Title: New Forum Design and Layout
Post by: Matt the Lion on August 06, 2011, 22:35:16
Welcome to our refreshed, tidied and streamlined forum! In full Hollywood tradition we've given the whole thing a facelift, tummytuck and over six hours of makeup.

Here's a quick summary of the changes we've made:

We really hope that you like what you see, and we look forward to talking to you here and seeing you at ConFuzzled 2012.

Please let us know what you think of the changes or if you have any suggestions for further improvements to the forum.

It works in Internet Explorer so I'm a happy wolfy. It might be nice on the add reply to take out some of the boxes, there's a lot of them there that don't seem to be needed (insert tables, teletype and such).

I thought I'd logged onto the EF forums by mistake at first XD. They look so similar now!

Looking good, everything is still easy to find and the new purple/white colour style blends together well.

Link text blends into (http://confuzzled.org.uk) the regular forum text a little too well . . . perhaps this could be underlined, or at least a more visible colour?

None of the drop down boxes work for IE6, I can't see them at all. Before someone throws something at me, I like IE6 it looks nice for me and works for what I do.

I'm afraid that IE6 is now a very outdated browser (first released 10 years ago!) and as of July 2011 only used by approximately 2% of UK internet users - the amount of extra work which would be required to make the site and forum support IE6 would be almost as much as that required to create it in the first place as we would have to rework almost all the templates and coding to allow for IE6's quirks. 

Even Microsoft are running a campaign to get people to stop using IE6... http://www.ie6countdown.com

True, I'm forever being told off by a friend for still using it. The forum works fine though in IE6 (I'm using it now in fact). I suppose I should get around to upgrading it to whatever version they are on now. I think I can only make it up to eight, nine isn't supported on XP so I am lead to believe.
