now, don't get me wrong, i'm more making this out of curiosity than complaint. i apologize in advance if anything i say comes across as harsh.
is a new forum update on the radar? from a graphic design point of view... the forum is a little... meh. it's always looked thrown together and unfinished to me. while the colors don't necessarily clash, they certainly don't blend together either. on the other hand, the layout is fine, the forum is easy to navigate in my opinion (that might be biased though since i'm quite familiar with it, if a newer poster could give their opinion i'd like to know their thoughts). back on the subject of the theme itself, to put it bluntly, there's a lot of work that could be put into it to make it look a lot more polished. perhaps if a little more TLC was put into the design it would bring in more people, as i can see the current look being a deterrent to some. something as simple as a banner would go a long way. perhaps we could have a contest for that? there's plenty of options, i'm just saying that if this was all meant to be temporary, it's been like this for a pretty long time, because if i remember correctly the forum was changed not long after the 2016 patch.
thoughts?
