This is very nice. Much better than current, so far.
Does this mean you're sticking with SMF?
Ohh fancy ;D
-Love the index, it looks really clean compared to how it is currently.
-Love the look of that search bar and how prominent it is, hopefully it works haha
A few questions:
- There’s 3 different shades of blue on the forum index and the thread is orange- Is the colour scheme round here going to be changing?
- Is the banner at the top with the logo and notes/articles/videos/ etc staying? (Perhaps updating to K8’s new logo?) Or is there going to be a different way to get to those pages?
-The quote in that thread doesn’t appear to have a hyperlink to link it back the post, is there still a way to get back to that post from the quote?
-Is the ‘alert’ thing at the bottom of the thread what’s appearing in ‘watching’ under user controls or is it something else?
Edit: Also is chat going to be a thing again?
Edit2: Also I love the user control section on the side.
In regards to the quick reply screenshot in the opening post, it would be nice to keep the Preview button. I don't know if it's just me, but I like to proof-read my posts before I hit send, especially if they include any different fonts, colours and such.
I think this will take some time to get used to but I really like it!! ;D
With the inside a sub forum picture theres two different notify buttons, is there a difference between those?
Has AN considered having a casual chat box?Expanding on this, will IRC still exist? I noticed there's both a 'chat' and 'messages' icon in the screenshot. IRC is kind of obsolete now (although it has much nostalgic value), so could we potentially replace the IRC with this chat box?
Has AN considered having a casual chat box?On top of this, an odd reward for getting different post amounts?
Maybe something that requires x amount of posts to use?
1. Yep, probably! What do you think of those colours?1. I think I would prefer less shades. Like one colour for most things and then one colour for things to stand out (like how the favourite threads are a lighter blue) rather than different shades of blue for every different thing. I think I like the orange on the threads, it's makes it seem way brighter although it'll take a bit to get used to.
4. Honestly couldn't tell you with absolute certainty on this one. I think the buttons might need a bit of fine-tuning.
What is the "Watching" thingy for? same as Notify?

Looks great and so much more intuitive!
Is there going to be a quick reply button located somewhere on a post or is the orange reply button at the top right corner of the thread the one that's for doing quick replies?

Also, the colour scheme is varying the blue; it's lighter for the sub-forums - I like the current uniform blue. Why not experiment with a cool palette, saving the yellow and brighter colours for notifications and the like? (Just personal opinion)
kind of reminds me of the medstudentonline format but more colourful. Why stick with blue, btw? Is it because blue is associated with learning?
On other forums, "Watching" is sort of like a "Favourites" option, where you can "watch" a thread and then have easy access to it subsequently.YES! This is what I need!! Easy access to the emoji dictionary!! :D
