I worked on our Lich King layout tonight and want to know if you guys can come across any bugs... unfinished stuff or whatever lack of polish I missed. I need to upload a few more images so they don't look out of place, this I know.

Also, any suggestions to making it easier on the eyes (if it isn't already) would be good to do as well.

Oh, to access it, in your bottom left, from the drop down choose "Insomnia Wrath Theme".

Oh my, I like it so far - much cleaner. Perhaps a bit too blue, though. Certainly loads way better on my phone!

Will keep testing and will post notes here, in edits.

- Also, having a "Reply" button and a "quote" button is some what clarifying considering before we had a "quote" button and a "+quote" button, which made no sense to me.

- Ah, quote boxes being white really clashes with the rest of the theme. See my quote of you.

- Posted Image this image for a hot topic doesn't match with the theme - needs a blue background instead of white.

- Did you change titles by post count? I don't remember seeing "Tactician Extraordinaire" as my title before.

1 - This text is somewhat hard to read. Perhaps something lighter for the names (ties directly into 2)
2 - It's the color of the user ranks. Administrator is fine since it's green, but the others are too dark (wow inso, wow officer, etc)
3 - The background around the blue square does not match the background of the theme. My eye for colors is insane.
4 - The background around the folder is not the same color as the forum's background.
5 - Same thing as 4 for all of them.
6 - Center this image :D
7 - Very black and very large text :x

I can fix 3, 4, and 5 if you send me the file :P

Sacc, some of us have special titles that some officer gave us on the forums. See: Mine

I'm going to fix the smilies to not have the white background, as well as give you all those old ones we had (like the suicide one).

"top" and "report" buttons in the lower left corner of each post need fixing as well.

I suggest against using all caps in the buttons.

Also, I suggest using a solid color for the reply input box (#07354b is probably good or #062c3f if you want to go the darker route)

Oh and one more thing, the button I originally mocked for ya had a 1 pixel transparent space on each side.

since we are in the mood of testing this theme, i started clicking on things i have never clicked, like the Calendar link at the top of the page. this leads to a fairly bad looking color scheme. it's probably not even a priority but i'm just putting it out there.

I changed the color titles for WoW Insomnia and WoW officer to the ones that warhammer was using. Those colors were better anyways and seem to look nice on this layout.

In making this reply I used the Fast Reply button and notice a few problems, the text boss I'm typing in is the same color as the background which makes it look a little off. Then the text next to the checkboxes below the text box is also set wrong.

The "Class: ______" part needs to be centered/bold on the user info part of each post.
