baph Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 more updates to fasthack: - brand new posted/read/unread icons (no more stars). - bright green stuff has been replaced by various shades of blue. - top bar is dark blue not black. - username hover-popups look a little nicer (picture is aligned properly, etc) - forum/topic lists are more readable thanks to alternating column colors (like old-style watmm) and other improvements. - mods and admins will no longer see a useless "QUEUED" tag in front of every forum name (yay!) as usual, clear your cache or you won't see anything. quite good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Franklin Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 dammit guys... i've been cool through all the previous changes but this one is really getting to me. it's too bright and light-coloured and blurry and like hospital recovery-room soft. I hate it and it's annoying and it actually is very difficult for me to use at night causing me to avoid logging on to not strain my eyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Franklin Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 it may be that I'm just old. but also, i dont think you should have to adapt to a website... should be the other way around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chaosmachine Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 update: i just made fasthack-fluid the new default skin, that should stem the complaints from those who can't be bothered to read ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karmakramer Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 f.lux is also a good idea in general regardless of which website you are using. I find the upgrade to be an improvement, but the grey/blue for the user bar is a bit sterile and something more boc might brighten things up a little bit but maybe not a good idea, id be interesting to see a few top color varieties screen capped, maybe we will universally agree on one! lol...

karmakramer Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 though I just realized that f.lux is on and the tint from that distorts reality so nvm edit: just disabled f.lux for a second and it actually makes it more boc! bring on the color variants!

YEK Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 it probably isn't just me but i find it hard to save pictures. i click and they get big, right click but most of the time i don't get the option to save, sometimes i do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest AcrossCanyons Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 i can't wait for the next layout change when everybody loses their shit over how much better this one was. i think this layout is much better than the last one now we have the changes. well done team!

murve33 Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 oh snap, we used to have flash games here. whatever happened to that? tetris all the way, double tetris, all the way across the internet! Holy crap, I forgot about this. I thought that was an interesting feature. Maybe it cost too much /month though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terpentintollwut Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 The forum was just ~600 px wide for me, with a big empty border around it, I thought it was another design change but it seems it was a glitch of sorts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaosmachine Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 yeah, there's a bug that just showed up out of nowhere, seemingly in the last hour. whatever theme is set as default ends up becoming unselectable, and reverts to the default ipb look. i don't know why, and resetting everything didn't fix it. so, set your theme manually for now, the default is back to "ip.board"...

goDel Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 To all the people disliking the contrasting colors (green, red): please set your monitor to monochrome colors. Chaos, please bring back the green and keep the red accents. I've got a couple of very good reasons: 1. to annoy ahathahahbooo 2. to save our souls from the monotone blue-middle of the road boringness 3. to match with ahahahahat's greenish avatar (for crying out loud!)

Guest boo Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 yea i didn't mind those little touches of colour. if everything was grey thtt would be fine though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest hahathhat Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 3. to match with ahahahahat's greenish avatar (for crying out loud!) i was wondering when someone would get on my case about that. watmm does not disappoint!! the answer is that green is actually one of my favorite colors, but i found the way it was used to be distracting. it looks like an alert, and grabs my eye. the avatars, on the other hand, are all sorts of crazy colors anyways, and i'm able to tune them out. i don't like the red chatmm thing either, for the same reasons, but it's not nearly as bad as the green was.

spratters Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 I'm sure this has been mentioned already and I don't like to moan because I am getting with the layout and have no problems. The only thing is not being able to single-click from, say GenBan to Music Discussion. Not a biggie but it would be nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
