Welcome to the latest redesign of ATK! Over the last few days Chazlene and I have been working flat-out to bring you a brand new look for ATKCommunity.com. It was easy to see that our old site was dating fast, and we really hope that this is what you've all been wanting!
Over the next few days/weeks we will continue to improve the site, tweaking it to make it perfect. Please let us know below if you find anything "unusual" or just want something outright changed!

That's so boring. The new background looks awesome.

Hahaha wait until chaz sees that. When we were creating the site we knew the background was quite "busy". We thought we'd put it up anyway though, as we couldn't be sure how everyone would react to such a change.
If you want something else, just show us what you're thinking of.
PS. Can I have a new sig someone?
ugh, gief old one back, oh well i will like this in the future...
Looks awesome - is there meant to be two white bars either side of the screen though? (Looks cool, but just making sure)
Also, it looks alot thinner, with this 1280x800 res it's bound to look a bit bad, I'm sure when I get my new widescreen monitor it'll look good.
Take that ya one-eyed, bomb-lobbin', cactus eatin', pot bellied, thug fat jigglin-chicken whoopin' big, back-stabbin lob-armed creepy spastic bloody, blind-eyed pashy little twitchy pickle-headed rocke- hoppin, potato-poppin' phony two-faced stealthy mutant bastard!
Just give us the option for unfixed width in the forum settings im pretty sure its there.
Fixed your sig Chalex, as soon as I can upload it I'll send it to you mate.

Lol probably should've let me do it since I have the .PSD and can just delete the background

Our gallery currently doesn't work on vBulletin 4, so I'm waiting for it to be updated. So, if someone wants to send me the image just upload it somewhere else and PM me the link. Cheers for doing that VH.
ez64, I hate to break your heart but we aren't going back to a fluid width. This is far easier to use and has been specifically designed to look nice as it is. There was far too much empty space on the old site when using a big monitor.
Finally, you'll find that when using Internet Explorer, the site isn't the fastest when scrolling. This is purely because IE sucks compared to Chrome, Opera or Firefox, where it's smooth as butter.

60% of my screen is now wasted entirely on a graphic in the background and the remaining 40% is transparent.
/agree
I think the new backgrounds fine but seriously at least half the screen has nothing on it. If you dont want to make the forum fluid size thats fine but if the option is there for users to have it enabled, I like EZ would really prefer that...
Just put opera to 200% zoom and these still space at the sides with nothing on it....
Also theres no horizontal scroll bar so if u put in a window u cant move side to side without arrow keys =/
Also its not clear enough which threads have new posts on the homepage and on the same note its not as easy to glance over the homepage and notice the different sections. Nothing particularly stands out.
Other than that its not bad tho i very much dislike having the fixed width at 768 pixels or whatever it is...
Also the shoutbox no longer supports editing which is lol.
Also when clicking the "new post" button (on a thread name on the homepage, not the new posts button at the top), if its the new post isnt on page 1 its not working.

If I included a fluid option, the background would need to change since it would be too distracting behind the text. For now, I think I'm just going to see how viable it would be to just increate the width by 60 pixels or so.
This is a bug. It came about when I set the login bar to STAY at the top of the site (and not scroll with you). I'm working on a fix.
I agree with this, and will be looking into making the thread titles stand out much more.
Our old shoutbox doesn't work with the new VB. I prefer this new version, but you can't edit inline. To edit your posts, simply go to the ChatBox Archives (it's on the dropdown).
Sorry, I don't understand what you mean. Perhaps a screenshot?
