Woah.
Might want to fix that. ;) The forums aren't looking too happy.
EDIT: Actually, a nice Ctrl+F5 fixed me up. Don't you web designers just love caching?
Liking the new nav bar.

A lot of things are looking very iffy, the forums especially! The new look is definitely thinner and all. Not sure I like it more, hard to tell when it's all buggy. But I do like the buttons on the right side.
...When they, y'know. Work. ;)
Aye :) We've got some cool stuff coming up soon and needed the extra 80 pixels of vertical space. Also, that thing has been too big for a while now anyway.

Ouch, burn. Its not too hideously buggy, at least not once you clear your cache. The fancy rollovers on the 3 buttons probably aren't going to work on the forums, but they should work elsewhere.

I like the rollover buttons.

Ooh! The forums are definitely looking better now, even if the buttons aren't doing that swooshy thing. At least it's not saying YOU HAVE ZERO ITEMS IN YOUR CART! whenever I enter the forums, even when I and the rest of the site know perfectly well that I *do* have items there.

I'd say the site is lookin' pretty snazzy.;)
Everything's working fine for me.

Oh, nevermind. It is saying that, through the icon not having exclamation marks over it.
The forum is pretty much unaware that the rest of the site exists, I guess. =p

vBulletin is pretty dominating once you're on one of its pages, so it's hard to integrate sometimes :)
I like the different greetings. :D
Hello there
Salutations

Heh... I believe the greetings are length-based, so short usernames get long greetings and vice versa.

How about Howdy-ho? :)

I get:
"Hey", "It's", and "Sup", it seems.
"It's, Rather Dashing!" does look a bit odd grammar wise. I think. But I'll take it, just 'cause the site seems so happy to see me.
Heh, there shouldn't be a comma there, clearly.

Oohh.. so that's why I was getting that bug on the top of the screen (CTRL+F5 fixed it as a previous poster suggested).
Looks nice :)

Hi, Guybrush Threepwoo
Well, thank you! My eyes are going to have to get adjusted to the menu bar being smaller.

It certainly makes the site look more stylish and sexy. Kudos to Tobacco!

That would be Jake and Mike actually. I've been working on billing system bugs all day :)

Oh! Well that billing system helps a lot as well... :D
Thank you Jake and Mike!

The site talking to me kind of creeps me out.
Especially the "Howdy-ho"
I am in total bitch mode today and I got a Nanu-Nanu Mel, which totally cracked me up. :D

I wondered what this thread was about... I had noticed nothing different... then BAM, smaller nav-bar up top. I thought I had accidentally ctrl-scrolled or something.
Looks great guys. And yes, most of the bugs do disappear upon subsequent refreshes. Marvelous!
the new layout is great...i wouldn't call it a redesign. what bothers me a bit is, that the telltale logo is now rather small. this is quite unusual these days.
furthermore, i absolutely like how the website greets me now, most of the times even in an appropriate way. greetings, salutations...a little hail and praise might not hurt as well. how does the page know me, does is judge my posts? pretty aweome. it knows i'm not some internet punk, since i never get a "'sup" or anything.:D

Logo, navbar and buttons all look nice. I was freaking out for a while because I couldn't use the buttons. Ctrl+F5 fixed me up.

Someone, help.I can't log out.
As in, you can't find the log out button, or clicking "log out" is just not doing anything?

I think I know what he's talking about. What works for me is to click on the little gear icon (settings), and then on the settings page (or any other page on the site, really), hover over the icon again to access the log out feature. The forum/site integration is a bit buggy, I guess (no offense).

I know it is... if you include our Javascript libraries, it breaks vBulletin :(
