates, and in turn, redundant/wasted space.

I don't think there's a perfect solution. I can see if I can figure out a way to have a link to newest posts on the forum header/toolbar...

That's all I'm looking for. I could care less where I have to go to see the new topics, I'd just like to see them. If I could afford to spend more time on the site, I'd be fine with new posts and spending the time to sift through them, but with my limited access, I like to hit up the new topics then maybe B/S/T, then I'm gone.

That is a good point, and it will be even more of a problem as the site grows. Personally, I just check the site often enough that nothing falls off before I see it.

That would satisfy me. Getting a full screen of new topics instead of just a dozen would be an improvement actually.

Forum posts or blog posts?

I'm talking about forum posts. The text in posts looks faded. I couldn't place what was wrong until I saw a quote in a post. When I look a quote and then the text below it, there's a clear difference. Is it just me?
