nice work on the graphic styles!

SUGGESTION: could you provide links to a database of grahpics (such as wallpapers, banners, etc). So that the Guild Websites can also revamp their own webpages in the similar FS styles?
Would be nice
:)

Moving in-game messages to the banner, instead of the ugly way they push down the active area of the World map, would have been easier and IMO a better use of their time. But that's just my opinion. ;)


Less than an hour, too.

What was broken on the older style???

The old theme matched the color palette of the game. Going from the game to this new stuff and back is jarring. You've lost whatever "branding" the "trade dress" of the old color scheme was giving you by making the forum look nothing like the game.


Posted Image :?

further...
On the dark skin, new posts colour is hard to notice...bottom 'previous-next' page not visible, quotation marks are way too big...
...will never use light one...it's an eye killer...too bright for my taste 8)

call me old fashioned but I don't like changes...

Any possibility we could have the option to have the previous dark style available as a 3rd option? Maybe call it "FS retro". ;)


any chance of getting this?

oh, wow, i like new style. I think HCS should try to keep game looking "new" or "fresh" to entice new players. i don't think this may be as needed in Gothador ("classic") or Cowplay (chess by email is "basic").

good going cows and nice updates also.
:D

A few more changes if possible:

1) All "Unread Posts" icons in read (difference between wihite and red is confusing and doesnt look so good). I like popluar topic in light red and not popular in white when you already read them, when still unread they should all be the same.

2) At the bottom of the page "Go to page" and "Next" are black on black background, so wecan see them

3) Icons of topic where a player posted his own comments are not easy to see (difference in the icon is too small)

4) Would be nice a completely different icon for topic where there is an "unread" comment from an HCS member (i bet sometimes is all we look for in long discussions)

5) In every single post the "Offline" write is red, is not a so important info and a strong colour hurts a bit, dark brown (with the current background) would probably be better

6) Player names and guild icons should be both clickable ("open in a new tab" if possible)

I hope the list is not too long.. other than that i like the forum changes :wink:

Howdy! I LOVE the new form styles. It's a nice, bright look. I like the "go to game" button at top and I really like the overall layout and look of it. Very attractive. My only small complaint is that there is not a "previous" and "next" button to click next to the page numbers at the bottom right of the page like there are at the top right of the page. Change this one small thing and it's perfect. :) Thanks!!!

They're there, you just can't see them because the text and the background are the same color (black). If you move your mouse to where you expect them to be, you can use them. Also if you select the text with your mouse (highlight), you can see them there. I mentioned this in my post on the first day it was out, but it's not been fixed yet. :(

Hey guys.

I'm currently using the FS dark style, and would like to point out a few changes (some apply to both styles, however).

1. Maybe its just me, but I find the topic icons confusing. When you hover over one icon, such as this one: Posted Image, it comes up as saying "Unread messages". However, when you hover over this icon: Posted Image, it says that "There are no unread messages for this topic. A few of these examples can be seen throughout the icons, making it very confusing overall. Please make them as clear as they were with the "FS retro" forum option. Thanks :)

Note: This applies to both the FS Lite and FS Dark styles.

2. As pointed out already, the "Previous" and "Next" text needs to be changed to a different color. Currently, it is the same color (black) as the background, and the same can be said for FS Lite. When highlighted, it is visible, but that's not the point now is it?

3. The red text in the OFFLINE text is very obnoxious, and furthermore it is hard to read. This is FS Dark exclusive, by the way. Please change it to a different color, such as blue or a darker red.

4. Possibly make the admin posts stand out a bit more? And I rather like the suggestion of having a separate icon for "There are unread Admin posts in this topic." Applies to both.

5. FS Lite: I still haven't been able to figure out why certain topics come up as blue, and others come up as black. Obviously it isn't for read vs. unread, as some of the unread topics are in black, and others are in blue (same for read). Either get rid of it or make it work :D

Thanks!

And so they are! So either change the background or change the color of the text in that section. But now I know they're there I will still use them.

Is it possible to get the level and guild they're in, if any, of the player who is posting next to their name again? Also the old style quick link to their profile would be much appreciated. It is nice knowing who exactly is posting. I can guess from the post itself but would be nice to know their perspective of the game; new/old player, high/low level, big/small guild, etc.

Thank you.

I was wondering what was up with this comment, since mine has had that... so I switched from FS Dark to FS Lite and see it's missing there. So while you're waiting for them to fix it in FS Lite, switch your prefs to FS Dark if you gotta see the level and guild.

So it is. It is a shortcomming of only the FS Lite version. What a shame. :(

Can we get the FS Lite style to have the same features(player's level and guild) as the Dark version please?
