Welcome to CAA version 2.0!

[LorentzForce]

I can't even remember how many times this place changed its theme now.

Anyway, light text on black is always win.

[edit] And you got rid of my banner that Straylight made for me D: Nooooooooo

[Warrior4Christ]

Woah.. did I type in the wrong URL?!?

Oh wait.. the default skin is all black now, is that correct? When I signed in it changed to a somewhat-more-similar light greyish theme.

This horizontal user bar thing look might take a bit of getting used to..

Anyways, thanks for your efforts!

[ShiroiHikari]

Me likey. Thanks Mith.

Like some other people have said: change happens. Myself, I find light font on dark background easier on the eyes, so the balance seems positive even on a superficial level (not to mention internal improvements). Just have to retrain myself to find "User CP" and "Get New" in different places...

I kind of like a darker background myself, I think. It seems a little easier than having my eyes blasted with a bunch of white.

Uhm... I like most of it but I have one big issue with the new layout.

ALL of the old uploaded images are like gone. When I click on an uploaded image it doesn't show up and it says it is a 1x1 gif? This is especially distressing since I have not had a chance to judge the coloring contests and I can no longer see any of the entries.

I kind of like the new image gallery and I kind of don't... I prefered just having the gallery be part of the actual forums But I think with time I will get used to the change.

Also if someone stumbled across the site they wouldn't really know where they were. it would be nice to have some sort of CAA logo at the top. I also miss the links to anime angels and the project which used to be at the top of the page.

lastly what happened to the front page??? I missed having announcements and such on the front page. Are you going to bring it back?

[Htom Sirveaux]

Whoa, snazzy! Starting directly from a forum page caught me off-guard, but it's nice! Positive feedback from El Bardo!

Banner...?

[Alice]

The blue and green balls by people's name have still not been explained.

Please explain. It's not gender related. It is post related??

[Mithrandir]

It's answered in the other thread, but they denote if someone is online or not.

[LorentzForce]

Banner...?

It kinda goes way back.

[Mithrandir]

Gimme a few weeks. Maybe I can get a bunch of these back.

[Mithrandir]

Actually, maybe I can do it quicker! I figured out where a bunch of these were stored and fixed 'em up.

[Nami]

oooo! The Nami likes!! XD Wonderful look! Me-sa liketh!

[LorentzForce]

Thank Mith~

It's online related. If you're online, the button turns green. If you're off, it turns off. Very useful. XD

I'm also happy to say that I've gotten used to the dark format, and now I can't change back because I'm so used to it. XD But it's okay, my LJ is dark to so getting used to this wasn't too difficult.

Thanks. I looked around, and couldn't find the answer.

It seems like a good system, once you know what it means. :3

[The Doctor]

Why the change?

I liked the old page where it said in bold letters "CAA" and everything was laid out like some futuristic Japanese wallscroll that was computerized.

Did the contract to use that image run out?

Again, I know change happends, but the new look makes the place seem as little more than just another "forum" and not a "community".

I can't explain it, but the old site seemed to say "there's more here than meets the eye" while the new design says to me "this it. This is all there is, live with it."

I'll deal if these are the final changes, but I just wanted to voice my concern and I apologize if anyone's feelings are hurt over my comments.

[Bobtheduck]

can we get http://www.christiananime.net/forums.php to direct back to the main page?

[RobinSena]

Aw man, it's been up for 4 days? All this time my link to the forums hasn't been working, and I thought CAA was still down..


Looks nice though. =)

[ilikegir33]

Awesome design! However on the reviews my computer won't display the score thermometer thing.

[Warrior4Christ]

The list of "currently online members" used to be in alphabetical order (except for your username), but now the list seems to be in no apparent order. It's just a minor issue, but I preferred it in alphabetical order.

[Kamille]

Thanks for your hard work. I especially like the blue or green balls next to our names. If you're going to change things further, please try to keep this aspect.

[Mithrandir]

That's a good idea. I was under the impression that any/all 404s were jumping back to the main page - making this the default, but I'll look into why it's not working for you.

[Radical Dreamer]

I'm still loving the new design, but I noticed a problem recently:

In the gallery, you can't get to the second/third/etc. page of comments unless you actually make a post. It's like the links to the other pages don't work or something. Just thought I'd mention it and see if there are any problems with that. XD

Thanks!

[everdred12a]

Wanted to say thanks for updating at least one of the old skins with the top buttons. Is there any chance we might see the old CAA Dark again?

[Mithrandir]

The current upgrade path does not account for re-writing additional skins. I do not have the bandwidth for that at this time.

We might add that as we look through additional issues related to usability.

[Kaligraphic]

Is the inability to edit one's own posts after a period of time a bug or a feature?

[Mithrandir]

It's a feature, but one we will be taking a second look at later on.

[jon_jinn]

i just got back from a two-week vacation and this is what i find?!?!

NICE. VERY NICE. good work guys. love the new design a lot.
