Default Re: Forum Changes

Removing the black line helped.
The backgrounds are mismatched on a number of pages though...

At least the backgrounds that are visible.
- Before the forum threads display, yes the background is the brown of the sidebar.
- This reply window is tan gray on the other hand, and the background seen after the thread titles load are similar shades of gray.

I'm not sure how to fix that except for a couple-pixel buffer on all of these forum pages.

It may just be me, but I think the sidebar is a little slimmer than before.

Sleek and efficient is good.

The forum announcement text... it has made the forum control panel (with index/search/faq/etc) twice as tall as before.
I'm not sure why the text is splayed across four lines with a big announcements title, when two or three lines would do (at least on my screen), and as a bonus make it fit in the original sized frame.

The "Order SE4 Gold" and similar links in other forums.
These should probably be moved to the sidebar, in the links section, instead of continuing to use the top space which is now being used more by other items.
Make the button gold coloured, or otherwise shiny to keep it obvious.

In order to keep the same bar for all of the pages, you could perhaps make a simple but effective "Buy This Game" button in the sidebar. As a gold button sitting among pink/gray buttons it will stand out when people are looking to find the store and jump directly to the game.

The blue colour scheme in the sidebar boxes is prettier, but dosen't really match the forum's theme.
