No that's new. They've shortened the current forum window for it.

Could maybe the welcome message be put into a much wider box just below where it currently is? Or the breadcrumbs?

Hey now. Breadcrumb is a style of webpage navigation. A bread crumb is a fantastic thing for making a delicious crust on food or stuffing in turkey. |

I really hope that happens, I think you'll find that encouraging people to join the community is a big draw for getting them to sign up for more.|

That said, we still need the ability to ride them like ponies.
Not to mention breadcrumbs were the primary form of pre-GPS navigation.

And Zwill... Based on the replies I've seen so far... these forums look exactly the same!

I'm glad it wasn't the fix my neighbors dog got when they last took him to the vet.
If the game spit out 20 dollar bills people would complain that they weren't sequentially numbered. If they were sequentially numbered people would complain that they weren't random enough.

I recently installed a new script at home that deals with font colors and sizes on my home computer. Guess I'll need to look at the forums there to find out how they look. May have to adjust that script or remove it.

That's annoying me a fair bit. I don't care about a message telling me I'm a subscriber and I get to post on the forums - I already know that what with having parted with money and being able to post. So having that pointless message cramp up the part that's actually functional and useful, it's an irritation.|

Not a big mclargehuge irritation, but enough to make me post this

God bless you Andy. I'm almost in tears (really that's only a slight exaggeration). You guys do listen. That was one of the major things I thought was too limiting. It makes me hopeful that something might also be done about the disabled IO's, and then I'll be forced to worship you forever.|

I'm curious to see what will be implemented.

Does seem kind of redundant but I suspect it's something that we don't have a choice about. In order to have it display for the restricted accounts, it probably has to be 'turned on' for all accounts, just with a different message for each.|

If that's the case, then perhaps a happy middle ground can be reached by making the ViP message something like just a .

The script has no effect on the names, only on the posts and signatures. So all is well from my POV.

Forum name color seems, at least to me, back to white.
pohsyb: so of all people you must be most excited about the veats
Arachnos Commander: actually, I am
pohsyb: I mean you kinda were one already anyways ^_^
Arachnos Commander:
Awwwwww...I was just getting used to the golden names. Ah well...the big Welcome Lyrik message also annoys me quite a bit. If that somehow could be made smaller (maybe by having the part after the dot (Please remember...) directly under the Welcome the forum navigation gets some more space. Or delete the obvious: As a VIP Subscriber... bit if they necessarily have to have the link to the forum rules.

I actually do find it rather annoying and I almost started a thread on it. Colored names is one thing, but if you are going to work on the forum, fix the freaking log out bug first.

The problem isn't the message as much as the division of that panel. Make the leftmost (breadcrumb) panel a little bigger and it will all take less space.

I'd rather they just moved the posting privileges bit down onto a line of it's own underneath the other two and let the breadcrumbs take up the majority of the top line like they used to.
