So I finally got around to upgrading to the latest IPB release, which is OK thus far, but it still need's a bit more work, that will be done over the next week non stop til I'm content with how it looks, anyhow I figured I may as well get the ball rolling and throw the new work in progress theme up so I have more initiative to finish it.

What does everybody think?

also, if you find any bugs please take a screenshot and post it, also if you are using IE6, you Really need to upgrade NOW.

It seems a lot more simple, but I'll have to wait for it to grow on me...

I like everything but the font. And the column spacing on the forum list is a little weird at high resolutions. Maybe the text is too big in the 'last post info' and 'stats' columns, it just doesn't look quite right to me.

But that's just a stupid little thing, i like the new functionality (horray quick-message box!) and i think that it looks great.

P.S If you're gonna use Dr. House as Gordon Freeman, you need to photoshop some glasses on him

Which part of the text? When you're typing?

I like the general forum font and colors, just not the Times New Roman in the "Quick Reply" box -- f*ck it.

Yeah, will have to get used to it. Seems alright, except the round "New Post" buttons on the main page look way too big.

it's only going to improve with time, you have to keep in mind I coded this from scratch and there are bound to be fuckups, and things I will be changing as I see fit :evilgrin:

I like the way you can press that little icon next to someone's name and it pops up a little window with their profile information...
