It does bother me that the avatars are on the other side of the page. But other than that I like it better than the last, I couoldn't even see rthe sroll bar it was so dark!

Actually, I wish you could've waited for the release of a PhpBB3 upgrade for the Solaris theme.
This theme bothers me a lot, since:
- This goes extremely slow on my computer;
- The avatars are on the right and not on the left like it was before, and I liked that better;
- Same for the smilies when you post;
- I simply like dark & orange themes better;
- I've noticed this phpBB version seems to 'forget' my password even if I click the 'Remember me' button;
- It's too wide when viewed in full screen on a 1280x1024 resolution;
- It says I haven't read some topics but I have read them, there are even some very old topics marked unread;
With all these problems I did not notice any improvement, which is very bad...

I personally think that putting avatars and smilies at the right is quite nice, it does change at least! Of course, this is a temporary theme, and we'll soon get a dark Raymanish one

About the read topics, I think you should just mark them all read and no other mistake should happen. Transferring such a big forum wasn't that easy, you know

I use 1280 x 1024 and it displays just fine for me... It loads quickly on my PC.

Weird how it is slow on yours... internet connection maybe?
This will take getting use to, but I'd like for this to have a darker style soon. ^^
This is too white for me.

Personally, I prefered the other theme. This would look nice in black, but I much prefered the other.

Same with me, I find it confusing with everything on the right, but I am sure I can get used to it.

I wasn't on earlier because my connection was going crazy btw.

From what I know, they may make their own. Not too sure though.

We were going to do our own and Raymanize it, but I don't know what the plans are now.

I think we will make our own theme, or modify a dark one. However, we might have the temporary style for a while, which means it would be nice to have a new logo for it

Perhapes we have a logo contest for the new style which is to come in the future?

If someone can create a better logo than the former one, why not

I think a nice dark blue theme will work well.

ProSpace is probably the best theme for this forum made for phpBB3.
It also seems to load faster for me than the actual prosilver theme ( that's what it's called, right? ).

We could modify ProSpace in order to make it look better.
You can change the colours ( there are some colors you can't see clearly ), the background ( Solaris' background was better ), the textbox's background ( the transparent one ) ( too white ), some buttons, and some other little graphics.
And of course the logo... I think we should make a logo contest
EDIT -> How do I view my tings?

I like the color and theme, but the transparency on the posting bar makes it look bland.

Didn't notice this topic.
Anyways, maybe we should try to make a style of our own.
Perhaps like RZ, we should have buttons that includes Rayman characters.
I highly suggest a slaveship Rayman 2/Rayman M look. With a spacey backround that includes a slave ship at the top instead of a planet.
Custom made smileys that look like Rayman characters like Muppet Central.
Locked Topic Pic= Henchmen 800 head
Open Topic Pic= Rayman head
Something like that perhaps.

You know, that is a very good idea, and I approve!
