I still like the Fusion. I looked at the Beta one, but damnit, this is a Tavern! I'm used to the site being darker :lolz:

Get over the old musky look of a Tavern.

And embrace the Grand Opening. There will be more parties. More females. More clowns if you know what I mean.

-Quick reply box header needs to go from grey to new blue as well.

I have noticed that the "Who's Online" page defaults to sorting alphabetically by username. I can't remember, but I believe vB allows you to designate which criteria to set as the default for sorting.

Most forums go by "Last Activity" since that gives you a quick picture on who is really actively browsing (since the list is keeping track of people that might not have actually clicked anything in 15 to 20 minutes). It can make it a little hard to gauge who is actually, truly on at the moment.

I usually just click "Last Activity" to sort it anyway. Is there a use that someone else has for the alphabetical method that I just don't think of?

I'll fix those things today.

I messed with the colors some and came up with this. I think it would adapt well to green and red variants.

If you like the idea, I can work on matching reply / quote / new posts etc., etc. buttons that match the style.

Used the following colors:

4b73aa - Subheading Light Blue
Nevermind the gray; it looks bland when I made another mock-up
bbbbbb -Welcome/PMs box darker gray
f1f1f1 - post background color (quick-reply, standard reply background)

edit - added quick reply box background color since it doesn't match the theme at all as of now. Actually, same with the standard post reply background. Its an odd off-blue color.

Re: New Style Survery

Can I just say, please for the love of god don't make it light blue, dark blue, and a combination of gray - they look too standard and too "Hey, we haven't put any time in to changing our forum colour scheme around, so we just stuck with this original one."

Re: New Style Survery

ExtremePixels wasn't winning any favors. I never like green on websites. I think some off-reds or brownish-red could look nice.

Actually so far the best one was the Green and white IMO.
