    Huge improvement overall. The previous version was...well...it needed...uh...lets just never speak of it again.

    Thoughts...
    • Font size should be an option. It's a bit small for me, but might be good for others.
    • It's a bit bright for my taste, but not too bad. A selection of skin options would be awesome (I know, one step at a time).
    • Seems to be a lot of white space. It makes things look a bit cleaner, but it does seem a bit much.
    • OMG the dev tracker! Thank you! (Though I am seeing German threads mixed in with the English.)
    • I really like how the ZOS posts stand out now. Much better. I say keep the all green as well.

    Anxious to see how it behaves on Android. I'll let you know after my next bathroom break at the office. :D

    Why remove the LOL option? It brought so much joy and laughter to the forums! Other than that, it looks nice. Especially since other language forums aren't all cluttered together any more.

    Had to increase font size in browser to be able to read.
    I suppose it is ok if you like the plain Jane old fashioned flat look, which is kind of odd
    for a forum of a game with such awesome graphics.
    Just my opinion however.

    @ZOS_AlanG The new green text color and thin line font on beige background gives poor contrast for those of us with astigmatism. It would be nice if you used a darker text color on a lighter background and a bolder type font. :smile:

    Mod text beyond the name should not be green. The color and contrast are pretty terrible choices between the foreground and background. Starting to see a trend with UI.
    I disagree.
    I like mod text all in green. It make it more easily and quickly recognize/identify, especially when there is a long post. I don't have to try to look for the name. I just only need see the green text and I can quickly identify a need to pay attention.

    How did you miss the giant green indicator border next to the forum name? The giant green ESO logo? The Zenimax "Z" logo? I'd like to read and comprehend what they are posting instead of being annoyed at the terrible UI decision that was made.

    Mobile version is still pretty poor. I still cant post links automatically (need to write tags by hands). It's become better, but one little improvement is still missing.

    As another guy wrote: The color and contrast are pretty terrible choices between the foreground and background!
    That was even worse in the old forums. Please absolutely avoid these "brownish" color-variations for the text background. The contrast isn't good, and the readability and attractiveness suffer. Do you have anyone in your team who was taught about color-science on the readability of texts? Otherwise, please try to consult a scientist / an optician!
    I wrote that after the beta, a "light-brownish" background su...! :(

    Aw, now all of my 142 LOL's are gone.
    I really feel like it shouldn't have been removed, more of an actual "Dislike" button should have been added, as it would of shown the poster the majority of the time, whether someone dislikes their content or not.

    Overall I really like the changes to the forums, you did a great Job.

    The only thing that I have complaints about is Contrast, it's just too damn bright. I'd prefer the black background but whatever at least make the current colour darker. Also this Box where we write our comments is so damn bright it's gonna kill my eyes :smiley:

    About LOL removal I fully approve it..About Disagree button though, I'm not sure we really need it, some people would get depressed all the time :wink:

    Sorry.. yeah.. green admin text is terribad. Just make their names green, not their text.

    I also need sunglasses for the glare from the lighter background and smaller default font. Any chance of making the back grounds and readable text personalized?

    Having the admins txt green is difficult on my eyes. Black is perfect. The staffs icons were always green before and easy enough to spot. Having to read patch notes in green on my smart phone is gonna be rough...

    Please add a "top of page" button at the bottom, like criagslist, and other websites. Scrolling with my thumb all the way back to the top is annoying.

    All other changes I see are great : )

    Although I don't have problems with my eyes, I can barely read anything now.
    The fontsize is tiny like the ingredients list on a Twix bar (and for signatures I'd need a magnifying glass to recognize anything).
    Are there any settings for this? Since I don't want to change my browser settings just for this forum.

    It looks quite good, well done!

    Do we have any customisation options? I'd love to be able to have a background/theme for the forums that reflected our alliance.

    It's very Facebook-y. It says I have 2 notifications but when I click it, it says I have no notifications. Interesting.

    And I was so close to 500 LOLs...

    The new layout needs some getting used to and seems ok, but for signatures. I find them kinda irritating and interfering with the discussion, since they're multiple lines of the same or very similar font. So I'd like to see them more limited in size and in a different font and color.

    And I cannot seem to find 'participated'. Since it's just that and 'recent' I mainly used for my forum visits, 'participated' missing has a rather large impact on my experience. If it's still there, point me to it, if not, bring it back ASAP, please!

    @Nazon_Katts It is a sub-option to the "Account Options" gear icon in the top bar.

    I like the new layout, good job!

    Font size, contrast, select a main language for dev tracker could be customisable options, infact I would change font size and contrast like other ones.

    I have to agree that this new format is a little bright and maybe could use some sort of line between the avatar and a person's response to a thread.

    Also I feel the avatar box could be an inch or so shorter horizontally between the avvy and text box.

    The lack of the lol option for a comment is also sad, and I have to wonder if this is oversight or carebaring because it wasn't exactly a something is funny button.

    Seems to be some improvements though, beside these few detractors.

    Thank you! Would have really missed that one!

    But apparently mentioning does not work and does not create a notification.
