New look kinda for the site

Post by Cole »

Hey guys/gals

have a quick look at this new setup (it's a combo between old school PADnD and current PADnD). If you like it say so, if not, say so. I'm going to do a forum template to match if everyone enjoys the look.

Critiquing is fine...

It's streamlined to open fast and work properly. ;) Also to look nice on a cell phone :)

Kind of dark and grim, isn't it?
I mean, don't get me wrong, I like dark and grim, but does everyone?

And is it intentional that there is no crawl for the PBMB boards?

Well I was thinking on a vote based poll from years ago. We pitted the original style again about 10 other styles and the original always wins. If you remember it, it was VERY dark, almost gothic. Same Dragon and text in the header.

So my thoughts are that people don't like the current theme much and generally prefer the old one. I'm trying to find a happy medium with the dark look of old, with easy to read text and text backgrounds.

and yes, the gaming forum scroll was removed on purpose, because I can't seem to make it stop on mouse over if both are running at the same time. If I figure out how, I'll add em both back :)

I also added a right side of blocks to the theme, like before, however it will showcase a new style poll and various other goodies for users :)

I dig it. It's striking and draws me in. The dark and sinister pad&d. :P
