The title says all,
Which one you liked the most?
I want to know what all Ragezone users been thinking after the big change.
New RaGEZONE? or Old RaGEZONE? (Vbulletin 4)
for me I like the old one.
because its neat and clean.
Vote the poll & reply with the reason like
Code:Version:New/OLD RaGEZONE
Reason:Because its neat and clean!
No idea.. vb 3.8 wasn't too bad. This style needs some work and extra few plugins.. should be good to go.
Both are fine, this will just take a bit to get used to
vb4 is great, just need a better skin.
this one looks quite nice
Yeah, I think Light blue on Vb 4 will make look a lot better.
I think the styling is not yet done, so it's not fair to judge now.
Reason for both.
Old:
- Old's default font was smaller at threads
- Old wasn't so "colorful" and it was good for eyes
- Old has been "too long" that it's normal when you come into RZ and you see same style here
New:
- It's great to see something new
- It's good to be updated with VBulletin
- This is good at its own style
This new one is awesome! The security is improved, and I think the whole feel of the forum has updated bringing a fresher feel :)
I like the old because I am used to it,but this one ins't bad at all ;)
New one. Will take some getting use to, but definitely the new one. Good choice Dan!
Though no rep bars now?
There is no doubt most of you are used to the old RageZone , but fact is both are the same software , except this one is newer and better. It's like you would make a poll on Windows Xp and Windows 7 , after you got 8 years of experience with Windows Xp.
There is a few things I would change on the template though , including centering the avatars , cause mine is kind of to the Left.
Also the old template most probably wasn't compatible with this version , that's why he changed.
He's still busy setting it up, guessing he went to sleep, so good chance that with the second round of updates that it will be done.Quote:

I have to zoom out to even be able to stand this skin. :/
That's pretty much the exact reason I want the old skin back, doesn't fit right on my screen and feels weird.Quote:

vb4 is so much better, just need to get used to it :P
The "new" ragezone isn't finished yet.
It's ok I guess, I never like changes so that's why I voted the old ragezone :) The skin itself it's nice, but if I had to choose between old ragezone (which I've been used to) I would definitely bring the old one back
The old some sucked, but this one is just as bad. Poorly arranged, ugly colors, everything in boxes with borders, transitions and curved borders everywhere, avatar align, unnecessarily huge header part, small padding, way too small fonts and big ass icons on the main page... and that red? In combination with that greenish header background.. bleh. This skin is soo sooooo outdated.
Hope it's not the final one.
I like this one better, as Becca said it has improved security, not to mention that I hated with the old forum that when you typed in the quick-reply box and thought you had typed loads, you had typed hardly anything because the quick-reply box wasn't as big as how big it is when the posts are posted. (If you get what I mean, if you don't then I don't blame you, it's a hard thing to understand, not to mention that I can't put words together since I'm so tired) But yes, either way I liked vBulletin 3.8 and I like vBulletin 4.
The theme isn't that bad imo, once he has time to customize what he needs to then it'll all look well, I'm only assuming. So on the topic of this vs that, I'll have to say that I'm a fan of this theme, over the previous one.
There's just one handy dandy plugin that I'm missing so badly right now =[

I don't really like this theme and because of that old ragezone was 100x better :D
As MentaL said, the style/theme needs to be fixed, so I think this may be a temporary one.
Had the same thought. But nah, we'll get used to it and i'm sure MentaL will sort things out soon. I'm waiting for the updates :)Quote:

"designers", I have yet to meet a single proffesional one..Quote:

Version:New RaGEZONE
Reason:We're no longer running ancient software.
The site has been much faster since the update. :P
Personally I prefer the old skin only because I saw it every day. But I should adapt to this new one :)
Well there we have it. As MentaL said, this wil be the default theme but he said that more will be available to choose from the bottom of the forum, so we should all be sorted.
It's too early to judge. Dan and the team need to do a lot more before the upgrade is complete. Therefore, any judgements you have now don't really matter!
i like the new skin pretty much just that horrible red line makes me puke :-( change to blue or green and pow an epic skin xD
I share your opinion! :)Quote:

Hey man, go down to the bottom of the page and go to the drop down menu. Then go to RaGEZONE - Fixed (B) and then the bars should be blue :)Quote:

New one. This skin is much cleaner and easier on the eyes.
I'm beginning to like the new version and theme too. I wasn't too sure with the red bars going along so I went down to the bottom of the page, discovered that the theme choosing drop-down box was added and chose the blue one, now I'm starting to like it.Quote:

Regardless, i'm not fond of the forum skin, other than that it's cool. vb4 is quite stable (I still prefer the older versions because of the lack of exploits)
Believe it or not, their security has been dropping lol.
I'm pretty sure it'd be fine if he shrunk the width of the skin (I believe this can be done through Style Options and Main Style Options or something similar) and added the login bar back to the side of the forums plus the advertisements and raffles and so forth (side-blocks) it should be better and easier for the eyes. I'd still like a new skin choice though :T
@subline
The current blue on white is a lot easier on the eyes than burning red and white, but you're right, its still baaaad. :p

Ones that probably look alot more professional in the sense and what not , but i'm guessing that this is a temporary skin and they probably have plans to program their own.
I'm okay with both both of the themes.
And hoping for a plug-in games and a new set of smilies for this new theme.
All of the smilies are basically the same on every version.Quote:

The old skin needs bringing back. Originality is the best way to go.
Just a matter of converting it over to vB4.Quote:

I would also change the link colors in threads. They look exactly the same as the whole thread so most of the times it's confusing.
What happen to jhewt and our custom skin makers, a while back before. Anyways, this skin isn't too bad.. just needs some getting use to.
i like both of them :S but i think the new one is better because the user friendly message system , usercp can be manage more easily ;).
New One FTW!
zoom template is good but animated arena template is very good to look at
off topic: hey try check this out Awesome Template they have awesome template if you need to used it i have the template file
Who worked on this skin? It's boss, nice one :) I can enjoy RaGEZONE again, yay.
New skin looks very nice.
Goin with the new one altho I like both the old one and this one.
Voted for NEW, it's pretty sick than the old one though ^^
I don't know why but I do prefer the new style, hmm.
thats not an outerworld topic -.- Suggestions - The Front Desk - RaGEZONE forums
well, i like both, i like the new features, but i want to be able to get the old skin at least. dang.
You should add an Option to be able to Choose the Old or New Theme.
Like at the bottom of the Forum Homepage so you can select Mobile Default or the Old skin.
I prefer the old one, I'm not a person who adapts to change easily LOL
it's like with faceboook...just hope I don't get timeline! because I haven't clicked the 'change to timeline' button yet
Hell yes, Satellite is the shit..Quote:

One thing i don't like , when editing you must add/edit at least 5 characters, so if I make some spelling errors , I can't edit.
Skin made by completevb. I think Dan should hire someone for that money to make a special RageZone skin that can't be purchased , that way no other forum can "copy" RageZone.Quote:

I remember seeing RZ using Satellite on that time website, it looked epic imo.
New ragezone.
I like the style, better than the previous 1.
I didn't mind the other and I don't mind this one. I just think that we needed a change from the old theme.Quote:

From my perspective they each have thier Ups & Downs. The prior webdesign had refected a soft friendly feeling with the baby blue colors and light texturing. This new forum design is smooth, sleek and (Up with the times) in a design sence. This type of aspect will be pushed through on many of the everyday websites we visit due to new demand. Yes this is a sudden change, but just think about the change prior to the last one? We learn to like it or even "Deal with it" over time.
