I <3 new WoW skinFollow

One request though, can you shrink the distance between posts? The space between each reply is a nice touch, and helps distinguish individual posts, but it's a bit large. Cutting it in half would maintain the individuality of each post, but would flow better too IMO.

This is so Pretty!!!

I thought something was broken at first... it'll take some getting used to .

I think a darker brown would alleviate a lot of people's complaints about the color mismatch. Or if you wanted to get really crazy with the color pallettes, seeing as there is a heavy emphasis on the yellows, oranges and reds, you might try something in the bluegreen, blue, and blueviolet area.

The stateful collapse windows are something we're working on rolling out elsewhere, yes.

I love it when you talk nerdy, Dana.

For a long time I have been under the assumption that your coding staff was colour blind. Proof? Look at the EQII skin or the original LOTRO 'blue on blue' text/background.

The change to the WoW skin is a step in the right direction. The brown background still needs to go though. As well I realize the admins were going for the 'epic' feel with purple, but it really doesnt match up, perhaps because of the brown background, perhaps it is just a poor colour choice on its own.

Actually, some of them are. Although lotr was done by a graphic artist.



You should never see the purple on the orange/brown background, only on the dark greys.

I'll play with the background, but the goal here wasn't to do a complete re-design; it was to make what we have work better and be easier to read.

/me raises hand

Dana did not design EQII or Lotro, but he has been helping make Lotro a better place to be. I still hate it, yes Magi, I do.

Lemme know of any examples of this. I use the site alot and generally try to balance clicks vs presentation.

I am happy to see the response, although I'm confused at the lack of feedback on the Search upgrades. It can't possibly be good enough that noone has anything to say. Does no one use it?

I've never used the menubar search function, is it any different than the firefox plugin? Either way, I haven't noticed a difference yet, because I haven't played WoW since before the layout change.

EDIT: holy crap, the plugin returns a ton more hits for less information, awesome job!

Here's another request that might make some people a little upset. If You changed the admin name color to purple because they're "Epic" then why not change the rest of them? Guru = blue, Sage = Green, Scholar = White, User = Grey. I imagine that the white and grey would be a little strange, and it would take getting used to. Just a thought.
