New Theme

As the Secretary-General has been asking for a theme revamp for some time, and I found a theme I liked today, I have temporarily enabled a new theme for the forum, which will be your default while we test it. If you could give me feedback on it and whether you want it to stay, it'd be really helpful.

If you can't stand seeing it for one day, you can switch to the old theme down the bottom by choosing V2 (Darom's).

I agree with the desperate need for a new theme.

I Kind of really like this one in a way, but it seems to dark. I'm wondering if its a bit 'in your face' and not very Commonwealthy. Just doesn't seem right for here. But it may grow.

Either way, lets use it for a few days and then see what people think. Sometimes Themes have selling points (or hell no points) in usability too. Can give better feedback after a few days.

I'm not averse to one theme or the other, though I do prefer the warmth of the current one.

The thing I have a beef with is the new "The Commonwealth" banner in the infobox. It's not necessary as we already have the title at the top, it takes up unnecessary space, and frankly I don't find it that attractive.

it is 'reborn'.

Most people wont actually see it unless they change.

'New Commonwealth' can be very slow at times for some reason.

Might I recommend adding banner pictures to all the categories. Similar to what the Caprecia/Nysa forums have.

e.g. : Posted Image

The above is the image they have to link them to our forum. I like these images it gives a little extra something to the forum itself, instead of it being all plain jane. And this new theme could use a quick tweeks and we should be all set. Also the REborn theme makes the Cap chatbox fit in real well and so it doesn't stick out like a sore thumb.

I would also recommend an update to the actual banner at the top of the page.

Like Mestra said, it could use a few tweaks. Perhaps maybe a bit brighter ?

apparently this is causing election mayhem due to polls not working so has been put back to the original for now.
