And don't forget the dirty dishwater blue being aesthetically unappealing

Two problems I've encountered with the new forum:

• URL change from shrapnelcommunity.com to shrapnelgames.com - I keep very strict security settings which includes not allowing cookies by default. The domain name change necessitated updating these, but it is an easy thing to overlook and took some time to track down.
• The Rules Acceptance page requires Javascript enabled but does not inform users of this. There should at least be a mention of this requirement since having Javascript enabled globally is risky behaviour nowadays, given the number of compromised websites around.

While there is danger in malicious javascripting, it's important to keep in mind too that much of the modern web relies upon javascripting for usability and functionality. Care must be taken to secure the site and it's code against casual and moderate attacks, yes, but to sacrifice service and quality for the name of security is madness. Most people operate at browser defaults which have moderate javascript settings enabled.
