Site upgrade!

[Hahninator]

Wow. After all of you busting his balls to get it done' date=' you see what it could look like & you hate it and say how it could be so much better. Very appreciative...[/quote']

 

Yeah I do appreciate what he did, I'm sure it took a lot of work. Thanks for doing it.

 

I'm just not in favor of the rapid, sudden changes in color/layout >_>

[LPShinodaFM]

I don't think the change of color is that abrupt. There's just the extra yellow component. It still keeps the dark background. I think the new layout is fine. I think it makes the forum seem a lot more lively.

 

Also, it sort of makes me think that it signifies the change in LP's style from being nu-metal (which makes me think blue) into something else.... while keeping the same recognizable LP sound.

Now that i looked around on that link some more, i kinda like it. Its just the yellow i'll have to get used to, but other than that, i like it more now

You think that one is sudden?

how about the transformation from the original LPF to this one.

That yellow looks a lot better than that brown in my opinion

I really like how that one is, it's a lot nicer than this one

[GraDoN]

lol rather funny how vash is posting again i wonder why ><

i like the new layout...

the black now looks awesome but i really think the new layout looks ok..

what i do think is that he should take it as it is now and ask us what we would like to change (small things)

thats just my opinion...

like it anyway

We are entitled to our opinions. Just because we have opinions, doesnt mean we dont appreciate the work he has done.

 

I still think the community input into the layout would be much better.

[shadowfax1007]

My honest opinion:

 

Pros:

 

New features

Upgraded version of vbuliten.

 

Cons:

 

Colour is dull. Yellow, Black and White isnt that great.

The colour scheme hurts the eyes.

The animated buttons/images get kinda annoying.

Quotes in signatures stretch the width of the page, unlike before when it was the width of the text quoted.

This is my honest opinion. It doesnt mean i dont appreciate the work, so dont anyone dare flame me for what ive said.

I appreciate the new upgrade, but I defiently think LPF needs more community input.

There are alot of members with alot of good ideas and some with a good amount of talent, which could be put to use on these forums.

[GraDoN]

ok ill do the same

Cool:

new chat

the way posts look now

 

not bad:

colour aint that bad

 

bad:

dont like the animated stuff

Does the "www.linkinparkforums" have to be on the banner? cause once ur here you should know its lpf >< and thought small arrow logos dont look good either (on the banner)

would like to have a "home page" botton like last layout

 

yup yup thats what i think

*edit.. just saw hoe awesome the gallary section is... awesome!!

[crazy robster]

Hey guys, so the new layout is cool I like it! It's a nice change...still, there are a few things that don't seem to work. First of all, when you go to new posts and click on the little arrow to go to the latest post, for some threads you get the message "no thread specified, if you followed a valid link please contact the administrator" Also, I would like to be able to see the list with all the members that logged on one day though that's not such a big deal. Finally the clock is still wrong and I still don't get e-mail notifications for the threads I'm subscribed to though I've selected the relevant option. I know you're still working on it but I just felt I needed to point out a few things to make your work easier.

[Hahninator]

hate the animation, hate the colors, EWW

[Ravynlee]

Personally I like the change - but I havent really had a chance to explore everything just yet. Still, diggin' the new look. Long overdue I think. Thanks to all involved

[GraDoN]

the gallary section is awesome!

chat is AWESOME!

had to say it again ><

well done core

[Jeezy]

The only thing I don't like is that the posts and everything are

so wide now...and I noticed that you can't access the threads if you click on the symbol for "View Last Post"...so you always have to scroll through the whole thread.....but besides that everything is cool...

you've taken the words right outta my mouth. thats what i think too

[crazy robster]

I noticed that about last posts too Jeez but I also noticed that this happens with threads that their last post was before the site change. Try clicking on any of the last posts that were posted in the last hour for example and you'll see it works fine.

yeah...you are right with that...so I guess....it's alright now...:thumbsup:

 

edit: I also like that user ID thing....is it also new...or have I just not noticed it before?....

 

I'm user 4951..that's pretty cool

[Victim]

Not to sound like a kiss up or whatever, I like it.. I am happy to see a new change. It may be a little rough around the edges, but once you explore around the new stuff, and get used to the whole shock of the new colors, its fine.. Maybe alittle glitch here and there, but that is expected when you upgrade and update a site.. So, nice job Coredump!

[Friðbjörn]

there are some nice new features, me likes

some people said the colors hurt their eyes...well they don't hurt mine

I did like the old black one, but I do like this one as well, feels like a fresh new lpf

 

of course it has its flaws...but what doesn't...

[MrsBennington-Delson]

the more im on the more i kinda like it... but vash was postin the 1st version ever... and honestly i like it more than the current... but its not my choice so i have to take it like that....

[Scotty B]

its ok but i onyl just got used to the last one now a new layout EEK! but i guess it will grow on me

[Hyper]

I don't like it. Not to be an ass or anything, but it seems like the current design is a step back from where we were. When I look at forums, the first thing that you notice is the layout. Now, I may be guilty of judging a book by it's cover, but most sites that have.. such vibrantly contrasting color schemes such as baby blue, goldish tan, and grey and black, aren't to be taken seriously. Usually the people behind the site are little 12 year old kids who like obnoxious looking things and UsuaLLy Typ LyK Dizz1!!

 

Now, I know this forum is established and the people behind it are not said 12 year olds, but that's the impression I get from all other sites with schemes like this. I do like to see myself as a kind of, aesthetic architect, if you will, and I'd like to share a couple.. suggestions I have to improve the layout [ in my opinion anyways ]

 

Stick with v3's general scheme. The looks of v3 were absolutely gorgeous. The only thing I really would have changed would have been the dull pastel blue, and the banner. Otherwise it was great. I would suggest to change that pastel blue to a nice green. Like the Elite color, it just.. flows well.

 

Ditch the animated buttons/avoid that font! The buttons are insanely large, and my resolution is at 1280x1024. The site shouldn't take up most of the screen like it does. Bigger may be better in most cases, but this isn't one of them. And that font, yes, it's a LP font, and yes LP uses it, but the thing just reminds me of another 12 year old trying to impress his buddies. Sexy and sleek is what we need, not bold and jittery.

 

I know you may not agree with me, and I know some people have but some hard work into this. I'm not trying to dog them or anything, I'm just saying that I don't think the outcome of their work is.. what everyone wanted. Everyone called for change, but this seems to be change in the wrong direction. I'm not alone when I express my dislike for it.

 

If whoever is in charge of this wants some expansion or even help with my ideas, I'd be glad to help. As some of you know I am quite well versed in the knowledge of Photoshop, and I'd be glad to lend a helping hand.

[Black_Angel]

I agree about the buttons, they're confusing.

I'm prepared to give this layout a chance to see if it grows on me, but right now I'm not too keen on it to be honest :]

[Hyper]

Oh don't worry, I'm prepared to give it a chance too. Not because I want to, but because if I don't like it, I have no real leverage on getting it changed lol.

[Person]

x.x it took me a while to find the reply button...

 

anyways, I agree with Hyper all the way. It seems like a step back (even though I'm no one to say anything as I've only been here for about 3 weeks), and in my opinion, I just don't like it. The whole green instead of blue would've been a great idea.

 

Sorry but I HATE IT =/

hehe we must make a petition thingy >.>

[Victim]

See, I don't mind you putting you sugguestions thats fine.. But when you completly bash it, thats a whole diffrent level.. You may hate it, but don't say that.. Think of something else please.. Like," Its good to see a change, but I would rather this, instead of this" Instead of being NEGATIVE write something you would LIKE to see and not, simply" IT SUXXORZ! BRING THE OLD ONE BACK!"
