The new forum skin is available now. I released it a little early.

Some things to note:

1) The main website will have slightly different color schemes, though mostly will be the same and fluid.
2) The View New Content button is in the top right corner next to the RSS button.
3) Some icons will still have a white shade around them. Feel free to clean them up and post them in a ticket. We are trying to clean up IPB's mess of code and image sets as we go.
4) This is only the first installment of the forums. There will be additional improvements with the website.
5) The member status icons on each post will be sync'd soon and probably will be adjusted just a bit tomorrow to be more customized for the forums instead of the website (which is where these came from).
6) We removed the RPG mod from the forums. It took away from the forums and not added. Perhaps we will add something to replace it soon.

Most of all, sit back and enjoy the forums and the game. Let's not get bogged down in a slew of suggestions and flames. We have other things to focus on right now. Feel free to post those suggestions, especially if they are minor tweaks, in the customer support. You can find that link in the menu above.

Nice and dark. I like the general forum layout,as for that chap and the general idea in the background. Blegh.

I'm sorry, but this even worse than the one that was before. And everything is so slow now.

And wth is this? There is more stuff like this, but not that much bad.

You must enable JavaScript. You will not be able to browse the website or forums well without it.

As the site loads well for us in a variety of browsers, if you have an issue, please tell us what browser version you are using along with any plugins of importance.

My JS is ok. And this is IE8.

Nvm about slow part. Now its ok.

I prefer the darker forum skin. The only one was too bright.

[Gringo335]

Well this certainly is better than the old forum skin. In my opinion, Dark is better.

I defiantly have Java enabled, and that same thing pops up for me when I first load the page, then it goes away. Opera 11.5, no plugins. I did also experience a bit of slowdown on my first loading of the forums [last night and then again this morning], but successive loading in the same session are not slow for me [this could very well be the way Opera caches information on webpages though].

However, I do like the icons and layout of the skin, it feels very effective and simple.

[edit]

The menu bar at the top of the screen is pretty amazing.

Showing up and then going away is how it works on all browsers. The site is still loading.

much much better than the other skin,top notch imo.
