New style testing - theme 3.0 & theme 2.0

until you get used to it

Tough, that's 100% font size for a browser, and it's only a hint... actual font-size is determined by the browser itself. Adjust the font-size in your browser options.

And make every other website unreadably small?

Chrome does not have an option to change font size anyway

Yikes. Me no likey.

To be clear: it's only the post and reply text that is too big, not the entire design. It's the same size as the heading text which isn't great. There's no semantic element that tells you it's the post text. It's just unstyled anonymous text just sitting in a div. Semantically paragraphs should be in

tags but I don't know if the forum software can do that.

Zoom is not the same as changing the text size. It zooms the entire page, hence the name.

Odd, I can add rep in the new version, but have never been able to in the old version. I often wondered why but never worried about it too much. Why is this Site Boss?

I've no idea.

i've been changing so much for so long that I barely know what's going on ;)

If it looks better on phones then ok. Otherwise I can't see a single way in which it is better. The front page looks dead; in fact it doesn't look like the front page of a website but a contents list in a book. The separation of the posts is terrible; that thin black line hardly works and the line about adding reputation gets in the way. But in truth we will all get used to it after a few days. What matters for me is the front page; that's how I use the forum, looking across to see if a new post has popped up in a thread I am following, rather than having to go to each section to check or use the new posts facility.

Urg, how do I get out of here and back to the old one?

God, that's better. Like taking your sunglasses off after you have come back indoors

Yeh, thanks, I am back on the old one now.
So much easier to keep track of what is being posted when you can use the front page. You also don't get that thing where people do not realise what forum a post is in.

I'm sorry, but I really don't like the new layout / colour scheme :(
It's a lot harder to see what's going on, what's new/old etc...

Will there be an option to retain the original style ?

Vb. Looks awesome on my nexus one. Really easy to read. But not so much on the laptop... you can't win....

I much prefer Today's Posts over New Posts, not sure why but it's what I'm happier with.
Otherwise not fussed. Looks good in Safari.

Just make it go away. Change is bad.

You can currently choose whether your mobile uses the full site or the mobile version, could you do the same for styles?
I'm liking the new one on my phone, but prefer to stick with the old one on the computer...

Yeah, I'm the same, hence my question to V earlier in the thread. Seems 'New posts' is more popular.

Same thing here. I've had some nice rep coments and feel mean being unable to return it. Don't see the green / red / blue buttons as described in FAQ

Off topic I know, but, is there any chance of a dark themed version of the original theme. The whiteness burns my eyes sometimes.

At last, inverting colours has a purpose in my life! Cheers!

can we stick to the old style please

new one induces a headache

Oh my god that was horrible, thought I'd be stuck in that dark room forever. Couldn't find this thread to link back to old style. Please don't make it happen again, I implore you!

I'm going to be the first to say, I think, that I really like what you are trying to get to here. Just a guess but do you use Emacs? I've always used dark themes in that and this reminds me slightly of a very nice theme called nightcoding nightcoder, something like that, or maybe it was a fluxbox theme.

For me, the Post Quick Reply and Go Advanced buttons on the reply box seem to be faded around the text, ie it looks out of focus, but maybe this is just my dpi settings or something.

-- I assume you will be adding the updates of latest posts to the right of each forum heading on the front page but if not, they are not there.
-- The classifieds link at the top goes to the help and testing forum.
-- In most forums, some of the links to threads are grey but the 1,2,3... page links are still cyan.
-- In forum help and testing, many thread titles/links are greay but I have never read them
-- The links at the bottom of the front page with all forum areas:

          bike polo --> classifieds;
          general and general go nowhere
          travel ----> general, ...
          misc gives me a no permissions problem.

There are a few more

I'm supprised more people don't like the theme although minimal and white does always look good
