Yeah, that's a good point as well...

The new look is nice and fresh.

The font is a tad large though. Easy on the eyes, but means a lot more scrolling.

Hi Everyone,

Glad you like the update! I like it too. It fits the clean look of a "dojo" and matches the website, so it flows. I've asked the designer to see if she can add in some graphics and shrink the text size. I'd love the Usagi banner in the top somewhere, so we'll see.

As for the admin login option, I don't know what happened so I asked her what is going on with that.

We also are moving forward with some very promising projects. One of them is the Chibi Usagi doll! Stan and my Mom are making character designs, so please look forward to that. The hat is looking awesome as well! Stan drew a specific design for it and it looks great. There is quite a bit more to be announced but I'll save it for down the line.

Oh yeah, if you haven't picked up your copy of Saga 6, I have some available on the website. I'll talk to Stan about doing an early TPB version as well.

Anyway, please enjoy the new look of the forum!

Never thought I'd say this, but I guess it's time to start a doll collection! :lol:

No one has ever called my action figures dolls before, but if they did... they would face the justice of the Lobster's claw! :wink:

Definitely looking forward to the Usagi Chibi doll!

By the way, it's been a few days since I dropped in. The new look is definitely a step in the right direction!

Font size seems much more reasonable now! I hope it's still big enough for mobile users, though.

Font in the forum listings seems better, but the font size used when viewing threads still seems too large for me.

That's a LOT better now, thank you for whoever has made the changes :)

Just one more tweak needed, the font size used when quoting is still the same ratio as before, and hasn't been reduced in the same way as normal post text. Maybe it's a separate variable? See screenshot: http://i136.photobucket.com/albums/q167 ... id3wuv.png

Otherwise, it all balances up well on my browser here :)

On mobile (iPhone 6 plus) in landscape view is perfect. Portrait isn't scaled as well but fully acceptable. Thank you! Peace, maka

I'm not sure about on your iPhone, but a quick double tap in portrait scales the page to fit my screen.

The Usagi graphic in the forum banner is *carrying* a banner. Clever. :P

Looking great! I love the idea of the Dojo and the Dojo Annex actually looking like sister sites :D
