hmmm, I'll go with useless, it doesn't even show the poll.

It just seems like since the site always had a dark theme default, it would make sense to include a working usable full featured dark theme available at launch, IF it were not going to be the default.

This was the very first post I looked at under the new theme. I was distracted!!! Besides, I don't fill out enough online polls to have the whole circles for a single choice, boxes for multiple choices ingrained in my brain yet (although this'll help :p).

I my mind minimalistic theme and this new theme are "crap" because they require too much vertical scrolling. Space is wasted between each message. In this thread I can see 3 messages at once in 1600x1200 screen. With old Mobile theme I could probably have seen the whole thread at once with a tablet. Both themes could be probably made better with only minor changes.

Well, I actually like the colors (I mean, black on white is the best combination for text), and, now that I know how to find the new posts, I'm fine with that.
What I don't like (as others have said) is the wasted space everywhere.
I'd get rid of the right column altogether (and relocate the menu at the top, so that I can scroll it into oblivion when I don't need it).

I agree, but this is something that can be easily tweaked, and doesn't instantly make the layout "crap". Try to stick to being constructive here and we can all come out the other end with a layout most everybody is happy with.

I used the word "crap" because penguinbait used the expression in a post which supported with thanks and I wanted to explain my view better. And my post was constructive.

COME BACK TO THE DARK SIDE!!!!!!!!!!!!

There was a reason more people went to ITT, than went to maemo.org

I believe most of those reasons had nothing to do with color or format. :cool:

BTW where can I find these numbers to support your statement... I always believed that to be so and could have used these numbers to support many of my past opinions on where efforts could be more productively spent for the good of our community. :eek:

Sorry just adding a word to your mouth, you seemed to have missed one....

I think this is just a matter of getting used to, but I don't like the disconnected or separated posts. I wish it were all connected with a slightly different even/odd color

I know when I would go to maemo.org, I would find it very difficult to use, and not intuitive at all.

So I did not often go to Maemo.org (notice capitalization for GA's benefit)

So I used that statistic to extrapolate that many more people went to ITT than went to Maemo.org. After all, If I don't go there why would anyone??

Yes, I know very scientific. Bet you 1 dollar I am right :D
