Any chance the search can be moved down to the lower bar? It would give the entire top of the page a single clean look.
You should also be able to set the color of the "Search..." placeholder text to something darker to make it stand out more.
Yeah I was thinking that, and I actually tried it, but I found that the search bar didn't stand out that way, while its a very useful tool really. Metrics also show that people used Google way more often to search something on our site, instead of using the forum's search. This lead me to believe that most people don't know there is such a search bar on the site.
Intentional to have the I and L look so similar or?
Maybe I just made a typo and those are two i's?
Typography isn't yet fully to my taste, so it will change.
The "Help" section could use a "Are You Whitelisted But Cannot Connect" Thread like the old one, just to avoid an overflow of posts
There now is a thread that I will update for frequently encountered problems, and there is a thread for the whitelist problems too.
