@Hobbit

+1 to you admins!

excellent job adding the metro theme.. :p

Yo, excellent job @Hobbit!

Don't particularly like the metro theme, but I don't hate it either.

Tho can't complain with the new features and bug fixes.

Thanks Hobbit!

You have to use @ :D

Yeah looks neat!

Actually, Hobbit said the @ way works, tho only in Mems+ forums.

Thanks Team!

Thanks for the update!

I think I need a few day to familiar with this new interface.

At least. Mainly it's the user info bar above each post that's different.

There will be some more theme options coming soon. So if you dont like the Metro or Default themes, you will have some more options.

Also please bear with me while I continue to make tweaks here and there and iron out little bugs.

Absolutely love it! Great job Hobbit!

Better cups pl0x?
Even though I has only donator…

one word: Lovely.

Use the new bug report!!

Great job on the new forum, actually like the theme

nice job!

Lol the site hasn't updated it's theme in the last 6 Years so it's good to see

Need to get used to this…will take a few days

This will be the same with me. Weird to adapt but great to finally get it done

The Donator cup looks really bad now though :(

New forums look fantastic! +1 everyone involved! :)

Excellent work guys, +1.

looks pretty nice, will take some getting used to but i like it! nice work!

That and most of the stuff on this theme, are identical to how I've had it setup on the old one for at least a year.. I forgot what it originally looked like :P

Very nice job @Hobbit! Love it!

I've fixed this. I missed a '^' in the regex.

Great work to everybody involved.
Its looking good and cant wait to see these new themes.

Is it me or does the yellow for the Members username need to be darkened a little bit with the new theme, and maybe the name's enlarged as well?

This layout looks good! Love the homepage, too!

I could def. go with some added darkening; for me, it's a bright yellow on a bright background and far too difficult to read from a normal set distance from the computer screen.

Reminds me of the bright yellow text in the RS game, when updates come in (ex = port minigame -> helping the black market guy or the bar tender serve drinks … the yellow update text is near impossible for me to read).

Maybe something more orange then yellow would work better. Also like the addition of a notification when someone quotes you.

Great job! I also notice a speed increase. I like the Metro fluid theme atm best. I'll check out the mobile version later too ;)

Yeah, the names should be bigger than the title imo.

I would like to see the name bold. Yellow slightly darker, but bold also gives it better visiblity already.

Would also really like to see a bigger font for the names

ZOMG ZOMG FINALLY THE FORUMS HAVE BEEN UPDATED!!1!!!!!

Now finish the script manager and maybe SRL is finally less vaporware than HL3 :D

edit: omg ugly smileys

edit2: @Wizzup make metro theme default plz

Wow, the names are bigger already! :highfive:

Names are much better. A couple of little things I've noticed though:

1) Rep bars could do with moving down a little. If you look at Olly's rep bars and cups, the Community Watch cup is pretty much standing on top of the rep.

2) Page numbers aren't aligned:

EDIT: Sorry, didn't realise there's a Bugs tab until now.

Really well done guys. Looks greta much easier for us newbies to poke around now XD.

If you need a hand with images or anything id be happy to help but it seems you guys have it covered.

-CRASH.

Yeah I am getting used to new layout already :D

New forums looks sexy and sleek, great job everyone :D

+ Need to ask a question, what's the difference between metro fluid/metro fixed?

From: Mr[S]
+ Need to ask a question, what's the difference between metro fluid/metro fixed?

Metro - Fluid: High % spread across the page. Less compact.
Metro - Fixed: More compact and less % spread.

Wow … new forum looks fantastic! It was a long "couple hours" but well worth the wait. Looks much more sophisticated now! I personally like the theme. It was a little weird wanting to check the forums and not being able to! Glad theyre back up!!
