If you'd just fix the doubling in the final frame it would be perfection.

I wish I knew how to, but I didn't make the avatar in the first place, and I have no clue how you would go about fixing a transparent avatar to not show a previous frame. :?

I don't care that it looks blocky. I'm still pretty set on keeping my avatar. I may have to tweak it, but I have never found one I liked as much as I like my current one.

Everything's so ... small. And squished. And full of spaces and borders.

This will take more time to adjust to than the upgrade to 3.0, was it? ... not to mention having to re-adapt to avatars et cetera being on the left hand side again...

But eh, it happened before, it'll happen again.

I think the new look is great with one exception. I now have horizontal scroll for every page. I hate horizontal scroll. Otherwise, the new look is awesome.

Horizontal scroll? What's your resolution at? 640x480?

1024x768
I don't have to scroll to see any of the text, I just don't like having the scroll bar appear at the bottom.

The problem with "blocky" avatars is that the images themselves are a larger size and it's being left up to the browser to render it smaller, and that's not the prettiest way of doing things. It's like trying to resize images in Paint.

I'm in the same boat. I have the forums open on my secondary monitor at work, which is only a 15" LCD, so I only get 1024x768.

It is more of a nuisance than anything, as I don't HAVE to scroll - it is just there.

You do too have to scroll, at least sometimes, like when a thread has a number of pages and you want to click on "Next" or the last page number or whatever.

I don't have to scroll to get to the page numbers but I can see how some people would. I'd like to see the option of jumping to the most current page rather than the first page- but I have no idea if that's possible so I'll deal with it.

Hmm....The some of the avatars do look a bit blocky. I have to draw my charecter, Gabriel, over anyway. The one I have right now looks pretty sloppy. TO PHOTOSHOP!!! I just need to check what it looks like with the oval. Oh by the way, GREAT job on the new style, it keeps alot of the forum fresh and looks just plain sexy. Good job guys. Hope you have an even better years to come. :D
