now we're talking... Great work enigma!!!

Probably add an extended inbox limit to tf.tv plus? That would make it much more attractive.

Edit: Also loving the new overall look, Im really really loving particularly the events area on the main page, much more straightforward and you can use your timezone now! Great for euros! Thanks!

Is there any way to switch to the old theme?

Edit: Am I automatically being downvoted for not liking the new theme? I really appreciate the new PM function but the previous theme was slightly better in my opinion (color wise).

I few things I've noticed of the changes

On the front page the calendar doesn't seem to follow time order, see the UGC match coming before the ETF2L match:

Second, the spacing on the top of pages looks really odd to me. The gap between the ad and the stuff following is awkward, and it just feels like everything was thrown in there. (Edit: this picture doesn't really capture how it feels actually, in the context of the page it's odd)

Lastly, the blue bar for events stands out too much I think. The old way looked better in my opinion, as now it's just a giant blue bar (and pretty much the only solid blue piece on the website).

I dont really agree with this, I think it fits perfectly with the new theme since the main action links/buttons (as the "Post your reply" button) changed to that color. Besides its there for someone posting in a thread linked to an article to be able to notice its an article thread easier, IMO its fine.

Yeah, I definitely don't think it's awful, I just thought it was better before. No harm in putting forth more opinions to get the best product.

Also, posts on News (and possibly Events, I haven't tried it) don't show up in 'Latest Forum Activity' on your profile. To be fair, it's not technically the forums, but seeing as you've tried to integrate the two together it seems like it should show up there. I only point it out because that's how I find replies to my old posts.

Edit: I'm just gonna keep throwing out criticisms while I'm at it I guess (this is intended as constructive though, not trying to say any of this is bad, it's great). These things aren't really problems at all, but small things can go a long way to making a polished website.

  1. I find it odd that you can Block yourself
  2. When you send a message to someone who has blocked you, it tells you that they have blocked you (or you've blocked them, but it's easy to deduce which way it is). I think it should just feign sending the message, as I'm sure some people would rather have it done discreetly.

  1. I find it odd that you can Block yourself

You can also +/-frag yourself. It's odd, but it's there.

Speaking of frags, I still think they should be removed because they serve no real purpose but to discourage opinions. You could argue that they remove "I agree/disagree" and stupid comments in general, but I think TFTV would benefit if we couldn't just ignore posts based on the color of their frags. Removing colored names altogether also reduces this problem a little bit.

I would also be fine with removing post stars. There is even less meaning to them than frags.

Also, change the sidebar icons. They've looked weird since TFTV switched from the gotfrag replica theme.

when I click on a stream and watch every title/streamer's name on the sidebar changes to blue, but when I'm browsing the forums the titles and names are white not including tftv's own streaming channel
is this intentional or just a bug

This is very good. The whole process of adding someone on Steam just to ask a simple question was really bad.
