Alexx Posted December 5, 2005 Report Share Posted December 5, 2005 Its going to take some getting used to: however I think i will adapt.BTW are MD players being completely phased out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher Posted December 5, 2005 Report Share Posted December 5, 2005 It is a weird skin, eh! I like it, but it will indeed take some getting used to. You may always use a different skin, as per the options at the bottom left of forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breepee2 Posted December 5, 2005 Report Share Posted December 5, 2005 With BasicX I see the adbot, with Refault not. What's up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Posted December 5, 2005 Report Share Posted December 5, 2005 (edited) I'm still working on the new skin. Any chance of moving the "Mark All Forums As Read Link" back to the top-right or at least enlarging the font a little? I keep struggling to find it Edited December 5, 2005 by richyhu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher Posted December 5, 2005 Report Share Posted December 5, 2005 I can look into it. You know where it's at, right? Lower left side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the moment I'm not too keen As I've said, you can go to the lower left and change your skin accordingly. You do not have to use this skin.Yep, I got it - I just have to get used to it, but for the rest, nice skin wink.gifIf there is anything else you come across as troublesome pleae report it here, no matter how small it may be to you.

mercury_in_flames Posted December 5, 2005 Report Share Posted December 5, 2005 (edited) for some reason, on the IPB default skin, the one im using now, the old heading at the top, that you could click on to get to the main page of mdcf has a little thing saying 'IPB' instead of minidisc community forums.

yamagatacamille Posted December 6, 2005 Report Share Posted December 6, 2005 having the avatar et al on the right is very odd for my taste, really.i've reverted to Basic-X Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher Posted December 7, 2005 Report Share Posted December 7, 2005 (edited) I don't know if this is the same for anyone else, but Refault 2 has really grown on me -- the message content immediately on the left is nice for quick browsing, and the avatars on the right make more sense if you think about it. This makes avatars more important in regards to identification of each poster. My periphial vision seemingly helps me know who each post is by before even reading that info!This is the most advanced Invision skin on the Internet, and the CSS is truly amazing. I feel very privledged to even employ it, I really hope that others will find something in it too. Edited December 7, 2005 by kurisu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrazyIvan Posted December 7, 2005 Report Share Posted December 7, 2005 I am having a hard time with it but am sticking it out for now. I may change back to the default though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher Posted December 7, 2005 Report Share Posted December 7, 2005 (edited) No worries -- I think everyone should try it for a few days before shunning it. I want there to be a choice for everyone, hence the multiple skins available. I will be purchasing more skins soon (a darker skin for sure, and others), and possibly removing the regular Default altogether.

Syrius Posted December 7, 2005 Report Share Posted December 7, 2005 having the avatar et al on the right is very odd for my taste, really.i've reverted to Basic-XJust to comment I agree. Not complaining, but I went back to Basic X too. Ah, board, sweet board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zerodB Posted December 7, 2005 Report Share Posted December 7, 2005 Don't beat me up about it, but I think I really like the new skin. Sure the user pics on the right take some getting used to, but in some ways its good, the thread conversations seem to flow more.I like the style - it could probably use some tweaking in some parts I would imagine, but at the moment I'm just enjoying and getting used to the new look.Give it a shot, the new Refault grows on you. It's nicer than the default IPB skin. Nice choice, chris. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KJ_Palmer Posted December 7, 2005 Report Share Posted December 7, 2005 The default skin is the only one I can vaguely bear at the moment, so please dont get rid of that one. Any chance of updating ATRACLife too - sorry but that really is a disaster... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atrain Posted December 7, 2005 Report Share Posted December 7, 2005 i dont like it. i'm okay with the right side avatars but the bigger sigs screw up the page for me. i'll be using basicx mostly or the halloween when i'm lightsensitive.

KJ_Palmer Posted December 7, 2005 Report Share Posted December 7, 2005 I vote for the return of the olive-green skin. By far the best one ever.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher Posted December 7, 2005 Report Share Posted December 7, 2005 When they complete the olive skin for this new version of Invision I will purchase it accordingly.As for ATRACLife, yes, it has alot of work to be done on it, but it has grown well and things will be adjusted in time..

I had forgotten about the olive skin. But the new "refault" whilst taking a little while to adjust to is actually pretty nice as far as I'm concerned. I really like the font used for the titles of threads and the usernames. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pug Posted December 8, 2005 Report Share Posted December 8, 2005 I quite like the avatars on the the right as it means when I'm at work I can drag them off of the sreen to the right. Not that I don't like looking at all the pretty pictures but it is a bit obvious I'm browsing a forum (even though I only do this on my lunch break) With the original skin I could drag to the left, but when you hit "back" to go to search results all of the text is off the screen.I know there is a lo-fi version, but I find it difficult to get to grips with.So my verdict is I like the new skin.CheersPug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher Posted December 8, 2005 Report Share Posted December 8, 2005 Thanks Pug, sometimes it's hard to forge a new path when not many are keen on it, so your support means alot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Continuity Posted December 9, 2005 Report Share Posted December 9, 2005 Like CrazyIvan I've been keeping it on to get used to it.It is actually starting to grow on me. We've been using boards for sooo many years that look exactly alike. Curious if it started out this way instead of the "normal" look that the "normal" look would actually get on our nerves. The flow I believe is actually better on portable devices if you ask me. Especially if you turn graphics off. It reads better then the default skin on a Hiptop or Sidekick anyhow.One thing I find though, this new skin is a lot brighter overall. It might benefit from some darker shades.BasicX is ok, doesn't play nice with horizontal stretching though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
