Don't be surprised if you come to Dnforum.com and see something different tomorrow.

Just click the Enter Domain Name Forum.

For those that want to see whats coming you can look at

http://beta.dnforum.com

and

http://beta.dnforum.com/forum

Don't bother posting on the new one as the DB is not a live one, just a test environment.

We will also be condensing sub-forums down to eliminate needless ones.

The new skin will be much faster once we take the old one down.

**BILLBO** · 04-19-2009, 01:03 PM

**owntag** · 04-19-2009, 01:03 PM

Its nice Adam but to be honest, with the change to an all white/gray skin it reminds me too much of namepros. sorry mate

.. maybe you'll consider to put back some of the nice red trim?

Ok, I can add that, for now it was about a cleaner nicer easier loading feature rich skin with no side bar on the forum index.

Adam, can are the photos on the homepage stock photos? If so it might be an idea to change the photo on the right of a man holding a phone to one of yourself (with a small quote caption) in a similar pose, it would add greatly to the impression of authority to those viewing the site for the first time, and could be built upon later in marketing terms.

Just an idea (99% of which are usually rubbish

).

You are not the first person to say that, Acro did this mockup.

Acro's looks cleaner (no offense to anyone's work).

That's more like it!

bd77 · 04-19-2009, 01:53 PM

http://beta.dnforum.com/forum - Its a little plain and needs some color in it. Maybe some red and blue like the old forum colors

**DotComGod** · 04-19-2009, 02:03 PM

Do you guys like the new quick jump feature in the new look?

-=DCG=-

**aZooZa** · 04-19-2009, 02:06 PM

I see you got rid of 'iSpy' Adam - I bet that was a resource hugger...

Yeah, let's have a little of the DNF red back

Will that replace the Unread Posts feature? I can't seem to find that option in the Beta version.

Its nice but how do you determine who has a Top Reputation?

Are you getting rid of unread posts?

Will the RSS feeds still work? I don't see any mention of them in the forum section.

**acronym007** · 04-19-2009, 02:15 PM

Nice looking...

**BILLBO** · 04-19-2009, 02:21 PM

Adam, Acro's mock up of you on the home page gives more gravitas to the site. Generally I like the new look, though as pointed out a little more colour may well enhance the site.

I do see a block titled 'Top Reputations' with numbers in the 100,000's could you explain the algorithm used to get this number - no argument with who is listed but an understanding would help.
