Project "ATS Dark Matter" -- The Evolution Continues...

SkepticOverlord- please please please please please have polls on the new website!!! Polls everywhere so that a person can vote once on any issue, idea, or problem. Polls are great please integrate them into the new layout!!!!

The "New Posts" page looks amazing.

As for threads looking broken... that's what SO said... some stuff will look funny in the middle of the changes. No worries. It'll be up fully soon I'm sure!

Looks great so far. Only thing ive noticed and it may already being fixed is that links in posts and sigs have changed color and are difficult to see.
But i love Black.......

Wow, the site looks great so far. Can't wait until it's finished.

The New Post section looks perfect.

Whauw, now the buttons are turning dark, what a nice font for text on'em.

I think it's all gonna turn black.

Never more wear sunglases when on ATS *Boardland* I luvit.

Looookin good guys.

Except the text is black on black. Or is that just me?

But nooooo really.

Lookin good can't wait!

EDIT: Ok .. some pages.. the text is black, some grey, some white.. that is normal right??

I see a message board and I want to turn it black
No colors anymore, I want them to be black
I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head until my darkness goes
I see a line of threads and theyre all painted black
With flowers and my love both never to come back
I see people turn their heads and quickly look away
Like a new born baby it just happens evry day
I look inside myself and see my heart is black
I see a message board and it has been painted black
Maybe then Ill fade away and not have to face the facts
Its not easy facin up when your whole world is black

No more will my green sea go turn a deeper blue
I could not foresee this thing happening to you
If I look hard enough into the setting sun
My love will laugh with me before the mornin comes

I see a message board and I want it painted black
No colors anymore I want them to turn black
I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head until my darkness goes
Hmm, hmm, hmm,...
I wanna see it painted, painted black
Black as night, black as coal
I wanna see the sun blotted out from the sky
I wanna see it painted, painted, painted, painted black
Yeah!

Looks tight, keep it going.

I don't like the black background so far, but if the font color changes, then I guess it will be okay. Right now, it's very hard to read without my glasses on, and the blue and red font's look 3 D on the main page. Some of the changes are cool though.

If it stays this way, I guess i'll have to put my glasses on

So far so good, but I have to admit that I was a bit confused and freaked out when I logged on, things just were not the same but I am getting used to the new look already!!

Wait, is this a government conspiracy to get us used to the idea of alien discussion boards by slowly getting us used to the idea???

I hope you all get the joke here! Peace, Mondo

I already like the heck out of it --Awesome, Skeptic!!

Very powerful, all that black. Has that final-say, authoritative look, like an expensive black suit, after the English empire got rid of color.

And over the next few weeks, new features and services will be added that extends the core discussion board into something completely different... something for which we do not yet have a name. Some of the new features will include:
- Integrated social networking
- Advanced personal podcast feed management
- Advanced conspiracy master post management
- New search and research tools
- New content categories

So hang on... ATS is evolving yet again.

My learning curve hurts.

I hate it. It doesn't center or stretch to fit the screen(1440 x 900).

This is a very big change. I withhold all opinions until it is completed.

As for right now, I see a ton that I like. But I can see several members having problems with the transition stage.

Hey Skeptic,
The text appers too dull now. Change the font color to this chartreuse #7FFF00, and the text will shine.

I use it on my own blog. If you wanna see have a look.

Just about done for this evening... here's where we stand...

Thread Pages --> colors complete, some layout complaints
New Posts --> transition nearly complete, some tweaks needed
Forum Pages --> transition complete

For a kick, check out this new feature:

20 most recent full posts in the forum group: conspiracy theory

Tomorrow we'll get the new header/buttons, home page, and a few other items in the "Dark Matter" design.

If you encounter any layout problems, please either post the screen shots here (as a link please) or send them to me via U2U.

Thanks.

OOoo

Skeptic I like the top 20 that shows the first post!

That way you don't waste time on post with nothing interesting to say, you can skim through all of em in a quick scroll! Righteous

Not to be outdone Westy has gone black, how do you like the new avatar? BTW Skeptic, what about that Aircraft Projects issue I asked about earlier?

Nevermind, looks nice.

It's on the home-page screen shot... blue folders.

I think it's neat, it's just I think I'm the last person in North America to complete a BA on a typewriter.

West Point, I dare you to wear that to Afghanistan.
