[quote who="Raven X" reply="57" id="2703949"] I don't see the problem with the Elemental site being black while the WinCustomize site is white or blue or gray or whatever. If you don't like browsing the Elemental forums then browse the WinCustomize forums, problem solves.[/quote] Unless you can do it using some URL reworking, not all the Elemental forums are visible there. [quote]So how come the GalCiv 2 forums and Sins forums aren't spammed to hell on a daily basis with co

[quote who="Raven X" reply="54" id="2703925"] I was pointing out that ALL of US should be mature enough not to down on other people because they do or don't like the new color scheme. So yeah, I expected Mature, Non-Hateful, replies...gee sorry [/quote] Sorry, but I call shennanagins. The very first thing you said was this: [quote] Man, you guys are killing me. Who gives a shit about the color[/quote] <span styl

[quote who="Raven X" reply="48" id="2703899"] Tridus...seeing as how EVERY PC put out that's running Windows is using IE by default, I'd think calling it "Obsolete" is a matter of Opinion...wouldn't you? Seriously...I thought you were more mature then this too then to jump on the hate bandwagon...[/quote] Just because something is common doesn't mean it's not technologically obsoelete. In terms of standards support and the UI, IE is absolute garbage. It's the worst browser on the

[quote who="Xiandi" reply="11" id="2703186"]I find it ironic that a game site can have a cool looking forum like that....yet the WC site gets a very plain one.[/quote] I'll trade you. The WC version is far easier on the eyes.

[quote who="Anomander" reply="38" id="2703825"] No you're saying they are, I'm saying that people who say its 'crap' are. And Headaches and physical discomfort, oh please, come on and get real....[/quote] I am being real, and I'm not the only one experiencing it. What we've got in this thread is people posting feedback and having a discussion... and you being a troll.

[quote who="GW Swicord" reply="39" id="2703836"] For those who don't like the new design, while not the same thing, you can view the page with StarDock's default theme here: https://forums.stardock.com/forum/511 I think that might be a better compromise for me than some browser add-on, but at the moment it seems to only work for Elemental General and Dev Journals. I can't get threads from the Beta, Mods, or Ideas areas to load in that view.[/quote] If you're using

[quote who="Raven X" reply="40" id="2703847"]Man, you guys are killing me. Who gives a shit about the color when most of us (using IE 7 & 8 ) CAN'T MAKE NEW POSTS. The colors are IRRELEVANT when posting functionality is Screwed!!! [/quote] Since we're in a thread dedicated specifically to the color scheme, the color scheme is in fact highly relevant. Anything else is off topic... like your posts. Hell, the color scheme problem isn't easily fixed. Your problem is: upgr

[quote who="Anomander" reply="33" id="2703742"] Quoting Tridus, reply 30 Quoting Anomander, reply 27 Cya then.... Since the whole point of a game website is to encourage people to come read and post, this is entirely the wrong attitude. Surely the point is to encourage the RIGHT type of people...[/quote] So you're saying that long time contributors like GW and Luckmann who are getting headaches from the color scheme are the "wrong" kind of people? &nbs

[quote who="Sushikawa" reply="26" id="2703633"]This is pretty bad. I'm finding it hard to focus, I've gotten a headache after reading a few threads, and the whole thing reminds me of some angsty tween's geocities or LJ account. I avoid the sins forums because of this crap Also why cant we access all of elemental's sub forums through the Impulse client? [/quote] Agreed. I thought yesterday with the brighter text it'd help, but today I'm getting a head

Multiplayer hasn't been seen since beta 2? So nobody really knows.

Just burning a DVD with the full patched game on it is easier then downloading all the patches, really. It's a one step install process (install the archive and you're done) instead of a multiple step process.

[quote who="luketan" reply="163" id="2703247"] Quoting kryo, reply 153 I'm from Singapore in Asia. Can i buy the digital download??? So long as you have a valid payment method, you can buy it anywhere. Okay let me rephrase. I can buy it anywhere, but can I use it? This impulse thing works anywhere also?[/quote] For this game it should, yeah.

To summarize: Yes, it's being released in 3 weeks. Yes, people have been bringing it up for a month or so already. No, nothing is going to change, and no, you're not alone in being concerned. We'll find out who was right in a few weeks. Until then, post some suggestions. :)

It's a bug. :) Been fixed apparently, but caching can mess with stuff. Should be back to normal tomorrow.

[quote who="kyogre12" reply="159" id="2703100"] Quoting Wizaerd, reply 158I haven't read through this entire thread, but I'm curious if Impulse will be required for Elemental In North America (Arizona), even if I purchase a retail boxed copy? I had Impulse once upon a time when I played Sins of a Solar Empire, but since then I've gotten a new machine, and I don't play Sins anymore, and dont really care to re-install it, nor do I really want to re-install Impulse... Not a big fan of

The color is better now. I'd prefer brighter still (like the quote text color), but this is readable.

[quote who="kyogre12" reply="6" id="2703058"] I actually can't see any forum other then the dev journals one from the main page for some reason. Every forum link goes to the dev journals. Using the recent threads works. Use the Flatten Forum Catergories option. Then you should be able to see the rest of the forums besides the dev journals.[/quote] I don't like using that, it makes the list far too busy and full of stuff I don't particularly want to read.

I think his point is that if you click any forum link, you get the Elemental dev journals post list. See this: https://forums.elementalgame.com/390044

I'm seeing the same thing on the Elemental forums. Every forum link goes to the dev journals. The recent posts list is the only thing that works. And "flatten forum categories" isn't workable really. It makes the Elemental forum so busy that finding the threads I want to read isn't worth the effort.

I actually can't see any forum other then the dev journals one from the main page for some reason. Every forum link goes to the dev journals. Using the recent threads works. But yes, the contrast in this scheme is too low for new posts, and especially for text.

Oh god my eyes! [e digicons]x_x[/e] Grey text on a black background is barely legible for short posts. For long posts the eye strain is so bad that I can't get through them. Please change it back.

[quote who="raduciu" reply="133" id="2702556"]Tridus dear, i am sure you want attention but please next time don't hust read and flame, how about read, think and flame? Now can you please do that? I am not the type to just quote and answer each paragraph separately so i will tell you once READ BOTH my posts and you have answers to all your flaming. And just to make it clear, you say pirating, pirating, pirating, like a broken down puppy doll. Just because you

When is the demo coming out?

[quote who="raduciu" reply="119" id="2702458"]Just passing by to protest not releasing retail in Europe. I dislike DD from both price and value perspective. I am saying it straight as it is and i know i am not the only one feeling this way. I would love to buy Elemental retail i did buy GC2 and i do buy about 7-8 games / year. if Elemental will not be available in retail i will not buy until i can find it as a box. Meanwhile i will probably use a pirated version.[/quote] It
