i play other servers such as .uk. however when saw their forum it made not bother to go on, i actually thought child designed it. the old skins were much better, it seemed that it was more inviting onto the forum. i know you can add scripts and web addresses ingame to see maps, but i like to comment as well.
to those who said binoculars, i think you meant magnifying glass.
it would help to focus on the blurs on the maps. while binoculars are for long distance.
however on to the main subject, i only come on the forums to check if their is anything interesting or to check maps, not to see this horrible looking forum. it is worthless bring back the old one so much better. if you look back, how many negative comments did you have for the old skins. probably a minute amount, look at this most like 95% of comments on this thread are negative, this is definitely something which needs to be improved.
before it looked professional, it was well designed and easy to fine stuff, now it is basically a blurr, like many people have said "eyesore" or "crap". instead of thinking this is the best way forum, do a poll, like those for endgame or for new features in the game. let the customer choose what is best for this site.
you need to keep the customer happy other wise you will loose them and they will visit other sites. this forum isnt as active as it first was, this isnt a way of keeping people happy. maybe you want to stay in the times, for new technology.
atleast redesign the skin so it resembles the old style. also about those pictures to the side, i dont see them as i never zoom out that far. for a large part of the community it would be best to remove them they dont do anything and it makes the forum smaller, incrase the size and you will make people happy.
thanks
