The new look will certainly take a few days getting used to, but i have a feeling it will navigate alot better then.
Sofar I'm impressed!

| | | It's very nice, though I liked the last one as well.
Is it possible to remove the thin black frame around the avatars? It's the only thing that doesn't look good imo.

| | It looks more elegant than the old one. However, I voted "slightly better" because I have liked all versions of the Gamebanshee forum layout due to simplicity and readability 
There seems to be something wrong the poll, I can only see one person who has voted, and I know for sure that at least both I and Dottie have voted.

| | Very classy. I really like the earth/gold tones upon the black. 
My only suggestion, if it is at all possible, would be to change the thread reply/PM reply boxes to maybe a cream, since the white is quite a stark contrast.
Just my POV though, other than that, extremely attractive.

| | The graphic design looks very good.
But seeing as I use the 'old' 800x600 resolution, I have to keep centering the screen. 
I'll see how this rather slow computer copes at 1024x768 I think... |

| | | I like the whole color sceme(sp), But I am also having problems centering it. Due to whats been added to the left side of the screen. Overall I do like it.

| | Would it be possible for someone to move that bar to the right side of the screen?
Otherwise it either means zooming out which makes scrolling slower (at least for me), adjusting the resolution (also bad for me - it's a really poor PC- something I can't do anything about) or adjusting the bottom scrollbar every time.
Don't get me wrong, I do like the idea and the colours for the most part. |

| | | @Rav,
what are your specs?
My computer is a four year old P3 with 384 mb of RAM. Though, with a slightly updated Video card (Nvidia GE Force FX 5200), and an LCD screen.
But I don't have any trouble running my machine at 1080 by 1024, and the new skin looks awesome, no problems at all.

| | | Unfortunately, the navigation panel on the left has to stay where it is for the new layout. It is going to be hard coded for the entire site, and since I'll be using the right side for a different navigation panel for our walkthroughs and such, there's really no way to move it.
The reason you're having to center the screen is because your resolution is set to something less than 1024x768. My only recommendation is to increase your resolution to 1024x768, which a vast majority of video cards and monitors from the past several years should support. |

| | I'm not entirely sure of the specs of this computer but from what I can gather it's a P3, 128Mb RAM, an Intel 82815 Graphics Controller (Motherboard graphics chip I presume  ), 15" monitor, max res. 1024x768 - but that slows it down a lot.
I'd upgrade the computer, but technically it's not mine, so that's a slight problem... 
Also, I use Opera and it keeps popping up the Virtual Memory Low dialog box- and that's just when I'm using the Internet at 800x600 res.
And the Hard Disk space isn't going to support an increase in Virtual Memory either. It's a lost cause really.
I suppose I'll have to pester the owner to upgrade even if I end up footing the bill.
@Buck, well, thanks anyway.

| | | It probably takes some time to get used to, but for now I voted "slightly worse": too much fancy colours. And I get blinded when I push the reply button...

| | I like this very much.
When I got my new 19" LCD monitor, I started to notice that the background was full of those irritating small boxes, making me almost grazy (which is btw very hard  )
But now those are gone, and it looks in other ways also very cool
