Thank god someone noticed it!

I'll be updating it with frontpage news each day. So you regular lazy assholes don't have to visit the frontpage. We'll see if we can get links working in there as well. evil I suspect these smilies will last a total of 1 day before I get really fucking angry at them.

As you may have noticed there's a little arrow button (shown in picture) near the top bar. Pushing it will make the header disappear. Your cookie remembers this. Everything under it will still update, but it provides a much cleaner look while browsing.

I will, however, be updating news - so you may want to check it a couple times a day. Also, the easiest way to access private messages is up in that area.

We've still got more stuff to fix, but at the moment, about 90% of the stuff is "working as intended."

Are there any features you all would like to see included?

How about a small section on the front page with notable offerings from the forums? TWoP does it, and I think it helps guide new people to the forums and gives them an idea of what they are in for. Think of it as a sig quote on steroids.

The fonts, they are the biggest problem. You should increase the size and use the bold tag in the thread listing. As per old layout.

I prefer the old text font as well. And could you also get rid of the link underlining?

The smileys look like they've been anti-aliased against a different color background so they have fringe around them which make them look "hairy". You may want to redo the anti-aliasing or get rid of it entirely given you have two different text background colors (4 if you count the quoting) so it'll never look quite right.

Also, the phpBB list code didn't translate properly into the new form as you can see here:

http://forums.f13.net/index.php?topic=2010.70#msg55021

or maybe I made my lists in a non-standard fashion in which case I can edit my posts manually.

And I'll add my usual request here which is to copy the drop down forum navigator menu to top of the page as well.

Oh yeah, things look much better with links in bold and the underline removed. This is much closer to the old forum. Yes, I think I may even get used to this.

Would it be possible to put "f13" back in as the prefix to the forum names in the page titles? E.g. right now I see "World of Warcraft" as the page title instead of something like "f13 - World of Warcraft" and it's confusing me since I have other pages open with similar titles.

I agree it would be nice if the avatar selection could handle remote URLs like the old one did.

I'd also like avatar size increased to 120x180.
