Hey boys and girls,

I was on vacation but now I'm back.
But that doesn't matter. What does matter is the majeover of the forum.
I must say this is a lot better and I really like it. :)

Well Done :!:

I agree, looking good. I just wish the reviews would not start with a paragraph that had something to do with the review.

Are you talking about the forum review posts or the reviews?

If you are talking about the reviews in general then you'll never see that change.
I refuse to allow the Legion to be like every other review site out there. You know those who have no clue on how to write an introduction and no matter what Cooler Master review or ASUS review and so on, the first paragraph is the same, a copied about the manufacturer statement. How original. Or maybe the sites who basically paste (plagiarizer) reviews by pasting so much content from the manufacturers site that you can't figure out what they wrote or the manufacturer did. Or maybe writing about the product and then using the famous -- So lets see how it did, or how will it test or even lets take it for a spin.

Bob if that's what you want I am sure you can find it every where else. I also feel you came here for a reason and that was for a change from what everyone else does.

If your gripe is about how we post it in the forums then I think we could change that and use our last paragraph instead of the first.

I agree with Bob's observation. The forum post (and any teaser post) should have the third paragraph shown, rather than the first. Since the intro contains no relevant information on the product, it will be less likely to draw them in and in some cases may well confuse them.

If I were to add another style one that mimics the main site who would like to see that?

I added a style called Ximenia.
It is the Forum Match for the front page.
Still not bridged but on the bottom there will be links to the main site and some reviews.
On this forum (Ximenia) I can set the width to fluid, which means that it will span 98% of your screen.
Fluid = adapting.

Based on feedback I can do it.
