I figured out what these dead pale colors remind now - "BHW from Silent Hill"
 
There are some repeat questions in this thread, so I'm going to create an FAQ section at the bottom of the opening post.
i was wondering - unless im missing something , on the old layout
we could collapse certain forum categories we had no interest in.
now i see no way to minimize those forum categories down from here
all categories remain fully open https://www.blackhatworld.com/forums/
You're right, there was a little arrow button there before.

For me is good now, I only see improvements.
Only the light theme is too ... white. If possible, change that white to black something more grey-ish. It's light theme, but not light on the eyes IMO
Anyways, I'm using the black one, so.. thumbs up for that.
Is it too white in general, or too white in comparison to the old white theme?

The current background colour is #f3f3ef. I think the old background was straight up #FFF
 
Better than before, nice
It feels like playing GTA 5 compared to GTA 4.

Or more like GTA 4 compared to GTA SA.

I just opened on the desktop for the first time.

GTA 5 was more colorful and not really like GTA.

It feels like a different forum. Hard to compare to old version.

Regards

I'm double Jr VIP. Hooray.

Some things are rounded. Some things are not. Interesting why...

The overall feeling of rounding is better than full square design. Times square? No, just old schooling too hard. When the internet had started everything was just squares and rectangles. That's what CSS was made for in the beginning. Today it offers more options to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PGNiXGX2nLU...

Come on.... you just said that because of their GTA avatar ;)
 
I think the contrast of font to borders is well done. It's actually bright and the background isn't all black though it's well mixed in all these shades. It's actually kinda bronze but not too shit-like (joke).

Black isn't overwhelming and isn't everywhere like it used to be.

It feels like good design i recall from "game related forums". People running those forums paid premium prices for that type of design.

Yes, but also I recall how vibes in different versions of GTA were.


I believe some people complain too much as they're full time complainers probably.

On a second thought, it's not so bad, I was probably switching themes too much and had this false impression that it's too white.

Just found another issue, missing the thread pages counter at the top. There is one at the bottom, but the one at the top was useful for me. Android phone, just in case.

The visual hierarchy is on point.

I am a designer with 0 months of professional experience but I used to stuff myself design stuff for a couple of months, non stop.

Someone may criticize me for my sense of visual hierarchy, but so I can their.

That's fine, that makes sense.

I checked on my phone right now and I can see that there's a page counter at the top isn't there now, but there's a page counter at the top and bottom on the desktop site. Whilst I can't say this for certain, that may have been a deliberate design change on the mobile site that meant the top page counter was removed to simplify the mobile theme.

The design team who worked on the theme reads these posts, so perhaps you'll get a better response in due time.
 
Lovely! This has better readability now! Although my eyes are a bit confused to the “washed” BHW lol
