you made it ugly

[sabret00the]

just wanted to say, what you done to the nav bar seems really OTT to me and losing the bottom of the cat bit just sucks, i liked that :(

[imported_kyk0]

I just really dislike the width.

[Oblivion Knight]

Each to their own I suppose.. I like the new style personally.

[tomp]

me 2

[Ryan Ashbrook]

I like it. It inspires me to do something similar for my site.

Not totally similar, of course.

[Dan]

it looks ok to me :D

[RixiuS]

I think they should just leave vBulletin Default style as an option, for those of us who prefer it. :)

[Tony G]

Image Links > Text Links. It's how the old style was, and looks just as good on the new style.

[SaintDog]

I personally see no problem with it, everything is not going to look 100% like the vB2 version.

[CannonFodder]

i just dont like the percentage for the width...

[assassingod]

I like it:)

It's probably to make sure it fits on all resolutions?

[CannonFodder]

and it also makes it look incrediblyy stupid on higher resolutions.

[imported_kyk0]

And low ones.

[Sebastian]

i really dislike the entire theme,... no offence, it looks like my girl friends website..

text is hard to read, too small. basically hard to see things in general.. awful style... it would be nice to have a default templates to choose from just like on vbulletin.org/com.

[Tony G]

Hmm, I find it hard to see why so many don't like it. It looks 90% like our vB2 style which was a big factor is vBT's fame. Is the text hard to read because it's in a smaller font? I personally can read it fine. What resolution are you using?

[CannonFodder]

usually 1600 x 1200, but alot of the time, like when i'm designing something, i'm using 1920 x 1440. lots of empty space up and after 1280 x 1024

-.- Key to fame? I loved the Bluesaint style the best. :D

[Tony G]

And everyone said they wanted the old style back when that was put into place. :p

Yes a lot of the old regulars wanted this style back in place... maybe someone can create an alternate style for people to use that don't like this one?

[AWS]

Text is too small. Too much wasted, white, space everywhere.
All in all this style is terrible. I could deal with it if it wasn't so hard to read the posts.
As someone else said it looks like a girls site.

[vbmechanic]

What's wrong with girls? I like girls.

Maybe Saintdog is a girl :o


I don't mind the new top nav.. but I don't see why "User CP" has more space around it than the other buttons. Cheers on the redesign..

[Tony G]

I think they left the spaces out of the <if> tag for user CP button. Brad should fix that up, because register appears if you're not logged in.

[Michael2]

I think it looks awesome. I agree though, the text is too small and I usually like smaller text.

vbulletin has improved. vbulletintemplates.com not...

i don't see why you think this style is great only because it was great a year or more ago. :(

[Sebastian]

well i am on 1184 resolution and there is just too much white. text is way too small for forum. i am not blind but why strain the eyes anymore than you have to.

postbits are huge and just a lot of spacing taking up. the orginal purple vb style is ugly, but its easy on the eyes, and i'll take it anyday over this.

[Zachery]

Personally i like the style before brad upgraded....

[MindTrix]

Like in another post i made here, This style is nice, but it is too christmasy :) Need more style choices, Dont see why not if this is a template/style side of vB :)

[Zachery]

I think mine with the alternating postbits should come back!

Ive been toying with another style, but nothing final atm :)

[imported_skorzguy]

The layout is not bad but it would be nicer if the width was greater :p

[Brad]

I will increase the text sizes, personally im on a big resolution and do not see to much white space, im a fan of some white space, I don't like the layout to look busy.

Gold is coming soon, I will be adding the default vBulletin 3 styles when we upgrade so the ones that do not like the light blue style will have something to choose from.

At any rate this style is far from finished, we will be developing it over time. We might add some more custom styles to the board but im not sure when yet. The gold release will finally give us a stable vB 3 code base (did you know we have been running beta software here for over a year now? :eek: ). So ill be looking forward to developing some cool stuff off of that.

These smilies have got to go, I hope saintdog dose not get to mad ;)

[Tony G]

The enlarged text makes a very big difference. :)

[imported_FLOW FUSION]

I agree

[imported_sebastian406]

I really think this style is horrible. The whole idea of simplicity didn't work. The colors don't work, and the style doesn't flow at all.
