We've recently rolled out a few cosmetic changes around the place, most noticeably to the front page and the rank icons under your avatars. While most people seem to like the makeovers, some don't and we would like to know why. Post your feedback and address any issue you might have with the new designs below and we will do our best to fix them.

tom, you have made the front page look fabulous.

the new icons are pretty cool

 

all i askis that you re-route the button to use only one tab from the page to the forums

and that when you click on the brohoof logo on the forums, it links to the forums.

 

thanks ^^

The front page and user icons look superb! However it seems to be that the rp moderators lack a rank icon.

All rank icons except the builder ones look superb, I just honestly think the builder one is just a bit too... plain. I just don't like it, in my opinion. The rest of the icons look great though. Front page also looks dazzling.

The front page looks nice! It's a perfect way to let people who are new know how professional of a server this place has become. The icons look nice as well though I do agree with LooksDa that the builder icon looks a little plain. If the green was lightened a bit it would appear to have more of a shine like the rest. Otherwise things look pretty nice!

That was my question, too.

 

Honestly, I think it looks SO much better! You did such a brilliant job of putting the page into pretty little "sections" of information, so it isn't all jumbled up. Just, the page layout is really nice, and the colors are a good touch. Good job!

Talk about eye candy!

I love the splash page, it looks fantastic.

I don't mind the Forums opening in a new tab, but the logo at the top of the forums has and always will annoy me that it goes back to the landing page instead of the straight-up Forums. It's always felt kind of counter-intuitive to me. The rank icons look pretty slick, though I agree the Builder icon could be lighter, perhaps a more spring-y green. Just an opinion, tho. :3 You've really done some swell work.

I'm amused by the sneaky imagebreaker marks. The graphical improvements are fancy, though.

I noticed that it requires the window to be pretty wide in order for it all to fit. Could you make the page size dynamic?

I liked the color scheme of the first icons better, these seem washed out and pale in comparison to the former ones Tom made

Canterlot Night's palette is a bit too dark for my liking, but it could just be because it makes the forum boards burn my eyes due to the contrast.

What happened to Canterlot Night (not X)? I liked that one.

 

If you're like me and want it back, just inspect the element of a theme button and change the data-skinid attribute to 17, then click it.
