It's nice that Crimson got this new forum layout done, and I'd hate to ask for more, but I have a suggestion for these forums.

I'm not sure if you already plan to do it, but my idea is to change the posting layout back to its original. (I'm NOT talking about the color scheme, I'm talking about having the posts on the left).

For example, have the posting layout look like this:

I miss that style and I would like to have it back. Thanks for considering.

I prefer a real forum layout, a layout with users' names on the left and their corresponding messages immediately to the right, in alternating background colors to easily visually differentiate between two or more messages.

How can't you tell the differences between posts? If you see green, then you're at the end of the post. The only thing I'd really like is a Fast Reply.

whoa.

It's not that you can't tell the differences, it's that it makes it easier to tell the differences.

It wouldn't be another layout, it would be the way it was before what happened a few months ago.

That feature is still here. There's a down arrow that appears on the left of the topic names. Click it.

The way it is right now is better. The posts are black and there's a large green border in between each post, it's easier to tell when you're to the next post.

How about adding the page links to the top of the forum and thread views too, instead of just the bottom?

I can tell the difference between posts, it's just that I like posts being on the left a whole lot better.

Oh, you just want the posting layout, not the cell color changes.

whoa.

Yeah, hopefully you're the only one who thought that.

REMEMBER EVERYONE, I'M TALKING ABOUT THE POSTING LAYOUT, NOT THE COLORS.

I was talking about the layout.

Quote:

in alternating background colors to easily visually differentiate between two or more messages.

I was referring to that comment, that having the large green border that is the user info over each post makes it easier to tell when you've moved to the next post (rather then having the posts alternate between two slightly different colors).

Having the user info over the posts instead of beside it allows some more room for the posts, breaks up the individual posts better, and looks better in my opinion.

I'm really not keen on making any more updates to the site than necessary. At this point I have only altered two files (the CSS/aka colors) and the header for the logo)... I don't want to make updating a bitch.

I'm the bawss.

A few parts of the forum, like the text boxes in the search form, the headers on the moderator "move to" popup, etc., are (light) yellow over white. They need black text (or green text over black to fit the forum theme?), because yellow over white is quite hard to see.

Yes, that's on "my list"... the author of this forum set all of those to use the same CSS style which means I probably have to make some edits I didn't want to make. :\

I'm the bawss.
