Very nice upgrade, but if possible I'd like the option to choose from alternative themes as well, such as the old red-yellow-black one.

I wanted to switch back immediately. Something about this layout is not right.

The style is very awesome

(there's a lot more white though than last time which will take a little bit of getting used to

)

CaptCity · July 04, 2011, 05:17:46 PM

Well, welcome back... The new look looks promising. Can't wait to see it when all is done.

jacksunny · July 04, 2011, 05:57:41 PM

Very nice!!!

Jack_wilds · July 04, 2011, 06:44:53 PM

I made it! finally able to log-on. AFTER a frustrating argument

with the log-in; it seems that my correct password wasn't correct

... someone ought to smack that gorilla around a little -he's slipping...

any-hoo, found it a new and refreshing UI, a bit bright from the norm but I'm flexible...

so I'll reserve final 'judgement' for when its complete...

welcome back guys... and many thanks for the hard work in time and thought to put this all together

Jack

Hello Jeroni and admins

I like the new look. It is bright and cheery. Spell check popped up super fast and the 'suspect' spelling errors highlighted in yellow which made checking a quick and easy task.

I'll have to check out the 'flash' tool. Wish me luck

Thank you very much.

Great to see the site back up!

Small note: The news bar on the main forum page's height bounces up and down, moving all of the elements under it up and down. The news text probably needs to be stuck in its own div with a static height to stop it bouncing.

I'll stick this in the bugs thread in case you guys don't see it in here.

Hi Jeroni (and other admins) thankyou for all of your hard work!

I like the new look of the forums - very fresh

The LEX appears to be missing summary pictures and any download stats and comments since about 28/6 (including two recently uploaded files - a map and the japanese river patch) that I noticed are also missing.

Hope this can be fixed

Congratulations for the new layout! Very clear and well-aranged! Nice fresh layout! Thanks for the hard work you're putting into this site every day!

Looking Good .. Thank you everyone for all your hard work getting the site up and running again

Still can't get onto the site using Firefox or Explorer, but it seems Opera will get me here

By Firefox it's O.K., at least in me

Very good job guys

Hello again and thanks for the nice feedback ¡¡

I am working to fix all the reported issues, specially the LEX ones (we are on the way to solve it ¡¡), but I am glad to see that there are not so many errors reported, and that most of you do like the new theme. Unfortunately the old one is not compatible with the new forums version, and there are now other priorities, but I'll try to update that old theme and make it available once the rest is in place and fixed

Ol.S / Benoit · July 06, 2011, 09:45:19 AM

Nice work with this new forum Jeronij.

It seems that the LEX works quite well now ?

Concerning the forums, some browsing tools are missing, like the "Previous page, next page, last page" on the top no ?

Anyway thats a detail thanks for the hard work

z · July 06, 2011, 10:29:36 AM

I'm glad to see the return to the original Simple Machines format. The other format was smaller and darker to the point where I found it difficult to read.

Ramona Brie · July 06, 2011, 04:26:01 PM

Anyone else seeing phantom posts that don't increase the post size below some posts? They say "Sim City 4 Devotion Forums" on them.

z · July 06, 2011, 04:39:25 PM

Yes, that would appear to be a feature; it just duplicates the title line of the last post at the end of the page.

Kitsune · July 06, 2011, 05:29:22 PM

I've seen to have a post go POOF ... it was made about 5 hours before the forums went down again last night.

jgehrts · July 06, 2011, 05:40:49 PM

Is there a way to go to the last unread post, or is that feature gone? The only thing I can see is a button that goes to the most recent post, not the most recently read.

Looks like there are "NEW" buttons for last unread post - might have been user error on my part. I think I forgot to log back in.

BTW, getting used to the new look. It's a simple design, I generally am a fan. A bit too much white space IMO but overall I haven't run into real problems.
