    Thanks for the revamp! It's an improvement although there's still a few things that I think need fixing.

    The biggest one for me is when I click a forum like PSO2 General, I want to see what the current theads are. However, I see this:

    Spoiler!


    Or from the top down,

    1. Account-related navigation
    2. PSOW Logo
    3. Forum-related navigation
    4. Forum breadcrumbs
    5. Post New Thread
    6. Forum Header
    7. More forum navigation
    8. Sub-Forum
    9. 8 Stickys


    So the threads I actually want to see are nowhere in sight! On a notebook or tablet this would probably be worse.

    Some other minor stuff: consider using Google Fonts for certain elements like headers instead of Arial for everything. Also the Facebook button at the bottom seems to be broken.

    Regarding the white space, I'm agree there's a lot of white space on the left and right at 1920x1080 but I'd rather have the text wrap so that the eye doesn't have to travel across a wide screen to read everything. Maybe consider adding widgets based on detected window size to fill the space.

    Default Request: Green site theme

    Can the green version of Blue-Steel site theme be added back?

    I agree that the PSO2 General Sticky List was becoming a bit excessive. We've removed a few of them so you can view the latest threads faster. Did that help out?

    The facebook page isn't live yet.

    In regards to widgets, would you like for them to appear outside the main content body on the sides of the page?

    By any chance is a PSO2 Database coming with this? Cirnopedia has been dead for ages, so if we could get a community-maintained database, that would be great. Could also ask Ricardo (owner of psublog) to list some of his guides here.

    Ooooo, this place is nice. Loving the dark, edgy colors! The dropdowns for the old database is also a nice feature.

    I wasn't alone? I remember getting asked to switch to something else because no one else used Cherry Coke. I may ask to take a look at how the current themes look, and see if I can get a Cherry Coke style done at some point.

    Count me as another vote for the stretch Cosmic, I'll switch to that once available (using Darkness as a temporary).

    Maybe we'll set up a poll here after everyone has had a chance to settle in with the new site. I can see a fluid version of Cosmic happening if there is demand for it. Each style that gets added to the site means more work every time something is changed, which has always been sort of a bottleneck with all of the styles we've had available in the past. I'm a bigger fan of quality over quantity, so hopefully we can have a good selection, but also continue to improve the existing styles based on visitor feedback. In the long run, though, I'm sure users would rather have us working on new features and content over creating endless themes

    There's one new feature we have that hasn't been unveiled yet, and I think it's going to be a really nice addition to the site once it's ready to launch.

    Yea it's better now

    As for widgets, I think anything goes as long as the information is there and looks consistent with the rest of the theme. I wouldn't make it a priority though - if you can do it with a couple button presses then sure. If not, things are functional as-is.

    I might be the only one, but I'm find it a bit harder to read in the new style formats.

    Taking some time to adjust to the changes will probably help a little, though I also find the themes a bit 'busy' visually. Even the updated classic themes are missing the simplicity that the originals used. I'm the kind of girl who values pleasing aesthetics, and tend to lean heavily towards flat design. The classic themes had a clean and minimal approach, and I think if they were to be updated for a more modern style, looking at UI languages like Metro or Material for inspiration would make for some beautiful takes on Bluegray and Blue-Steel.

    I doubt the staff have the energy left to think about such a huge project so soon after the new board rollout, but I hope it can be looked into. Swiki is a great place for information if you can manage to navigate it! Yet, the language barrier means not everyone will be able to take advantage of all the info it has. A community-maintained English database would be of help to a lot of players. There's just... almost 4 years of content to catalog, so I can understand why it might not happen.
