Some time ago, Marek said the forums would get a new design layout, one that is probably similar to the main site's (with the nice blue background and stuff). I wasn't registered at the time so I didn't comment on that, but now that I am, I was wondering if a new forum design is indeed planned, and when we may expect it to arrive. I understand such things are highly time consuming, and I'm perfectly happy with the forums the way they are. So my intention here is just to satisfy my curiosity, as I'm very grateful to everything you guys do around here.

Also, I noticed there's a glitch on how the profile pages appear; some sections overlap others. Nothing too serious but I thought I'd take the opportunity to bring this to your attention.



Here's a screenshot I took of my profile, under Firefox 3.5.1 (it appears the same way under Flock 2.5 as well).

Best regards,
Alexandre

Yeah, we are aware of that. That, and a couple of other issues, were caused by the recent forum upgrade. Can't promise as to when they'll be fixed though.

Okay, thanks for the reply. At least I know my browser isn't playing tricks on me.

It takes a long time to update the vBulletin forum templates. If we switch the forums to the main page template I also think people will expect to be able to use the log-in box at the top of the page to log in for both the site and the forum at the same time, which isn't the case now, so we should probably try and get something like that working first.

Yes, editing a forum template must be quite difficult, I can imagine that. I'm wondering now, is vBulletin less user friendly or more obscure than similar packages out there?
