I like the new shout box. Like it's been stated before this is more organized and easier for you to find whatever you want. The only letdown is that it takes double the space it took before.

Not that we can't scroll down, but how about an option to hide a certain shout box? For instance if I don't feel like reading the contests announcements I simply hide it like I hide the side menu. Just make sure that the important announcments are in some kind of place that can't be hidden away so no one misses them.

Awesome-tacular! Definitely more organized and easier to navigate at first glance when separated like that.

it is a little hard to read so you could add som icons or some thing to make it more easy to read. And fixing som collors so it will be more easy to keep your eyes on it.

Change to the default theme >.>
I agree, the bg looks plain with it. Haven't checked the other themes yet.

Btw, you can hide the whole shoutbox, if you just want to browse the forum.

its definatly a lot neater and easier to read, but as a few people have already said, it just looks a bit plain.

also, maybe centering it would look better, as it just seems a bit uneven with it being left aligned

This is more organized, but it could be bigger and more eye-catching.

Nice change, again, its much more organized and easier to navigate. As suggestions go, I agree with ibra87 in that you should add the option to hide certain boxes. Also, they could be a little closer together, so the section isn't as large. Either way, I quite like the change.

It's better, since cleaner & clearly organized. The Meerkat approves.

One might play with the padding/margin. Especially the gap between the upper and lower boxes could be smaller.

I think that it's way better, yet I see room for improvement. Now as it is it's much easier to see the interesting category, be it raws or scans or art contest. What I think is little inconvinient (yet it it nothing of major matter) is the fact that it's not very easy to find given series at first glance. Maybe some kind of colour or font distincition would help. Either that or changing the box into table with distinct cells one for each realease. It would be small but signifficant change.

Yeah, i have to agree, I like the new format. MUCH easier to see exactly what's out and what's not yet... also giving the coloring contest notifications a seperate section is good too cuz those tended to blend in with everything else, leaving me a lil confused and having to look a bit closer and see what's actually out... Much easier to just "look and go" since i'm usually pretty busy like all the time...

Well I voted for better but maybe improvements. Which? I can't say, I am not a forum/pc noob. But it's practical and better (thus meaning that in this way I like it too)

Finally, some clarity and readability in the shoutbox. Thank you. The previous one was a mess.
