    I personally do, however that's time permitting as there are many other things on my plate, currently. (And yeah, the forum is using the color scheme of our very first site, still... it never even made it to the parchment style, haha.)

    Correct. To be precise, it's a modified wordpress with a 100% custom template.

    Django frameworks would have been cooler ;)
    But the new design looks good, keep up the good work.

    I am in 100% agreement with this statement. Especially the part about the color scheme, in this capacity I preferred the old website. Other than that, great work!

    Also, as others have stated, it is not optimized for mobile. At least not yet on my Samsung Galaxy S8 Plus.

    Zooming in on iPhone safari browser does not work well with the menu bar. So if you want to see the individual items on a drop down of the right side of menu bar you cannot access it.

    "Hi, my name is Elwyn, and I don't like night-mode web pages."

    Time to get cracking on CSS overrides for more than just the forums now. I'm still annoyed that I never figured out how to override it on this damn message entry text area. Gray on gray sucks, and it's almost impossible to see my mouse cursor when I want to select something. It's also a pain when people use color text instead of clicking on that "B" button, but I understand.

    Like the look, but as Lord Andernut states, not working well on my iPhone with zooming in.

    Also, what about the livestream stretch goal tracker? I didn’t see the current status to see how much we have so far towards the next goal achievement.

    Since this is being watched I'll just delete the new post I put this in and paste it here:


    Love it, much easier on the eyes.

    But now several of the ads near the top are jarringly cluttered (not as noticably shocking before, but still too much even then).

    • Dyes, my God so much colors and squares! Simplify!
    • Viking bundles, not as bad but in reality those pictures aren't doing a lot of good anyway, other than the first, because there is just too much visual information with text written on top
    • Signed box, too too much! Colors and pictures and lines!
    • Play for Free, just about perfect!
    • Rewards Program, maybe more perfect that Play for Free!
    Overall I'm in on the new website, but those ads really jumped out and punched me in the face, legacy from the previous one.

    I like a lot about it but agree with Vladamir that the ads look a bit cluttered and bunched together. For example set up a bit more like this. Game pictures would be nice like a couple of nice screenshots. Those ads while I understand we are crowd funded are just not telling the Sota story. That should be the first thing potential players notice. Instead oooooooh ads. The ads could be along the bottom not on top of each other. But the game should be the feature and the reason to play. That it needs funding is not the reason to play for most players. If they love the game and love the assets that can be added to the game that would come next. Like I played Everquest 2 a little while before buying a special mount from the add-on store/cash-shop from them. But it was because I liked the game enough at that point. So just some thoughts and pictures ;)

    Just went to the new site.
    The Store (Add-Ons) tab in Chrome is not loading correctly.
    It freezes at the top and just sticks almost every time.
    Can not scroll down the page etc.
    After a few minutes it says the site is unresponsive and should it wait or close.
    The other tabs work.

    In Firefox, it seems to work

    Yeah, seeing multiple reports on this issue - thanks for reporting and also confirming that it seems to be Chrome, only. I need to check this ASAP, not sure yet what's up. Only seems to happen with certain Chrome versions. Which one are you on? Thanks

    @tphilipp Here's Chrome on Android when logged out, looks good once logged in.

    The changes to the site look great. I'm going to say tho, that I hate the current trend of websites only using a box 1000px wide in the middle of the monitor. Its a waste of space on a 1920x1080, much less on a 4K screen.

    Looks like I'm going to need to do my own CSS override. For anyone else, setting .site to width: and max-width: 90%, and .site-content to width: calc(90% - 281px) looks really good on my 4k. The banners dont scale but everything else is good.
