You mean on these forums? Because I can't find it...

I'm loving the results. :D And this open source project, it sounds interesting even though you haven't said anything about it. :P

I've actually been wanting an ATI card lately with the nice looking developments in their area and the seemingly matured open source driver. I'm stuck with an nVidia 8600 GT right now, so you can't get much worse. :| But I had absolutely no problems with the driver; Two click install and haven't thought about it since.

Realized also that we need a front-page forum login box. Would be the best feature possible, since these forums do not have it. Also a logout button at the bottom of pages/the forum navigation bar again at the bottom would be very useful as well.
I agree about logging in on the index- But the navigation bar at the bottom of the page is very subsilver and I don't like that.

I'm jealous, i have a strange attraction with windows 7 for some strange reason.
That'll be the desktop effects. They're irresistible on any operating system.

I'm really looking forward to Karmic; 24 hours is an eternity. That about switching to 64-bit: My only reason for staying with 32-bit is really flash player. Although there is Gnash, it's nowhere near as good and even Adobe's flash player for Linux is indeed poorly put together. Just yesterday I found a site whose flash did not work on Ubuntu (Jaunty), my brother was using it on Windows and it worked fine. Adobe has so far failed to impress me with their operating system support in general.
The UI of Windows 7 is pretty much what KDE4.3 is. Looking at a screencast of 7 reminded me of all kinds of desktop effects that KDE already has and the few that were original will be duplicated very, very soon. Intuitive but easy to cross-implement.
This made an interesting read, I'm not too interested in people's RS blogs. :P

Dark is good. If possible, removing the header sections or collapsing them to like 5px height would be great. Also if possible, if you could drag the headers to organize your forum in the order that you read them (repositionable forum headers, I don't think that was really clear).
Otherwise I have no thoughts besides the fact that it better look sweet in the Firefox Night Launch theme.
Also if you get around to it, a proper mobile skin would be awesome, I don't know if there's a way you could make it so it automatically chooses that skin if it senses you're on a mobile device but that would be perfect.
IPB is designed to sense mobile browsers and automatically switch to Lo-fi, but apparently it doesn't always work now does it. :razz: I had thought of making the tabs at the top sortable and being able to collapse forums into a much shorter height, but I hadn't thought of being able to sort forums, that's a great idea. It could be difficult to implement, but it's worth it if I can do it IMO.

I really think we should stick to something similar to what we had on the old forum - basically matching the site. I'd really like to see a lot of blue :P
And I love how deflection is "so 2006" XD
The truth is, it is very 2006. Apple had even more design influence than it does now back then, and take a look at their site as it looked in 2006. Lately, a very sensible design mode has started to go a lot towards smooth, or even almost grungy design which works very well and doesn't look half as cheesy (Although I admit that Apple managed to pull the glossy look off better than about 95% of anyone else who tried).
As for TIFBlack, I think it's about time to move on and do something new. This theme will be dark, but it might not be the TIFBlack you remember, and I plan to not even reuse the name.

I'd like to hear what people have to say about the Deflection skin, what they like/don't like in the comments on my blog[/shameless advertisement].
I agree it's an OK skin for now, but in the long run I would go crazy.

The three lines for tabs are probably because of your small screen resolution, I'm guessing. I could probably make the ability to delete tabs, although that's starting to get pretty advanced.
