A change is as good as a rest... from stareing at the screen too long.

Thank's for keeping the forum, and the site maintained and updated.

Cheers.

At first glance it looks very smart, but then I noticed the icons on the left hand side and the "go to last post" buttons. I know these things take a lot of hard work to produce but I don't like them. I DO like the black though - that looks very nice.

I noticed it straight away because of the blue sides. And then the "quote" and "reply" buttons and it gets a positive review from me . The only worry i have so far is that it feels slightly clumpy, that could because of the 3d and shadow effects on certain icons. I have only been using it a few mins anyways, but yeah i think it looks good . The icons down the left of topics seem to be much easier to see which topics are hot or have new posts

Yes, there is a horizontal scroll on 800x600 resolution (or lower) however the analytics show that only a small (<8%) of the page displays in December were on an 800x600 screen. Of course you can always set your link to tentenths.com/forum instead of tentenths.com and then select "Solid" from the skin choices and it shouldn't revert to the new layout.

Only if you use tentenths.com/forum as a link. Any visit to just tentenths.com will reset the My CP setting to the new design.

Welcome to the mid-90's....I'm really not fond of this new look.

Interesting? yes
Different? yes
Ugly? yes

Each to their own I guess...

But it doesn't affect the content, and thats why I visit.

Well i like it, the icons on the left showing if you've got new posts etc are much clearer. The colours seem a little "unbalanced" between the buttons and the rest of the forum ( dark vs light) but i've seen far, far worse!

The only problem I have with it is I have to get used to it! I'm staring at the little bubbles beside each topic and thinking: "What the heck does that mean?"

I'm not quite sure what that figure represents. I use 800 x 600 because I don't like viewing web pages with everything squashed into the middle & a big border on either side, a situation which applies to the majority of the sites I'm regularly using - I'm happy to scroll horizontally if required, but if the option of 800 horizontal resolution is there, I want to use it.

As for the new design.......if it weren't for the width thing, I'd have no problems using it, but it does look a bit 'Fisher Price'!

(of course, you rich folks with the big screens won't see what all the fuss is about - it's only us paupers with 17" monitors who have problems! )

800X600 is annoying and makes everything take up far too much space...

I've decided, after a few days of use, that skins a-okay, you have my approval!
Lucky you, eh?

Was bit of a shock, but, that's gone now, and the forum markers are much clearer.

Lots of colour and movement!!

The design and colours are very nice ....but

the CONTENT to WHITE RATIO is appallingly inefficient....I hate scrolling/page downing at the best of times

Vertically the only thing that's changed is the banner is a little larger and the top navigation is slightly more spaced, within the actual post nothing was changed except the button graphics, so not sure where you think the content/white ratio has changed.

In a very unscientific test, with adverts switched on, looking at page 2 of this thread took 52 clicks of my wheel mouse to scroll through using the old design and 54 clicks using the new design. With adverts OFF it's 48 for old and 49 for new.

I remember when 800x600 was considered high resolution and web designer were advised to design for 640x480!!!! 85% of page displays in December were on 1024x768.

I am using 1024*768 and I find I have to scroll. I can just about get rid of the scroll bar if I have the window almost the same width as the screen but i don't like it like that. I thought the internals were supposed to resize to fit the window? It always used to.

I don't mind the colour scheme but I object to the fact that I can't make my window the size I want.

There is an element somewhere in the new design that prevents the screen collapsing to narrower than about 930px.

If anyone wants to shrink the window smaller than that then change the style to 10Tenths - Solid from the drop-down menu at the bottom left of any screen, this will go as low as about 780px across before it displays a scroll bar.
