Using the old theme I could scroll left or right to view an image too wide for the comment box, now however scrolling does nothing.
Example: [image no longer available]

Old theme: [image no longer available]

Alright, made a few changes as listed below.

• Small text should be larger
• Grey on grey text is now black on grey
• Links are now blue, not grey
• Sticky topics now stand out more
• Quotes in forum now have border to help distinguish them
• live map opens in new tab

Think that was all for now. Please keep posting suggestions, its really helpful and we are listening

Thanks, Opti. It's a lot better now.

I like the new idea for voting. I think it will really boost the number of votes the server gets each month!

Profile -> Look and Layout -> Choose a theme -> Opticraft

it's the "default" theme with an added background image and new logo. still working on it, but it's there to enjoy for now.

I REALLY like that, just tried it and I think it's rather cool!  The block changing at the top of the page is awesome!  It's similar to the default but with a bit more colour and I think it's more lively and nicer to look at!  Nice work!

Very nice, sleek and not over the top.

opti's complaint about the theme with the background is that it somewhat conflicts with the fancy menu at the top. the menu "just doesn't blend right with the background," and i can somewhat agree with it.

if anyone has a suggestion on how to make the top bar conflict less with the background image, please speak up in this topic.

here is a screenshot of what it should look like next time opti comes online: (click for bigger)



- fixed the conflict with the bar at the top (now it's a smooth curve! yay!)
- removed tacky and unattractive ALLCAPS menu items
- very slight drop shadow on menu items to accent the drop shadow on the logo (i am good at making up bs reasons for things!)


keep feedback coming guys, it's appreciated.

edit: fixed horizontal scrollbar as well. thanks exox.

Awesome!
One thing: I'm pretty sure that someone else is using redstone, (Not totally sure, but it seems unoriginal :/ )

the block changes when you refresh the page.

and there's a 1/1500 chance that you get a special banner... courtesy of relkeb.

The new theme that is shown above, with the redstone, is too common.
I dont like it.. The letters are too easy to be fixed.. They are thin..
The Word "Opticraft" as it is now, is very cool.
