Never knew we had that.

[Caprizant]

We did, but it was just a generic thing provided by Forumotion. I just added a few forum-specific questions today.

[Caprizant]

I've edited some forum descriptions a bit for clarity and word choice. Just wanted to let you guys know in case you want to voice your opinions on anything you think should be changed.

The edited forums include the Discussions, the Graveyard, the Stage, Let's Post Let's Plays, the Library, Mission Out-of-Control, the Game Room, and Customer Service. Suggestions for improvement don't have to be limited to those ones, though.

Alignment has been added as a field in the profile (just below Temperament).

So I've been working on a slightly different version of the forum skin since about 10PM. You can find a live preview of it here.

I've been trying to make the forum wider for awhile, but I gave up on it until I saw that you guys were doing stuff on the sandbox forum and decided to give it another crack.

Highlights:

• Much wider forum;
  
• 200x200 max avatar size;
  
• Slightly different header design;
  
• About 100% more borders and rounded corners;
  
• Some different buttons;
  
• Slightly different colors overall;
  
• Overhauled profile design;
  
• Easier to navigate private messages (I think--haven't been able to test it yet).
  

Other than that, it's got the same basic feel of the current skin. Just bigger. Also, please note that certain things aren't there right now (such as the chat box, favicon, correct time/date settings, profile fields, etc). And that description thing below the header will be gone.

If you guys like it, at some point in the very near future I'll spend some time converting the forum to that skin and making things happen. Let me know if you spot any issues.

Me Likey.

I like it too! :D

Kind of makes the background useless, and the top is a bit dull since it's just a white background now, but I do like the larger size.

[Caprizant]

I can spend some time making the forum a bit thinner (but still wide) to see the background better. The only worry I have is that with a small enough screen you won't be able to see the background at all.

Also, with the size the forum is, I thought that our current style of header would probably look a bit ridiculous. And this skin is a bit harder to adapt to that style than our current one.

[Truthseeker4449]

I think it could look a little out place as well, however we'll never know for sure until we try it out.

[Caprizant]

I'm still trying to figure out the header, but how does that look for the forum width?

[Truthseeker4449]

It looks okay to me.

[Caprizant]

I tried every way I could think of to change the header, but it doesn't seem to work. If we figure it out later we can change it over and see how it looks.

I'll wait until everyone who's been online recently has had a chance to see it and give their opinions on it before changing it over if everyone likes it. But first, I have to mow the lawn, so I'll be back later.

[Guest]

I'm into it. :P

[Burnin' Bunnies]

The width is fine with me, but that header...no can do. Everything else looks wonderful!
