    I'ts nice to see that DP renewed its design, but personally I don't like it at all. Is there any way in which I can use the old one?

    It is just a matter of time before we all adjust.

    I hope so. Actually new design is quite nice, but totally inconvenient.

    You can get to the UserCP from any screen (upper-right, click on your username).

    Its just so much green now! I guess it was this green before, I just didn't notice. Oh well, I guess since I use vB4 on my site, I'm pretty much used to it already, I guess I'll adjust

    Personally I think VB made a big hash of VB4, totally messed it up.

    Looks like a 5 year old made it.

    On top of my other issue, I sort of found a bug...

    When creating a new thread in BST (the tickbox for "I am sure this is the best place" or whatever) only the tickbox shows, and not the text.

    Just throwing that out there :)

    Hah burn.

    IMO the new template's colors need to be updated. Too much Blue in the mix.

    VB4 has some nice things, like "reply with quote" not needing another page load.

    But the average page load is way slower than it used to be.

    Since I bet shawn will be checking this thread at least once more, I will also add my suggestion that on the forgot password form, the button to "reset password" should be on the left under the captcha.

    I also bet that this installation will be constantly improved on, and i hope that includes the colors of the design soon.

    PS. I definitely see how these colors can grow on a person, mere moments after I posted this msg I thought I could get used to them, they aren't all bad but it would be nice to see some testing going on with different color schemes.

    PPS: in quick edit, just like how in VB3 it used to say "Vote Now!" or whatever, now instead of "Save" sometimes it says "X"

    Every major site that upgrades or changes design has detractors.

    Ask sitepoint people.

    I like the new look a lot. The one thing I would suggest is to make the colors a little bit more vibrant. The greens almost come out as gray.

    Other than that, I really really like the new site design.

    I love the new theme. It's about time that DP had an upgrade and was spiced up a bit and you have clearly done that. I love it!

    GREAT JOB!

    You should try, this new template is utterly terrible beyond any imagination. I would dare to say that this template will cost you more money than would cost to modify this one to look like the old one. And it can't be that hard.

    And dudes ^^ , this forum is not about look, is about efficiency and money. This design is slow and cluttered, you cant read info fast, even after getting used to it you will spend 2x more time for any task compared to the old template.
