Not an improvement at all, hurts my eyes.
Unfortunately this form of criticism is not actionable.
What would be more helpful (least to most):
- A specific list of things that can be improved
- What can be done to improve things
- A mock-up image of how you would improve things
- A pull request to improve things
Why do people want to change the way the forums look? I quite
like them the way they are now, soft on the eyes, fairly good
layout.
To match the new dlang.org design. I'm guessing you've missed the
other threads?
The forums main disadvantage is features, no code highlight, no
formatting, no embedding content like images or videos into
posts, ect. Also voting on posts/threads could be very useful
to see what people agree with and what they dont. Right now we
just have people replying with "+1". This could be
exceptionally helpful for help/opinion request threads, the
best answer would be upvoted, shit answers down voted.
These issues have been previously discussed many times. (The
conclusion summary is that since the same content needs to be
available via multiple media - mailing lists / NNTP - content has
to be restricted to the lowest common denominator, these features
are controversial as the add bloat and noise, and we seem to be
doing just fine without them). Now is not the time to discuss
them, because the current effort is on the dlang.org redesign.
I'm sorry, but so far you still haven't provided any useful
criticism.
