Yes. I can take a look at changing star colors. :)

Liking the new icons based on the game buttons :) They're much cleaner.

One question Is it possible to *EASILY* change the color of the "new posts" yellow star to red, blue or something that stands out better against the icon, or is that set-in-stone by the forum software? By easily I mean "click a button in the backend of the forum platform." Yellow on yellowish-gold color is hard to pick out easily.

Im not sure what it is doing, but every time i make a post, it automatically centers the text when i start typing, and when I post, it adds some random line of broken code below it.  (see below)

The "social" buttons Twitter, Facebook and Google+ were causing some issues with page load performance due to these third party sites not always responding in a timely manner, so these are added post load. 

The background issue seems to be a browser bug with the fixed position and a script applied background - so we have added this back into normal flow, which resolves it.

We can certainly make tweaks as needed (and are still doing so) but going back to black wouldn't really be in line with the new look. The black was a carryover from the very first website and game UI which is not in use anymore. 

Hope that helps.

I strongly recommend that the forums return to their original colour and format! Angry

Thanks, TC.

Beri, are you referring to tearing? (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screen_tearing)

This is something older machines will do if they aren't using hardware compositing to render web pages which are rendered inefficiently.  I get it too in Firefox with my secondary monitor, but not in Chrome (the difference being that Chrome doesn't do smooth scrolling) or on my primary monitor (the secondary suffers from performance stutter when it is turned sideways as now).

YAY!!!  *high fives whoever anchored the background so it doesn't scroll with the text*

Now do that for the Illy homepage as well (^_^)

Same for me, except oddly on the index page.

EDIT: It literally stopped as soon as I posted this.  Points for timing. 

EDIT 2:  And started up right after the first edit.  I'm pretty sure it's just screwing with me now.

It now does a weird 'banding' effect, like it's copying and pasting over itself, whenever I scroll up and down.

Edit: Only seems to do it once inside individual threads, not when on a main board page, and not when on the Edit Post page. Perhaps due to the length of the thread pages?

Good idea and done.
