Oh, and they added the Isolation screenshots to the screenshots section. Still no Elite Renders. :(

We’re looking back laughing because they called us crazy, but we took that chance on that feeling, living for the moment, we were spinning in. Maybe we were a lot of things, but we weren't crazy.

The only thing I don't really like is that I no longer have that "My groups" link up in the corner there.
I have to click on "My Profile" then go to the groups page :/ But that's okay XD
My fingers getting extra exercise so I don't care lol.
It's not that that bothers me, it's just loading an extra page that sucks. I have high speed internet, but I'm sharing it with a zillion other people here in college so yeah XD!

"Cotton thwaps him with the Gravity Hammer, Frankie flies through the air, blood splattering from his corpse, his head snapping back on the ceiling, leaving a bloody imprint on a light fixture and then his body skitters into a gravity lift and is boosted up into the Yellow room."
i love Bungie.

There are quite a few glitches...when you view a message in the message box, it's below all of your messages instead of beside them. Also, it always shows a question mark on 'Friends Online' and 'New Messages'. And when I click on the 'Halo 2' thing, it says I have no games played. WTF?

I don't like the forum layout. With the huge black line across the date and time place. Looks out of place.


Agreed. It feels unnecessary, and too dark.

I'm using a widescreen resolution, but does anyone else find the "reply" and "message" links all screwed up with regard to positioning? It's probably temporary...

Well, keep in mind that it's probably not all completely finished.

As for the friend's list, it's doing that for me too. Just needs some maintenance ^.^

It's a little awkward, being repositioned, but it's fine with me.

Like I said before, it's way too early to be testing any of the functionality/features of the update. It's all coming on line, but it isn't finished. They're just being super-smooth about how they do their work and leaving most of the site up for us to use while they do their work.

Is that what others see, or just me?

EDIT: Fixed! Just CTRL+F5 if you get the same thing.

I'm on a 1440x900 resolution with no problems. Seems like you're the victim of a bug.

They changed the title of this news item to "Reboot complete"

Thanks Zag. You get a free kill against me online for that.

Taxes do nothing to affect the share of wealth, since taxes are only applied to income.

So that's not even a part of the conversation at all, so it's pointless talking about it....

"for a "best" moral to exist, there must exist the "best" moral base. If the base of morality varies from location to location, culture to culture...then there can't be an absolute moral..

i know that this is in the wrong forum, but could you mods who are on widescreen monitors tell me how halo 2 looks when you connect your 360 to the monitor? i want to buy a widescreen monitor, but all new widescreens have an aspect ratio of 16:10, and i will only get one if i can use letterbox (i do not want the image stretched and mangled just so that it occupies the whole screen).

as for the new look of the site, i liked it so much after the last change that this is not much of an improvement. but, i have not seen all of the new features involving game stats, so i am waiting eagerly to check that out.

  • 09.19.2007 10:51 AM PDT

Navigation seems alot harder now. You can't get to the Halo 2 forum, or any of the older forums with a single click. You can't get to your groups with a single click. The reply buttons are way to close to the post below it IMO.
I do like the tab options found in your profile.

I think that we might see some tweaks.

For example, I wouldn't mind a couple more pixels between the bottom line of the previous post and the top of this one. As it is, it looks like those links (reply, message, edit) are for the post below, not the post above.


Except reply, message, and edit have always been for the post above. No reason to think they are for the post below, save for the unnecessary black line.

I don't get that, but the Reply and Message User text look a tad too close to the user's profile. I preferd the old icon/picture reply buttons.

I find the New look somewhat nice.
However as some have said...The black bars between posts now makes the fourms feel akward.

That and the thread's subject looks like it mixes in with the forum's jpg.

The black bars Give a nice seperation between posts in my opinion, not to mention it seems easier to navigate.
