Things You Like: It's nice and shiney a perdy!
Things You Don't Like: A bit too bright I can't really see things that well Though it could be because I've hadf 2 hourrs of sleep in 2 days -__-
Rating (Out Of 10): 8/10 'Cus of the brightness

[iDesign]

You get used to the brightness after a while of using the skin, don't worry too much.

[Masamune]

Cool

[TomBeasley]

You can see things more easily after a while.

[iDesign]

By the way guys. I know about the issue with polls looking stupid. I'll work out a fix for that.

Things You Like: New forum! Woo. Nice skin, too.

Thanks for the feedback guys.

Guys - I've just darkened down the text links for you, but the buttons will have to stay the same for now. Would you like the buttons all to be darker?

[TomBeasley]

I think they would benefit from being darkened very slightly, yes.

Things You Like: The fact that it's up and running again, some the banner text (but not the colours, see below).

Things You Don't Like: The skin, & the lack of choices for skins. I actually preferred the older one, it was easier to see stuff, this new skin is just far too bright, the colours are too close together to be easily distinguishable, & as other people have said, the lack of new members/topics, but TBH I think that will hopefully change as the forum picks up again.

Rating (Out Of 10): 5/10 broken down as follows: 3/10 for the skin, but 10/10 for effort

[iDesign]

^^ I'm sorry you don't like it then, I guess.

If you actually can't distinguish the colours from each other, that's an issue with your contrast settings I expect. Problem with templates like these is that they take time to make, and are obviously difficult to integrate with another skin because of the coding behind it. I'm working on something for people who can't read text on this skin though, so expect an update soonish.

One other point is that telling us activity isn't very good won't change anything... We released a new version to try and fix that, and the only way it can be fixed is if all of you guys get posting.

As I said though, update on the skin coming soon.

Things You Like: The fact that ABC is back up and running, helping people again good to see.
Things You Don't Like: The buttons are quite blurry, i dont like the those, and I think its a bit harsh on the eyes, maybe a different colour scheme? would be nice to see a few more users aswell.
Rating (Out Of 10): 8/10 just a few tweaks and it will be 10/10

Things You Like: Nice skin , plenty of members
Things You Don't Like: Nobody's on
Rating (Out Of 10): 7.5/10 - 9 if more members were active.

[TomBeasley]

Thanks for the feedback everyone! ;D

A lot of you are commenting on the lack of members. In order to help us fix this, it would be much appreciated if you guys could help by telling your friends and advertising wherever possible. The template for advertising ABC can be found here.

Things You Like: Very good idea for the forum.
Things You Don't Like: Too bright!
Rating (Out Of 10): 7/10

Is there a newbie introduction thread anywhere?

[Eilidh]

Things You Like:I do like the skin, it's very shiny and whatnot. ^_^
Things You Don't Like:Linkey text requires a lot of staring at before I can read it. I was convinced the banner was broken until I stared at it long enough.
Rating (Out Of 10):9/10. Because the not being able to read thing is my fault. xD

Thanks for your comments both of you. At some point in the near future, we will darken many aspects of the skin in response to concerns over readability.
