What do you think of "Digit forum redesign"?

[Gearbox]

I like the thinkdigit forum for its content and the views that're being shared across.

I dont know whether i'm the only one getting this feeling. The forum design appears like 'Windows Classic' to me, giving an expression that something can be done to make it appear like 'Windows Aero'. I accept that CONTENT matters rather than the LOOK. But, most of the books are judged by their COVERS.

While thinkdigit.com has lots of eye-candy stuffs, why not forum section.
What do you think, Digitians?

Mods - Move to the required section or modify it, if needed.

yea, this is Windows 3.11 retro look.

We tried upgrading to vBulletin 4.2 but that failed because of a very odd reason. We will upgrade soon, that might make the forum look better,

[JojoTheDragon]

I wonder when was digit forum last updated successfully.

If it ain't broke don't fix it.

If it ain't broke don't fix it.

It's better to fix, before it breaks.

[Kl@w-24]

I remember all the times they tried to fix it. *shudders*
So I'm pretty happy with how it is right now.

Totally Agree

It won't break.

[Piyush]

just fix the "change your Avatar" thing first
It gives me "unable to save the image " error

[prudhivisekhar]

Me too waiting for complete overhaul of the forum site....

[Shivam24]

for me, getting aware of technology and increasing my knowledge here is all, it doesn't matter to me what interface they use to provide it, though new look may attract non tdf members/guests...

soon we'll upgrade to vb4.2, and hopefully will be a much more 'eye-candy' forum then

well, it would have been upgraded successfully if proper space was allotted for the forum in Amazon cloud.

The website guys only allotted 2 GB. The database size is over 1 GB. And while converting database from vB 3.8 to vB 4.2 - it ran out of space.

Thankfully a back-up was taken before and we reverted back.

Classic/Retro look is okay for me , atleast I don't have to worry about speed , and bandwidth.What mostly matters is the posts.

But it would be great to have a hi-def version/theme.

The new one will still be retro. But may be a little more good looking.

[the_conqueror]

So, what updates can we expect from the vb 4.2

That's sad to hear.

Anyway.... just wishing whatever upgrades are done, we get a choice of a dark/darker theme.

Please!

I like this interface. Will miss it if it goes

Many websites have used black/dark color or their design.Some say its environment friendly too.
Thinkdigit should Have a matrix kinda theme.Will reflect the name.

vbulletion 4.2 is lot nicer than 3.11, with some tweaks.

Sad to know the efforts went in vain. Lets hope Aamir's effect "ALL IS WELL">

Yeah , the Blackle sort of color layout , but not completely black.

This is how the upgraded digit forum would look like -

Each will have their opinion. But it is the maker, who decides. Lets wait and see.

[aaruni]

lets have a poll.
OR
lets have a choice of theme, even after the forum has been upgraded to vB 4.

[Gearbox]

You mean in the 'Opinion polls' sections?. Yes, themes can be of personal tastes too.

[Chirag]

yea, theme choice. I am pretty used to the current look. Wouldn't want to change.

Take a look at this forum: XtremeSystems Forums

We might end up looking close to that.
