[POLL] Feedback on the New Layout

Hello everyone!

Most of you have probably already seen the new layout. Shinra and I (but mostly Shinra) are still working out the kinks, so you've probably seen it go a biiit wonky.

With the notification bar:

As you can see right now, we also have vocaloid icons instead of the old star icons. What are your opinions on those? Would you like us to keep them or get rid of them so we can have the old spacing back for the threads?

Let us know your thoughts through the poll above!

Thanks,
Admin Team.

I added it back. ^^ Thanks for letting us know. I didn't actually understand what that icon was for 'cause I never noticed it. xD; I'll go back and edit it sometime to make it more aesthetically matching.

Nobody has posted in this thread in a bit, but I do have a comment about the new layout, just not the bar or the Vocaloid icons.
Would it be possible to put a spot to login on the home page again? Clicking the login button now does not add on much time, but I still really liked just being able to login as soon as I got to the website.

Thanks for the feedback!
It is gone mainly due to aesthetic reasons so it will probably stay that way unless it is a significant inconvenience. If anyone else finds it to be, please let us know and we will put it back

In the meantime, we will probably play around with it and see if there's a nice arrangement to include it in the front page.

the scrolling recent topics module... it's really hard to click on the last item in the list. once it reaches the last item, it just resets automatically. 

is there a way that we can manually scroll instead of it auto-scrolling?

Unfortunately, it doesn't give us that option. That also really annoys me. Hopefully they (the forum hosters) can fix that soon.
