I like the new redesign. About time really hehe. I wonder if we're going to get any other presents anytime soon?
Oh, and smilies are broken.
I fixed the smile here you just saw though.
The new concept art also looks awesome.
People were predicting how many years it would take to get the website back up, so I'm happy that you did it within 2-3 days. After the last time..., our standards of what to expect have gone down, and now you've totally redeemed yourself! Give yourself a pat on the back <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile-fix.gif" />.
Love the new layout, and colour scheme.
Goodjob UnknownWorlds, you seem alot more professional now in my eyes,
look forward to more ns2 updates.

anyway its good to see you actually work ;d
Some buttons/icons are still showing up as the default blue (and ugly) IPB images, like:
p_mq_add.gif
p_quote.gif
p_up.gif
p_report.gif
t_qr.gif
t_reply.gif
t_new.gif
pip.gif
And the following images really should be in keeping with the orange colour scheme as well:

And please tone down the brightness of the colours on the posting toolbar and when you hit 'Edit' on a post.
P.S. I love the way you're supporting community projects like nsRadio in the front page banner, it's the perfect way to endorse community participation. <i>Very</i> good move.
I posted my constructive criticism <a href="http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=102365" target="_blank">here</a> - hope it helps. Any questions just PM me, I am totally familiar with IPB v2.3, front and backends.

I replied in the other thread as well, but it should be working now. Sorry for that oversight.
VIVA NS!
This has not been enabled yet. It should require no input from the viewers, and will appear automatically when you select the forums he mentioned.
Search-input borks in Safari. Probably because of the browser's default margins/padding. I'd suggest using either <a href="http://meyerweb.com/eric/thoughts/2007/05/01/reset-reloaded" target="_blank">Erik Meyer's Reset Rules</a>, or the not quite as good * { margin: 0; padding: 0; } rule to remedy this.
The (default?) blue add reply buttons clash awfully.
Still no quick reply feature?
PS: you need to change reply, quote buttons to match site style imho.
PPS: works perfectly in Safari 2 & 3.
CONGRATULATIONS! Keep rocking guys!
Lies, the search is off in Safari 3 beta 2 on windows. Not in the forum view but all other pages.
1) Banner showing small adverts for products your customers are interested in! Awesome!
1a) This banner also show community products & services, holy awesome sauce!
2) Navigating to the forums (or just about any other area for the latest info on NS2 development) just got a whole lot easier, which considering which part of the development this is in, is it extremely cool for the possibility of enticing new customers into the fold of fanatic fans!
3) The multiple websites, especially the core Unknown Worlds sites, offers a very professional flavor, to the point where I recall the ease at which I had using the Bioware site for searching out the nuggets of gaming goodness. Sweet!
Hopefully, for the developers, this site is very easy to use and maintain. I would like the thought that the site causes few concerns and that instead focus is on development of your products as the site fascilitates that instead of taking time away from it.

the pages design and stuff is really nice. only a few small things do not fit with the "global design" (yet). like some bright blue graphics within the orange ns(1) forum
im kinda impressed that it looks <i>this</i> good - and only(!!) took you 2 days to get it up!! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile-fix.gif" /> im really looking forward for ns2 and hope you'll get it as soon and as nice as this design
And blue/grey/black is an excellent colour scheme.
You're right sorry i didn't get it! Indeed now i am at home and i noticed this and i logged in to say that. The only thing i see, as reported, not in forum pages, search bar is half covered. I noticed here at home on Safari 2, but if coris say that it see that on Safari on Windows (only beta 3 available) for sure i didn't nocited at work. My fault, sorry.
PS: also attachments option, here below when posting a message has the two buttons half covered.
Nice work guys! I can now go back to being addicted to reading peoples ideas and wondering what will happen in NS2!
Can't wait for NS2! Hopefully the constellation program will include NS2.. maybe I'll have to donate. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin-fix.gif" />
