The new look is a bit different. Not use to it yet but I liked the old look and i'm sure i'll like the new look, it's just a lot brighter so it will take some adjusting.

The errors are as follows:

Some of the background elements will scroll along with the forum page and i'm not sure of that's intended, if it is it makes it feel a bit unresponsive because of the size of the image makes it take longer to scroll. Also I can no longer Click scroll on in the middle of the page I have to do it in the margins for some reason.

Another thing is the mail icon, notification icon,  and profile icon will now automatically take you to that page but they use to have drop-down boxes. The boxes still appear but your shortly after directed to the page. This is very annoying and now I can't quickly access any new notifications and it redirects me to a new page.

Gray text on a gray background_ Fonts are thinner and with a new color tired more.

Several other connectivity, the font color of the background is difficult to read and tiring

This look bad:

Thank you to having ad block so I can disable the horrid gray pattern background and the annoying robot background.

Also breadcrumbs are broken. I go into the Beta 3 section and can't get out using breadcrumbs.

I'm linking it from here just to avoid reuploading attachments and such, but the layout problems extend to the PM system.

Also, when I hit the button to insert a URL in that above sentence, the lightbox effect (where the rest of the page dims) kicked in properly, but the actual URL box was floating between Necro and Hugs' posts -- centered on the page's height instead of the reply box.

Edit: Post #1000.

Also, if you are in, say, the PM section, clicking on the envelope icon doesn't refresh the page or take you back to the inbox, and it behaves normally. However, clicking on it from other areas will force a page change as reported.

Features in relation with profiles are going crazy at this moment .. updating profile comments also sending PMs from user name profile links do not scroll the page up.. so the winwodw is up there ( "like hidden").

Just gonna copypasta my feedback from the other thread.

Quote

Yes. I'm not very fond of this either.

My biggest gripe is that I have my Middle Mouse button set to open up a new tab when I click a link with it, but that doesn't work on the Hawken Forums links. It will work on any other website, and even on the links to other parts of the Hawken site, but not on the links of threads, sub-forums, notifications and the like.
As far as web browsing goes, this is a major pain in the rear.

For me, so far, the forums are clunkier, slower and a bit less aesthetically appealing.

EDIT: Another problem.
When I click on a notification link to go to a post of mine that someone liked or quoted, it does not actually go to the relevant post, and just loads the page normally. This mean I have to scroll through the page and manually find the post, which of course makes having a link that supposed to take you to the indicated post pointless.

I am unable to view attachments any longer (clicking just reloads the game, sometimes with the posts, sometimes not), and noscript is claiming there is a potential click jacking attempt with hidden elements when I do such things such as reply, quote, follow a thread, or like a post.

I'm also of the same opinion as AJK, the forums now feel clunkier, slower and a bit less aesthetically appealing.

For people who use adblock plus you can hide the image that's making the forums feel slow, it's the scratch and dirt details on the side of the page.

Use "easy create filter" and make sure you highlight the right thing, not my fault if you end up hiding the wrong thing :)
However i feel the problem will be fixed quickly so it may not be a problem for long.

So, I found the cause of (almost) all the forum issues having to do with the update:

The forum runs in an iframe (inline-frame) element. When you see things that are cut off, it's because the inline frame element is smaller than the actual page.

You can still browse and post on the old forum if you disable scripts and go to http://community.playhawken.com/. You won't have many of the advanced forum features, but you'll be able to open links with middle-click, post, and use your browser's back button without worrying about state-loss, slowness, or navigation bugs.

I'm hoping the crew running playhawken.com will change their approach, as the iframe concept has lots of issues that are pretty hard to work around in an efficient manner.

Here's a separate thread I created with my suggestion: community.playhawken.com/topic/11166-switch-from-client-size-reverse-proxy-to-server-side-reverse-proxy/
