It's been more than 24 hours now, and I hope that all of you have been accustomed to the new forum design. We did have complaints during the first few hours but we hope we have remedied those problems already. So guys, how are you liking the new design? All the credit by the way goes to royG of our forum, who tirelessly designed it for us and did most, if not all, of the work. A special shout-out goes to Pinoyfootball.com and Craig Burrows as well for the photos we used in this project. And of course, rebel2fate for designing our splendid new logo. The new logo and design are all just the first few steps to the future. The project the staff have in mind is an even bigger, more ambitious one that will benefit the group in the long-run. As you have all noticed, we have also taken a shift from just posting Azkals-related news to all-around Philippine football news. Hence the logo doesn't have an "askal" on it. Let me know what you guys think. Comments and suggestions will be greatly appreciated and I'm sure RoyG also would like to hear what everyone has to say.

Thanks to all that made it happen. Kudos to all of you!! Yes, I'm the one who probably was clamoring the most about the 'dark' new site but I've adjusted mine, using the old UF skin. The site looks 'busier' but more professional. Still too dark for my taste but I'm learning to adjust.
I'm glad you guys took off that slogan about 'bandwagoneers' it made the place look elitist and would scare away new fans.
Can you guys adjust some of the colors on the left side of the screen. The links to the sub menus? Its light grey and the background is dark grey. Still too hard to see sometimes. Otherwise, thanks again and great job.

The dark, edgy look will take some getting used to but if the direction towards a more "hardcore" site then it gets me up. The black and yellow motif with the distressed skidmarks coupled with the "where the bandwagonners are silenced" tag leads towards this conclusion, right? Oh, wiking, but that "bandwagonners" tag is just brilliant! Bandwagoners don't call themselves bandwagonners anyway and they're silent only if they choose to remain silent but c'mon, the topics here are open to EVERYONE! (It's the "TAKE THE LOVE THERMOMETER TEST" and "maze/puzzle" adverts that kinda kill it. This ad is just so out of place in such a badass design! But then i guess there's nothing you can do about that! Hehehe!)

Great work to this new look! It might take longer to get used to but it worked well. The caveat of this layout is that images might not load well on slow Internet connections (like mine, I use a Smart BRO stick most of the time over a choppy signal) and the layout's messy on some browsers I use (Chromium and Opera over Linux OS). The layout also doesn't look good on mobile, as I also use my phone. I hope it could be addressed.

as i had mentioned months ago, the new logo stands out and would look best if the webpage background would be black using white text
the only comment that doesnt pleases my eye is this yellow stripe which overlaps on some of the smaller texts...kinda confusing and difficult to read
seeing it makes me think about a children school bus or a pedestrian road markings, but thats me.
other than that, im happy,,,glare to my eyes is much lesser, compared when the old background was still in place

Nice upgrade. I prefer using the old skin though. The black background is actually cool but I have trouble navigating with it, so I need to use the old white background. Otherwise, great job guys!

My eyes are still on the process of adjusting. Home graphics are cool! just need to address the alignment, i'm not sure if its only on my computer that they are staggered. Overall i like it! Thanks for the hard work!

Nice. I see the direction you guys are going, its ok, but it could still use some tweaking. Looks a little dirty to me. It actually feels like a gaming forum instead of a footballing one though, just my two cents. I prefer more sleek and organized layouts that have lots of space and good contrast that makes for good reading with catchy accents here and there though.
Banner image is pretty cool though. Could use a better font though.

it looks too dark and too busy for me. maybe green text over black background will be better

Thanks for your honest and wonderful feedback's.
We hope that all of you have been accustomed to the new forum design. The color scheme of the forum is entirely based on our logo colors and we shifted out from the Azkals color. But if your taste still prefers the old skin format you could always go to your profile and modify the skin and select "OLD UF".
The alignments and images are already optimized and tested on several web browsers (IE, google chrome, opera, firefox, safari) and Iphone mobile. We will still try to reduce more the file sizes of the images to accommodate slow connections.
We appreciate your comments and suggestions, keep it coming so we could improve our beloved forum.
Cheers!
