I asume you have all noticed something different with the site .

I also asume you can still read this... I'm starting to fear i'll go snowblind from staring at the new layout to much.

5 minutes on a standard monitor and my eyes are starting to hurt! Wich sadist designed this anyway?

Hyperbole aside, I'd actually report the designer to the admins. No site should make my eyes water after 5 minutes!

If you agree with me, or you dislike both me AND the new design , Please send your feedback to FFG and ask them ( politly that usaly works better ) to either change it back or give us a button to change the theme.

Now if you'll excuse me, I'm off to cry tears of blood.

Well it may grow on me, but I immediately disliked how in your face it is.

Immediate problems

I couldn't even find my way to the armada forum from the main page.

It is nearly impossible to navigate on my tablet.

Looking at it again, I was not assaulted by massive pictures and text. Maybe it was only because of the first visit.

Why in the high hell did they need to change the forum layout, THERE WAS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING WRONG with the old one! BRING IT BACK! FIRE THE NEW GUY! I refreshed my browser like 10 times thinking this was a bad glitch on the site or something like the page wasnt loading properly. WTF!

This sais it all, doesn't it...

yeah i cant say im mad on it, you can change to the old one apparently but i cant find the 'change theme' button.

This certainly shouldnt be the default

I couldnt find a theme button too, after refreshing a billion times thats the first thing I looked for lol

(edit)

Also, yea, reported to the webmaster.

I wonder if they have removed it to force you to use this.

Daft if they have.

I dont mind change when its needed but this is very user (un) friendly.

I'm now actually wearing my sunglassess AT NIGHT! INDOORS! to look at this site...

While this does make me look cool, I can't think of any other site that requires me to wear protection...

I think the designer got that one song wrong. It's "future" not "site"!

Hey Gadge, aren't you on speaking terms with some of the admins? They can't be happy with this either, right? I mean having to read user posts all day on this layout;..

It's gotta be bad for their eyes aswell...

I created an account to express the exact opposite.

The old fantasy flight site was showing its age, and this responsive redesign is a huge step forward.

Keep up the good work.

The old site never gave me a headache. Hell, if they made the white a bit (a lot!) less bright and changed the contrast on those menus ( http://community.fantasyflightgames.com/ ) I'd be happy. Can you read what's the 6th item without going over it with your mouse?

The design isn't the problem, the crazy white background is.

It needs options for those that don't want to wear sunglasses while reading their site.

It just screams institutional.

The theme button is back!!!!!!!!!!!

This sais it all, doesn't it...

No you should have used a pic from that one horror movie with Robin Williams were hes a stalker photo developer. He has a dream were hes in a pure white store and then red blood shoots out his head.

Ive been gone working on Resident Evil HD remastred. Guess I should of stayed here to experience the true survival horror.

The theme button is back!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes it is. Much better,

Okay everybody relax! we got our theme button!

I wonder at wich post they said" You know, we might need to chnage things back."

Personally I like to think it was me posting all those "empty sockets" cards from the CoC LCG.

Admin 1: "ack my eyes are starting to hurt..."

Admin 2: "Waaah!"

Admin 1: "What's the matter?"

Admin 2: "That Robin guy keeps posting pics of "Empty Sockets" I hate that card!"

Admin 1: "Okay we need to give them their old layout back!"

yeah the site design isnt a problem, its the glaring white background.

I sent Even some messages, he responded and made the changes the forum wanted that i voiced on behalf of those after asking peoples views.... i wouldnt say i had any influence, i think Evans just a decent guy who listens to the players ... not just me

edit: and... relax..

Just found the change theme button... wow thats better.

Man I feel like Alex Delarge at the end of a Clokwork Orange...

New design:

Old design back:

Where exactly is the theme button?

Very bottom left, in between the RSS feed icon and the language identity

"responsive redesign"

It is no such thing, and that is a meaningless buzzword designed to imply progress where none exists.

Like "Progressive metal" it just doesnt feel right having those two words next to each other.

I can read everything very clearly. I am using an exceptional ips panel monitor at work, maybe the contrast is better? The white comes off amazing to me.

I generally spend my days staring at an IDE with a black/dark background too.
