What do you think of SpudFiles 7.0?

Edit - BTW yes, SpudBux has been adjusted. You can no longer donate to other users.

If you have any issues with the layout, please let me know.

Edit 2 - If you don't like the new layout, you can change back to your old one in your profile.

I like it, its so much cleaner, good job!

The only thing I would change would be to have the option to have a darker colour scheme, like on gamespot.

Wooo spellcheck!!!!! lol

Right now I'm having amnesia and deja vu at the same time. I think I've forgotten this before.

Scared the fuck out of me.
I was like wtf happened to my monitor, why is spudfiles so bright. But I guess Ill get used to it.


AH I just thought of a new idea. Add a link at the top of the page that links to a list that has a lot of topics that would be good for beginners. Such as, how to's. Ignition problem, forum rules, basic stuff.

I don't like the light colour,the top of the page is good but could be better, more details/pictures. Some stuff isn't clear and it blends in with the ads. Its a bit plain/blank...maybe its the colour.
Sorry, but Im not a fan of the new layout. Maybe a slightly different colour from the old one with a few improvements and good parts of this layout would be great. Its just not as appealing to me.
Oh and its also difficult to find out what text is hyperlinked, I looked at my profile and had to hover the mouse over everything to find out what was hyperlinked.

Looking good so far but had a problem with the chat room not loading all the way, got to 78% then quit. The settings loaded fine though. The spell check is a major plus and i like the new back ground color and the controls at the bottom of the post. Now i'm gonna cruse the site some more, c-ya :iroc:

Still can't load main chat window.
Questions:
Is anybody else having this problem?
I'm wondering if it's in my settings?

Cleaner, more readable -- especially for long sessions when the low contrast blue/black would make my eyes bleed but overall a little less cool.

Still, I like it a lot for being far more functional. Keep it.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!! What happened to my favorite web site???!!!! Oh, it's supposed to be like this :oops: . I like it but its too bright. You should make more panels that blue color you used as the backround, otherwise its great :) .
EDIT: And what's with the combustion cannon next to the "SpudFiles" at the top of the page. There should be a pneumatic too :( .
