WoM has released a new, easier on the eyes, site theme.

I am still working on fixing issues but please if you have any suggestions or notice any issues, leave a comment below.

Those that still prefer the original style, you will be able to change back soon.

Update: Changing theme is now available, edit your account settings (link now in side bar).
Note: Issues with old skin are low priority.

Update: Most site issues have been fixed.

Enjoy!

Thanks

The site looks quite messed up on your machine, I thought it might be due to you using internet explore, but when I test with IE8 everything looks fine.

What version of IE do you use?

Do you have issues on other sites?

Design > Forum post colors

Design

> No visible fast way to edit/view your user settings.

> Sidebar, at the bottom. I'm assuming the logout button shouldn't be there. :P

> Forum post colors need altering, the contrast between the text and it's respective background color are too similar. This includes things like the poster's name too.

> The tabs for the top menu aren't fully transparent in the rounded areas.

> The footer-bg element (outer container layer bottom) could be made smaller by shortening the image height, it looks like there's too much padding there currently.

> The top tab menu's text shadows don't look right, in my opinon. (compared to other shadowed text)

> Page footer should totally be center-aligned /nitpick /nitpick.

> Viewing a user's profile their ticket history list seems goes outside it's anticipiated boudries.

> Forum post box corners and the background do not join correctly.
And that's not H4X's fault, but firefox's :P

Technical

> You've given two things the same ID (edit_search_theme_form)

> The "Welcome! - WoM Members: xyz" span element hasn't been closed or has been closed using the wrong tag. (Opened with span, closed with div).

> The site link path near the top of the page doesn't work for most cases.

Example, going to the forum still shows "Home", and viewing this blog post shows as "Home > New Skin"

Edit:

Kudos for the new design though, I'm critical but I do appreciate the new layout (:

Also +awesome for not allowing my sig. to overflow/break boundries. I shall remove it post haste!

More to come, possibly. Hope this helps!

I prefer this look, I dunno

I prefer this look, I dunno about functionality though.
Old website had a whole bunch of redundant features, so I'm not bothered if you cut some options down.
I'll have to toy around this new layout for a bit to make up my opinion.
First impressions are good though, Thumbs up.

slow downs

That's due to the server cache being flushed so that new features will be seen immediately.

The site performance will slowly pick up as more data is cached.

Nice to see you added the grayer background to posts, but I think it looks pretty bad with the blue header/footer for posts. Make those a darker gray maybe?

New new skin

Grey post background is good, although the old skin seems to be inheriting some of the new settings. Old black skin has the new grey/blue post backgrounds, but still the old white text, making the old skin unreadable (without selecting text to highlight). But hey, more reason to use new skin.

Link color still doesn't stand out enough from the blue backgrounds. With the new grey content background, I'd suggest lightening the blue shade, perhaps in conjunction with changing the link color.
SMP's red subtitle WoM Mafia in #ff0000 doesn't work against the blue background either; bleeds really badly with itself, hard to focus to read it.

Otherwise, still looking great so far!

Ummm, on the OLD skin, the text is black...

The old skin needs a forum fix because the text doesn't change color in the posts and it's hard to read.
