Guest shanemk Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 Maybe there's some display mode setting I haven't found. But assuming how the forum looks as is now, it's so ugly. The letters and topics are crowded together. It's cramped an absolutely unappealing. I mean yea I'm used to vBulletin's blue style but other forum's I've been on have been well put together too. TDN forums just seem hastly put together, in the graphics department at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mimii Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 Wow.. I think that was a tad bit rude. I honestly do not see anything wrong with it, I think you need to broaden your horizons a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen Diva Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 I second what Mimi said. I tend to like the layout and the way it works. It makes for easy finding of things when I need them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hrtbrk Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 It's a default IPB theme, I'm surprised so many people complain about it. It appears to be quite popular. IPB > vBulletin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, I think the forum layout is standard, as it's from IPB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lutarist Jake Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 I find it neat. And I don't see anyhing wrong with the colour scheme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruto Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 Are you looking at us through the Lo-Fi version? That could be your problem... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 How big of a computer monitor do you have? If it's relatively small, then screen real-estate is limited and I can understand your concern. However, our forums use professionally made skins from our board provider, Invision Power Services. It is likely that your display settings may not be correct.

Guest shanemk Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 Wow.. I think that was a tad bit rude. I honestly do not see anything wrong with it, I think you need to broaden your horizons a bit. I in no way meant it rude, but to be honest who would it be rude to? The developer of the bulletin or the tdn team who placed the content in the bulletin? Moreso the developers and they aren't around...I think. And as I said, I told you I have been on plenty of other forums. It's gray...drab, along with the other mentioned things. Included screenshot.

Xepha Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 This is the normal look of the forum. I personaly like it and don't think there is a thing wrong with it. A forum isn't meant to be graphicly entertaining. It's a place where you can read posts and exchange... so the emphasis should not be on graphics in my opinion but in content.

Ðãrk_Ångê£ Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 I use the blue skin. Maybe you would like the better? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unstream Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 Actually, I like how the layout looks. The gray makes it cooler too b) And I don't feel like it's crowded at all. Maybe you want to try the TDN Classic? (Found at the bottom of the page, next to the language selection) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest shanemk Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 TDN classic, the blue setup, does look nicer to me. But the text still feels cluttered. And yea a forum is about user-exchanges but that doesn't mean it can't at the same time be visually appealing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
