    FYI, the spacing issue with the Likes counter on threads is now fixed. The links to your profile and private message in the sidebar column on the home page now work. Also, I edited the toolbar some and added a "Games" button. Drawback is the games have ads so you'll have to wait a couple seconds to play.

    It happened to me again, I think it may have something to do with the notifications thing that pops up at the top. After clicking that (taking me to my profile page) then I went back to the forum index and things were messed up.

    I logged out again and logged back in and things are fine again. Maybe I need to clear my cache/cookies?

    [MENTION=1146]BoltzRule[/MENTION], do me a favor, can you send me a like? That way I can see if that's the issue.

    @SteveRobWhatever If you aren't able to duplicate it or anything then don't worry about it. So far things look fine if it happens again I'll let you know.

    I am not having that error, I had two notifications sent and blinking when I took the screenshot

    Any chance of a dark version of the new skin in the future?

    Could an option be put out there to minimize those sections?

    No, that function is not available for the sidebar with the way it's coded.

    It is a bit overloaded, I agree, but after having the skin on for a while I have started to get a feel for it and I like it. With the new posts icon being displayed its all good. I like the idea of a dark skin version though.

    Yea I've always been a fan of darker skins. Hopefully that'll be an option eventually.

    Just testing some things. For now the new posts link can be found in the second navbar menu.

    I hated it there! I like it on the left side of my screen.

    Is anyone else having trouble with this skin slowing the site down?

    No.

    Now that I've used the new layout and skin for awhile, I really like the changes. especially moving the User Stats from the top of the post to the left side. Seems to clean it up. The only thing I don't like is the amount of dead space below the sigpic. Even with a sigpic and a banner there's dead space. I'm guessing 25-40% of each page is wasted space depending on which users have posts on that page. I would prefer a smaller area below a post so that when scrolling a page you're reading more posts. Just my opinion.

    It bothers me too. I was going to tinker with the layout some, maybe move the favorite teams and member badges under the sig in a row going from left to right.

    That would make it a lot easier to use the site on my phone. Definitely would cut down on the scrolling, which is super annoying.
