@whome your browser might take some time to recognize the changes. Sometimes pressing control + f5 helps.

I meant "still" as in I've been reporting it since mid-March.

On the other hand I did a very-force-reload and I see that it's now fixed in the super fancy reply boxes. Lookin' slick!

I'm playing with a new post-box style. I made the line below the author information a bit thicker and I changed the post border to a light blue and added a slight drop shadow effect to each post. 

I tried these but they didn't look quite right:

• darker post border
  
• Dark blue post border (same color pallet)
  
• Thicker border
  

New Post Style: What do you guys think? Any suggestions?

More updates today.

• Changed announcements in thread-view from red to dark blue. The red was awful.
  
• Fixed font size for announcements, stickies, normal thread title bars From 13 to 14.
  
• Further page-number edits: bumped up the size of the page number boxes, adjusted padding to make navigation easier, etc. 
  
• Added background shading for post interaction buttons (bar at the bottom of posts)
  
• Quote Box: Italicized quoted username, added minor drop-shadow for separator and box
  

Can you make the user info area at a post a bit darker? It would be easier to separate from the text area. Other than that I like the blue border. But I would also like blue quotes like in the old forum version.

Good suggestions. I made the user info area darker, made the separator thicker (line below info), adjusted the space around the user info and avatar area, added a blue border to posts, and made the forum background just a hair darker. I think this looks a lot better 

[Shawn]

Yeah, it's definitely better.

hi Cyanide, I had an idea, would it be possible to have a timer somewhere in the posts, where you can see and others can see how long you have been on a specific sub,
so let's say, E3
somebody is experiencing all these benefits and we can see he has been on e3 for 3 months lets say.
I think this will help people with seeing how long some stuff happens for other people.
also, of course, it's very handy for people themselves for obvious reasons.

please take it into consideration!

Cheers
Griffin

I think it's easy enough to just go back to the first page to see the date. It's like the latest cars that try to do every little thing for you. Soon people won't be able to drive.

I know it's a strange comparision but that's what come to mind haha.

Griffin,that would have to be a custom plugin. I don't have the ability to create something like that. To add on to Ben's response, its proper journal etiquette to state which day you're on anyways

[Zane]

Cyanide if get time then just fix the like button and post section.. I love old theme.. Still using it.. If not then it's OK still

[Shawn]

Making the line thicker between the post text and signature of a user would improve the recognizing of the end of the post.

I like that the definition for a "review" is now included on the main page, and that the color of text that includes a hyperlink has been changed enough to clearly show that it contains a hyperlink.
