Haha, righto. As I type this I notice the Quick-Reply font size to be bigger than the forum's default post font - nothing major. Maybe a keeper if everyone feels comfortable with it? I think it'll take getting used to for long posts ^ ^.

Very nice upgrade, it spooked me a bit when I loaded up the site for the first time using it though. It'll be good when everything is polished and up to your standards Walter, thanks for working to improve the site. :guts:

Definitely an improvement Walter! The new forum has a more modern feel to it, the light grey colors, the good old Skull Knight face overlooking things... thank you, I seriously love it!  :ubik:

Definitely digging the new layout! The added contrast gives it a much sleeker look, and previewing posts is a lot easier now. :guts: I'll admit that for a second I was worried because the oekaki link was gone, but it's still in its usual spot. Thanks for spending so much time making the site better, Walter!

Two small suggestions: 
1) The avatar in the upper right of the page header is cropped quite a bit.  Not sure if this is intentional but it looks a little funky.

2) On the main forum page, on the right side, wherever it says "Last Post."  This is now always a bolded font, making it a little difficult to spot new posts that have a bolded "Today" date.  I believe the old site didn't have this "Last Post" bolded and was a little easier to note the updates. 

Nit picks really.  Liking it so far.

Yep, you'll also notice  your avatar in this page is also cropped from the right side. It sucks, but it's just one among many things that need fixing.

Indeed, good eye. I'll be changing that stuff around. I want that to be a simple, easily clickable link to go to the thread. There's no need to have all that clutter in that section, since that's where most people click to view the latest thread activity. Should be streamlined for sure.

I haven't posted in awhile, but I thought I'd say I do enjoy the new layout, though it makes me feel a bit nostalgic considering how long the old one was here. :judo:

EDIT:  Also, is the Flash Chat gone, or am I just not seeing it?

A small update on some minor progress I've made in changing around the look and functionality of the forum.

I'm afraid it's not as easy to fix at it looks. But yeah, like I said I'm working on it. Your Simpsons avatar will soon be visible in ITS FULL GLORY.

Along the way, I've also fixed the logo, and re-added the quick-search bar at the top.

O.M.G. Walter! You don't know how much that cut off arm has been killing me!  :judo:

Excellent work.  :badbone:

I also wanted to point this out because I noticed it on my phone:

Which is the varying sizes of the thread titles listed in 'Recent Posts.' I'm not sure if this is because I'm not logged into sk.net on my phone or if it's a feature for phones. Either way, I'm wondering how the forum decides what thread titles are listed in the larger font and what thread titles are listed with smaller font.

Can we make inserted hyperlinks more distinguishable? I've always had a problem with this, and maybe I have trust issues when it comes to people noticing the links I sprinkle throughout my posts, but right now the links are literally showing up as black on dark gray. =)

It took some getting use to but now I LOVE the new layout. I can already tell the Volume listing tab is going to come in handy a lot too.

I am totally open to suggestions on that.

I don't think it's better than it was quite yet. But it will be  :daiba:

Walter, I've noticed this issue still popping up on some of the avatars.  Maybe a proportions issue for the images but its still happening for some peoples profile pictures.

Am I the only one experiencing bogged down load times? Other sites that I frequent are loading the same as usual, which causes me to single out this one. And I was hoping that it would pass before I said anything, but it's been happening to me for a few days now.

Using Chrome as a browser. Could that be an issue? I'm on the east coast. Could it be a server thing? I don't know much about these things. Or if it's even related to this thread for that matter.

No, I experience loading issues, as well, but I mainly notice them when I'm at work. At home, I mostly experience normal loading times.
