Alright, so this update really isn't that important and you guys pretty much know half the stuff, i just figured that since the board had to go offline for a little you might as well know why. As you most likely noticed (although maybe not, since they're similar), i changed the main theme! This one has a bit more contrast (you're welcome, Insert), so things should be a bit easier for you to read. Also, the green is slightly closer to the sprite sheet background color. Overall, i feel like the layout for this themed is slightly more compact and organized, especially when it comes to the top menu bar. Oh, and another thing that i like is that links in posts aren't that weird font anymore. IF YOU DON'T LIKE THIS NEW THEME AND PREFER THE OLD ONE, you can change back. Go to the bottom of the page, and in the theme selector, choose G.L.O. This is the theme you're used to. If you do that and for some reason it doesn't stay that way, then i'm pretty sure you have to choose it somewhere in your preferences. If you do like the new theme, then i'm glad ![]() Also, you guys already knew this, but i've changed around a few of the buttons already. Some of the ones in the top bar were blue, so i simply changed their hue to green to match the theme. Also, the active users icon and the board stats icon have been changed to fit the Halo Sprites theme. Also fitting to the theme are the sprites of Cortana for Board Preferences and Master Chief for User Preferences, both in your Preferences (top bar, once again). And of course, who could forget the new master chief head emoticon! Simply type : mc : without the spaces and there he is!Now, don't be concerned about all the rest of the buttons and the banner at the top. These will be fixed shortly. Just be patient, as good things come to those who wait. EDIT: Also, i've added an "XBL Gamertag" profile field, which is now displayed under all your usual info to the left of every post. So, everyone go edit their profile and add their gamertag! But also feel free to post it in the Post Your Gamertag topic! Tell me how all of this makes you feel below! -AUREL1EN Edited by AUREL1EN, Nov 8 2011, 01:32 AM.

We still need to design our own skin in order to properly make an awesome forum. But all in due time, it is only like what the second week of the forums existence I like the gamertag thing by the way, keep it under the postcount. Edited by Araden64, Nov 8 2011, 11:19 AM.

technically it hasn't even been a week yet haha. The forum was started last thursday, so this thursday will mark one week. As for making our own custom theme, right now i'm just focusing on making all of the buttons and whatnot match the current theme. Personally, i'm no good at creating themes and would have absolutely no idea how to, although if i did make one it would be pretty similar to this, as this is exactly what i was going for. Maybe further down the road we'll have our own custom theme like we used to, but not quite yet. and yeah A51, no worries about that. The Community Update is weekly, and i'll post one of these updates every single time i make a decent and noteworthy update to the forums. In other words, if i add another emoticon i won't make an update about it, but if i add a new forum, i'll make an update about it and also mention the new emoticon (just like i did this time). Stuff like that. And insert, as much as i'd like to go find another theme and dish it out, i think this is already enough

sure, go for it! Just try to make it fit the whole "Halo Sprites" theme, like the green background and stuff like that. And i mean, even if it's not super fantastic, we can always just use it as an option, and maybe not the default skin. But sure, feel free to give it a shot! just know you'd have to know all the crazy weird coding business
