When I see a deleted user's old post, it has the option to private message them. Clicking on it brings you to an error plage, but still, you might want to mend that. Doesn't matter all that much, but it might confuse those new to the site.

Hey Tom, why dont you delete all toics that are ancient because they are taking up space that could be used when Halo 3 comes out. and it would help out the 56k users out there.

あんたばか?

My biggest complaint is that the advent of the Newer Hotness hasn't made the peons any smarter.

Is it just me or do the navigation arrows at the top and bottom of the page look a little cut off? Are the designed like that? Because it looks bad.

And bring back the original forum banner for the Maw please. This new one is pug ugly.

Are you using FireFox? It does that for me, too.

You people have just sent my sides into orbit. A bunch of MLG try hards sucking the dick of some supposed pro half the thread hasn't even heard of. Classic.

It does it in FireFox but if you use the IE Tab it comes up normal.

Can someone please make a thread with instructions on how to use the site. ie: Where are my settings? Where's my sig? Why can't I see my group? All these questions should be answered in a stickie.

I don't mind it at all.

Cant say i like this White as hell text box though... Any white pages hurt my eyes. Love the black & Blue look of New Hawtness.

I already shot an email to bnetbugs but I'll post here for some more effectiveness. :p

One thing though has hampered me--is it fully compatible with Safari and/or Webkit browsers?

One thing that I've noticed is that the right hand on the player stats page labeled "Player Hub" is pretty much incompatible and greyed out when I'm browsing with Safari. I then tested it with Camino/Firefox to see that it works perfectly fine there.

I can't access any of the items on the hub: profile customization, message center, etc.

Other than that, everything else has been swell.

Here are my "Complaints":

There is no [hr] feature. I loved that thing.
* No nice looking bullets.
And.. I wish I could get another line or two of 'viewing space' on my signature.. It cuts off the bottom.

I miss the last "new hawtness" already. It looks so ordinary now. I liked the smooth, rounded look it had. And this text box hurts my eyes.

Edit: I also liked the forum post instructions for posting links and formating text that used to be at the bottom right.

2nd Edit: Salmon text mod posts? Salmon? Please tell me that a quick CSS edit could change that. Maybe light blue instead?

I can't load the site on my PSP internet browser.

  • 03.20.2007 11:55 AM PDT

Take all of my posts seriously.

I don't like this new layout. I thought it was easier to use when it had that little bar at the bottom of the page so you didn't have to be constantly scrolling up to go somewhere else on the site. I also think the new site looks too boring and generic, it doesn't even look like the website for Halo.

Plus, I miss my sig being at the bottom of my posts...a lot.

Exactly, no one can see "Gaglionestein" at the bottom of my sig. Only me and Ninjamonkey14 knows who it is, but I still want other people to see it!

As a Squirrel Ninja I do hereby promise to uphold our traditions, beliefs, and secrets, to recruit and induct Squirrel Ninjas who represent our ideals with pride, and to defend our traditions at all costs to myself with no exception. As a Squirrel Ninja I promise this until I die, or can’t physically or mentally uphold the ways of the Squirrel Ninja.

I have 3 major complaints.

1. Sigs moved so they are no longer meaningful. Sigs were one thing that allowed me to quickly identify a person.
2. Website is too wide. I have to scroll just to see a full post.
3. Don't enjoy the new layout of everything. It's just too different from the old new hawtness.

I like the upgraded functions, but does everything need to be so boxy and squarish?

At least the bungie store has a resemblance of the old new hawtness. Not a lot, but it's there.

If you invite me to your group you will be blocked.

I don't like the way the quotes work, I miss the sigs at the bottom of the posts, and the reply window doesn't feel right.

I don't really like the colors, I was happy with the blue theme.

PS. Did I mention I don't like the quotes? They don't look good on the page.

Well back in my day...
Oh hell, never mind. It's awesome and I never complain. /s
I love that it's darker and hawter.

The ninjas scare me less now though, is that orange/pink or what ?
That would be my complaint, "back in my day" they struck fear in the hearts of men,
now they just look a little girly.
Why not blood red ? Oh well.

See what I mean about the quote? You can't even see the top of the quote box.

If they fix the quotes and bring back the sigs this site would be bangin'! But now, they just suck-i-fied it.....

  • 03.20.2007 12:38 PM PDT

I'll be on my own side.

Not really complaints so much as suggestions...

- The text box! IT BURNS. TOO BRIGHT. Why not have it black with grey text like the posts?

-At first, I couldn't tell the difference between quotes and the actual post, then I noticed the thin white line. Maybe have the quote box a dark grey? Something that stands out against the black, but still keeps in sync with the color palette.

-What happened to buttons for posting? Simple buttons can't take too much to load.

-When you scroll through avatars and themes, it takes forever! Maybe, instead of pressing the scroll button, you can simply jump to the page that the avatar is on? Numbered pages instead of those little lines. I see this becoming more and more a necessity than a suggestion as the number of avatars grows.

-The friends list page is odd. Is that still under construction? It's just a block of text.

That's all, really. Everything else is great.

"I have no words that would do justice to the atrocities you commit to the English language, as well as your continued assaults on the concepts of basic literacy and logical reasoning."

I disagree. The navigation is in a different place (you don't have right navigation, but you can still get to any forum just by using the forum drop down). The help text needs work (which is why the markup is probably missing). And you still only have 10000 characters for typing because it is the same underlying forum software for the most part, and 10000 is plenty.

Oh, and your sig is limited to a specific pixel height - a lot of the longer ones will need to be edited.

But it's not cleaner. In my opinion this is a bit more jumbled then the old-New-Hawtness was. Everything is just...I dunno, it's weird. I liked being able to simply click on the Forum on the right to get where I wanted to go. And where are those helpful instructions for text mark-up? And whyh do we still only have 10000 characters for typing?

And I just noticed that my sig has been cut off making my final little quote look pretty stupid.
