Rainmeter Forums

Ok folks...This has been in the works for some time and a handful of us finally worked it out last night...or the night before....
great thanks to Morley-Sempai and his vast forum experience
and to Kaelri for listening to us and helping us put certain things in perspective.
Shoot...a lot of this design was ironed out by them

with out further ado...we go a little someth'in like this:

Getting Started
This next set of forums addresses the first things that most members look into and immediately utilize. A lot of you are going to ask: "Why did they put Bugs and Suggestions tigether?" The easy answer is that his now reflects the Rainmeter code site; as all issues and requests are placed to the same board.

Customizing
This section is for people who've really sunk their teeth into Rainmeter. Chalk Board and Skin Beta are combined into "Skin Development". Screenshots and Skin Gallery are combined into "Share Your Creations". You will find T&T and Plugins and Addons listed here as well. Skins beta testing and Chalkboard have been combined and now happen in the same place. Shared your creation is a combination of Screenshots and skin releases.

have no worries as many of these posts have been moved to appropriate areas of teh forums. so many of your hard works are still here.

We hope by doing this we have made a friendlier and more intuitive forum, with less confusion.
Hopefully us old timers will adapt quickly and the new folks will be able to navigate with ease.

Apologies for that...I find my self a little lost at times as well...
The changes needed to be done ages ago...so hopefully not too many disgruntled people.

Thanks for the compliment

Thanks a lot for doing this, Sarge. I really love the new look and feel of the board. This is a good change. :)

Very good layout !

agreed.
i never knew wether i should post my skins in the "screenshots" or the "skin xyz" (i don't even know the name right now ) forum.
thank you for the changes.

excellent work, the forum looks great, i stared at the screen for about 1 min before i realize that i was actually where i wanted to be :P

The new layout is really good, much easier to use

One thing I would point out is that the 2 locked threads for reported bugs and feature suggestions both have the same name. Might it be a good idea to rename them to something more obvious now that they are in the same part of the forum??

I liked the simple cream of the old forum, not a big fan of the black... but its fine.

It's about 4 clicks to change back to Saphic if you want.
