Ok, I see the Halo3 Forum banner has been updated. But who does a site build in the middle of the day?

...And overall, it looks pretty busy, in my opinion.



well, Bungie has a busy community ;)

But not for the sake of change, is there anyone here who goes to any forum and doesn't know where the stickies usually are? They're always on the very first page.


I think those will now be "pinned topics"

What they're called in just semantics. Every forum I've ever been to has the Faqs and Topics of Concern above the first posts for easy reading. Having them follow you through every page is a waste of space. I've posted enough here to pretty much have them memorized and I don't need them wasting screen space on every page I go to. If they were just on the topic page that would be one thing but why are they inside the topic or even worse why are they shown when replying?

Also, why add more page weight when it's not needed.

I wonder if there is a Teabaging Medal?


If there were, it would be called "TESTOCULAR!"

i found it!
you have to click the arrow at the top right of each person's post...It's kind of annoying though, nobody will even look at the sig now.

Have you read the thread, yes I do. First off why would you put a button to review the poster's information on the complete opposite side of the posters name or pic? Again the quoting box keeps disappearing in posts. The mouse wheel can no longer be held down to move topics up or down within the topic. You have to click on the side to get that functionality. And having the pinned topics shown inside of the thread and inside of the reply screen is an unneeded increase in page weight. The topics look clustered by having the o/p's name in the same color right below it and the font of the topics should be bold or at least cleared to the eye with their choice of background colors. And I can go on.

well, if my text signature is yanked here at Bnet, atleast I don't have to worry about my picture signature over at This Spartan Life. I doubt Fyb3r's going to yank our sig ability anytime soon

the scroll button seems to be a problem on your end. I can scroll up and down just fine with the wheel or by clicking the wheel in. I also have Firefox, so I don't know if you're using something else that is preventing you from doing that. But i do agree, everything seems kind of cluttered. Especially on the main forum, theres like 1000 words on the screen that all look the same.

I like the changes, but I agree that the stickies/pinned topics don't need to follow you through all the threads you look at. It looks much better on the forum index though.

for me, it's sort of like a handy toolbox of possibly useful links & stuff

way too cramped under were you click to go to the topic you have about 5 different info stuff there and its hard to take in. but i like how you have stickys on the side but i wish you could also put stickys in the main list of topics, that is the hole point of stickies to keep it bumped at the top!!!

Hmm, I'm just using IE but when I hold down the wheel I can't go up or down unless I go outside of the topic area. Do you have the problem with the quote boxes disappearing? If it is just a browser issue they should have tested that.

And like I said wasted space

  • 01.30.2008 1:25 PM PDT

while I don't Threeshots dislike of you personally, I disagree. It looks bad once you get past all the stickies and theres just a grey bar of wasted space for 3/4 of the page. It should be moved somewhere else or just left in the index.

Suck up much? There's only one toolbox around here and it's not to the right...

my quote box works fine, try upgrading your IE or downloading Firefox.
