Hey all! You may or may not have seen the short maintenence period we had up. It was to delete all of the old themes and start with this new one. I know it took a while to set up, but I was still adamant about trying to keep the shoutbox in a way that worked with the new design - it would have made the alignment of things look pretty awkward with our new background. But thanks to graydient and his help, the background aligns right, the shoutbox was finally moved to a position that works out just right, and then some. All the old themes will be re-designed in due time, but for now this is our default theme, and I really hope everyone likes it. I definitely think its a step up. If you guys have any feedback or spot some issues with it, please do speak up!

So, um...where is the shoutbox? ^^; It doesn't appear to be showing up for me.

Yeah, shoutbox is at the bottom of the main page.
I'm also probably going to edit the background to reflect the new characters as their renders are released, probably.

I hate it. Couldn't you use a theme without Yumi front and center?

This change is doing the opposite of what it was supposed to it seems. The original goal was to expand the space for the board by moving the shoutbox. You moved the shoutbox but the board didn't get any wider, in fact it got smaller because of adding sidebars larger than the shoutbox was originally. Also why delete the old themes? You could have left them there and renamed them with "(old look)" or something at the end so people could choose the style they wanted. Hey there, I can address the sizing issue. It may be difficult to tell without having the original version to look back to but moving the shoutbox did free up about 300 pixels or so of width for the boards to use. As for the margins, if I remember correctly (and I may not be) they were there to begin with and have remained unchanged. If you're still unconvinced about the shoutbox taking up space, I do have some screencaps from before it was moved where you can see the size difference it made on the boards. That said, depending on your size of screen, it's possible the changes have affected you more. If you don't mind me asking, what size screen/resolution are you using? It may just be that we need to make some accommodations to users who have smaller displays.

@sirawesome39 Thanks for letting me know-- I'll take a look at some of the design tomorrow when I have a chance and see if there's any adjustments we can make to help you out.
Sorry for the inconvenience, just bear with us through some growing pains! Part of the intent behind the redesign was to try and freshen up the look. Of course, as with a lot of things like this it's hard to take every possible scenario into account, so I do appreciate you speaking up about this.

I never said I had any intent to make it wider, I said the shoutbox clashed with what I had in mind. Its a bit sleeker without a super boring, solid color / gradient background. And, well, I could have. But I figured it would be better/simpler to just remake the old ones so they'll look better and fit the new mold is all.

This change is literally perfect, I have zero complaints.
