| | | Soooo....do we like the new layout?
I know i do. I refuse to create a poll as we have 3 on the first page already and it will just look bad.
Edit: http://gamebanshee.com/forums/showthread.php?t=67502 - Please vote in this thread before posting here.

| | Same problem, but I'm gradually getting used to it. It's possible to see about 3/4 of the page without needing to scroll at least.
I like the appearance though.  |

Plus it all depends on screen resolution what is your screen size?

| | I did vote - Slightly Better.
It's 800. This computer isn't really capable of much better though, as I desccribed in the linked thread. It can use 1024 but not at an effective speed- and for anyone who wonders I only use this computer for the Internet. My 'gaming' PC is much better but doesn't have that connection plus it's not where I live (long story).  |

| | Well then may god bless with you a third computer, a very "active" girlfriend or another internet connection. Which ever will make you the happiest

| | IMO it's very classy. Elegant and crisp, yet nicely understated.
I'm running Opera and I'm using a brushed metal skin which I have set to a sand colour...very, very nice combo! 
I also like the banshee icon beside the forums links when there is a new post, as well as the beige colour given to quotes.
I would like to see the white areas changed to a light cream shade because I find the contrast slightly stark.
But, overall, two thumbs up!

| | Where did you find that skin? I might try it too.
Does anyone else the issue of the icons in the reply window being set against a dark yellow?
Black icons on top of that isn't the greatst combination. |

>Tools
>Appearance
>select "find more skins" and you should be automatically taken to the site.
I'm presently using a skin called "The Blue Button," which looks quite a lot like the iTunes interface in texture.
Note, at the bottom of the appearance box there is also a scroll down menu that allows you to select your colours. You should probably have "special effects," checked too... if you comp can handle it...

| | I think it can just about handle the effects.
The Etched in Stone skin with Sand skin matches very well with GB too. |

| | Etched in Stone is another skin I really like.
I also use:
*TTT Gold 1.7
*TTT Paper 4.8
Both of which are nice, and complement the new Game Banshee skin very well with the Sand. Gold works too... but I prefer the subtlety of sand.

| | Hmm, not bad.
But I still prefer Etched in Stone, I think.
Now this computer's making a differently pitched humming sound. Maybe it's had enough of the abuse of browsing a website optimised for the 1024x768 res. 
Now I suppose we shouldn't discuss Opera skins and put the thread back on track. Which is a shame. |
