Trailer Park Boys ~ One of the best Canadian made comedies ever.

The new site looks great, but I'm concerned about one particular thing.

When choosing a custom background for your Bungie.net player hub, most of them are Halo related and only 2 Marathon pictures. I find it frustrating with the lack of Oni, Myth, and Marathon pictures available.

Will there be more in store for the future?

If you don't got it, you want it. If you got it, you want more of it. Of course if you don't know what it is, it's hard to get any in the first place.

I over all think it's great. I question if the Message user button is too close to the reply button, but so far so good.

HOWEVER my one major complaint is that in the "Partners and Fansites" section, Project Magma is not listed under the Myth section. Considering that they've been the one's who have been making all the engine upgrades to Myth 2, as well as making plugins that push those upgrades to the limit. They definitely deserve a spot on the list.

When I said sigs now I meant where they should be. Now where they are.

Hey, I just noticed... I can't seem to find the text markup tags. I know most of them but not everyone will know them.

The sigs are definitely worse now, but I like the custom profile backgrounds.

I have returned from the Untamed Lands. MOAP is dead.

* The pages take a while to load. Not ridiculously slow, but it's slow. 2-3 seconds. This is both on Firefox and IE7 and the problem is not my connection.

* Replying is a bit buggy. I can type a whole sentence, lift my hands off the keyboard, and watch the text magically appear.

* When I want to go back to the forum after viewing a topic, my cursor sometimes goes up to far and I click on MY STATS accidentally. This is of course my own fault but it's annoying especially when the page is taking long to load.

* I wanted to proofread after writing this so I hit the preview bu... text and was surprised to find myself in the Underground. Apparently I was making a new topic instead of replying to a thread in the Septagon.

There's hardly any information on the Myth and Marathon pages. A little confusing, as half of the page is blank.

Its not really a complaint, but I'd like to see more backgrounds for our profile page. Non-video game ones would be cool (i.e. a beach, forest, etc.)

Might I also add, the Oni page is missing tons of the old "Game Art" (or whatever it was called..) I have a few of the images on my computer.. I'm glad I grabbed them before they dissapeared.

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

I agree. the Flamethrower gave us identity. now all we have is a screenshot of a guy thats shooting at a mouse.

And I liked the sigs at the bottom of posts also. It gave us character. but now, most of them will go unread because people like me are too lazy to move our cursor over the avatars.

I've been navigating around this site all day long, and some pages are still taking minutes to load. I'm on a broadband office connection.

* The pages take a while to load. Not ridiculously slow, but it's slow. 2-3 seconds. This is both on Firefox and IE7 and the problem is not my connection.

I actually found them much faster, and had no trouble loading them at all. And even the best connections slow at times, depending on trafic in the area, trafic through you provider, available PC time and such.

* Replying is a bit buggy. I can type a whole sentence, lift my hands off the keyboard, and watch the text magically appear.
That dosen't have to do with the site, that is either your computer or browser running slow.

* When I want to go back to the forum after viewing a topic, my cursor sometimes goes up to far and I click on MY STATS accidentally. This is of course my own fault but it's annoying especially when the page is taking long to load.
I do find it annoying how close those links are to the navigatin menu. With the way the menu is set up that is rather annoying. You bring up a good point, and I think they should look into it.

* I wanted to proofread after writing this so I hit the preview bu... text and was surprised to find myself in the Underground. Apparently I was making a new topic instead of replying to a thread in the Septagon.
Either you screwed up or there was a bug. If it was I bug I cannot explain it.

Problem occurs in Firefox only.

It was just a bug. Nothing big.

It makes perfect sense, considering that the character limit counts non-visible text (link link urls).

So we're given 500 characters for a sig, but you cut half of it off?!?!

What The Hell?!?!!?

That makes NO sense at ALL!

Yeah, sure.... that seems sensible.

There's no graphic/button for the New Topic, Reply, Quote, Message, Cancel, Preview, Submit, ect. functions on the site. It may just be me, but they're harder to pick out now that they blend in with the blue color scheme so well. I've already accidentally hit the wrong button several times now.

I hate how links that you've clicked on already show up as the same coler as ones you haven't. How am I supposed to know which topics I've posted in already!!????!!

Bring back the graphicals for "reply" "bookmark" "new topic" etc. It looks a little dull with out it.
Also, what happened to signatures? Is it still in the process of being implemented?
And how do I edit my profile?

I miss the headline on my profile

The old quote, reply, cancel, preview, and submit buttons. I'm worried I may never see unleashe ninja's again.

The old aesthetic quality, every post here looks bunched up.
