[Announcement] Introducing: The New BHW

[OccultKingdoms]

You know that website's designs is the first thing visitors notice. It won't change what you feel about a design after weeks.

I'm on mobile still because before sleep.

I'll try the new color palette in my visual studio code custom theme tomorrow.

Looks fire!!!

I got good impression on the white theme.

Black worse.

No that little company called Google - they do a nice line in tools like Lighthouse but many other tools and user testing were also used.

And yet the audience who would be the real users wasn't given an opportunity to give their scoring.

Trolled hard. No beta testin for exec vips.

First day of new BHW roll out and I had to report my own threads for design issues.. lol.. Way to go..

Like the new design BTW.

What Zwielicht said...

Something about making the forum feeling becoming more like WhiteHatWorld.

Well, since white theme is better than black one, ironically it became more white hat.

I love this border around emojis. But it's in one place, another not.

Awesome!
I like it, especially the colors combination in the theme

I don't understand the need to lock a simple Poll thread by @ContentExpert
I appreciate the hard work that has gone into this but only a simple poll helps in getting better feedback in general if the new layout is well accepted.

Thanks for your comment. A 'yes' or 'no' poll doesn't provide the feedback we're looking for and have requested in this thread.

Don't make any changes to this new Fiverr quality theme. Just revert back to the old one, and 90% of users would be happy, able to read again without hurting their eyes.

Btw, I compare this *new* theme to april fools theme and i actually like fools theme better, was better contrast in that theme.

Nor possible. The core of the forum was rewritten.

I don't really understand how this new colour palette is justified with accessibility.

Around 5% of the population is color blind.
Why do you feel the need to make these new colours universal and force them to all?

That's just bad UX.

Accessibility modifications are most often implemented as extra features, and not forced to everyone.

Why not just change the colour palettes to the original ones and add a third theme that's specifically made with accessibility in mind?

Do you mean the Website? this is more about the user and not the post so it's been moved under profile. This won't be changed.

very, very, very sad....

 

[___main____]

At first, I thought I reached another website. But I got used to it after a minute or so.. Good job, team!

Nor possible. The core of the forum was rewritten.

And now the question is: why not rewrite the back-end to have both options available for both new and old designs, instead of forcing users to use only the new design?

Haven't you played games like lol on blind mode? Damn

It's a bit hard to digest, but the comments here seem like people are just having trouble with changes rather than having specific trouble with the design. I'm not sure where I stand, yet. I love some of it, but miss the yellow highlights.

Got to wait a few days before I make up my mind.

Man, take a break. Out of 400 odd messages, 200 must be yours

Relax after work. All constructive criticism...

Only last 3 pages

I prefer to have the reaction score back to the profile as it was a trust indicator for multiple people here.

Agree

 

[iFreelancer]

Looks neat! I like it.

The profile section looks a bit weird...Kind of old forum style i guess it will be fine

I'll leave my own opinion on dark theme:

1. The background color of the dark theme should be #000. It makes the text much easier to read, at least on my monitor 49" LG with IPS panel. Right now it reflects.
2. userExtras from left side should be a little bit bigger, 1rem probably. Its too small right now.
3. The avatar will look much better at 192px instead of 48px.
4. It's hard to differentiate if a post has been read or not.
5. Probably a BANNED user title should be added, along with a strike text on the username.

EDIT:

Right now:
