As you would all have noticed that Digit forum has got a new theme!
Give you opinions about the new look...
Also report any bugs in this thread...
EDIT : I disabled adblocker after Cyrus_the_virus and arunks reported to find out that ads had also been integrated...
The theme is good but this ad thing sux..

Man, this forum looks so messed up.. especially with the addition of ADS!!!

Why can't this forum run without ads?? No one is going to click on those ads till those are removed, anyone joining me in not clicking them?

lol.. those ads at the top are so strategically placed that one might even accidently click them when clicking on UserCP or Digit forum links! lol.. this $ukc$

It is not fully adaptable for old users..

Not upto full expectations

color combination is not great and not even fully good

I found previous skin better than this new one. Previous one was more professional. Current one looks childish.
Also "Edit", "Quote", etc buttons are too small.

Anyway changes are welcome. :)

PS: May be the previous skin was not compatible with new vBulletin version? Thats why we were having "Edit" problem and that forced them to change the skin?

Yup, i liked the theme. *gigasmilies.googlepages.com/32a.gif

And i'm not against placing ads. *gigasmilies.googlepages.com/25a.gif Who will leave a fully grown up forum without ads *gigasmilies.googlepages.com/40a.gif

But the current theme is bit pain to eyes *gigasmilies.googlepages.com/15a.gif

lol.. looks who's giving advise on firefox and ubuntu! LMAO

I knew it even before you strated using firefox or ubuntu @iMeov. And I don't like using those features, because of the simple fact that sometimes, it makes a page look really bad, by either having 'X' marks over them or by living a big while gap where the ad was supposed to be. I don't have problems with ads so long as they are neat, well placed and not intruding or tries to take advantage of a mistake.;-)

There are no additions involved with a vB skin..except a new visual look.

All the new additions like images in siggy are due to vB upgrade and admins enabling them...

I don't like the colour combination of this theme. Can we have a black coloured theme, or something like old Daz Glass for VBulletin atleast as an option for those who are logged in

& Where are the Ads, seriously, I neither see the Ads nor any blank white space in place of Ads, oh well..benefit of Vista & Ad muncher it seems :D

Personally,
Hate the Theme.
Hate the Ads. ( Considering that this forum is an extension of your magazine I think that placing ads just makes you look "el cheapo". The again its just my personal opinion)

Jan 2, 2008 at 5:48 PM
anything new takes some time getting used to but, the FONT COLOUR SHOULD BE CHANGED...A bit darker would be more welcome. and the bright Orange needs to be subdued a bit. the theme overall should be made more spick n span, it luks littered.
gud effort, by de way...
Hail forum guyz......Cheerio!!

I think the loading problem is mainly coz of adsense..

I dont like a bit of this theme.
And i dont get it.
I had a thread running in which i had asked people whether they click on the ads and nearly 99% said they wont.then why add adsense.i have a very creepy theory that diggit is going down and by the addition of ads it confirms further. Be ready guys.one day we wont have this forum..theory have it mind..

I love the new theme. Has a nice web 2.0 feel to it. However, there's one thing that sucks. And that's the unread thread colour. Bright Orange? Seriously? It hurts the eyes. Just 'bold' blue would do fine for unread threads.

I don't mind the ads. If digit wants to make money of this forum, let them do it. I for one don't subscribe to the magazine so this is one way to pay back...

[I hope the quick reply thing is coming back soon]

Ah. Now I see it, the quick reply thing.

Anyway, one more thing. The ads at the bottom of the thread have this ugly dotted bounding box. That definitely needs to be changed either to a no border, or a light background fill.

The orange color is ..... PATHETIC!!
Ad-muncher costs $29??? hmmm... :rolleyes:

Yah, Orange + blue etc really bad.

Yes, ad muncher is 30 days trial I think, after that $29..

*www.admuncher.com/register.shtml page says so.

Forum is supported by good-quality posts and dedicated members more than adsense ads...This is what I believe.

True, but Digit guys want to make $$$$$ out of it, so they placed ads, simple !

Well there might be other reasons too!

For eg. the new management doesnot want to support forum so admins enabled ads to pay for the costs...
Or maybe some other reason...

Ads are fine enough for any reason they have put...there are ways to block them if you want. It doesn't matter till we have the forum up and running perfectly.

Well all had been complaining about pending forum upgrades and stuff...
Atleast some of our requests have been met by the admins...

Whenever I open Digit forum, the site loads like I'm opening it first time. Every image loads again like its not in browser cache.

Other sites are working fine so its 100% this site problem. It started happening when the new theme and vBulletin version was installed.

google adsense works on the pay per click sys, so yes if no one clicks at all, digit won't earn a buck.

Why dont u add some modifications such that Linux/Mac users and other browser users esp firefox too can take advantage of shortcuts.pls implement!

It's actually right besides the Google ads, but flushed left. So if you see the google ads, you see the search bar to the right. If you've hidden those somehow, then it will appear top left.
