Yes. Pretty much.
Legacy isn't broke, and doesn't need fixing. The new look will probably get a few dozen changes before we revert back again.

They're not going to revert back to Xenforo 1.5. This is not simply a change of skin.
Just to be clear, we're losing both the current themes and their colour variants, they are not compatible with Xenforo 2.0. This was all announced last month. The dark theme for 2.0 takes it's inspiration from the legacy colour scheme. The current forum software is no longer being supported, and we have to move forward for security, and we gain a lot of new features in both the front and backend with this upgrade. The team has made a lot of adjustments and changes to 2.0 during our initial internal testing, and through the beta that's been running the last month, and it will continue to change and evolve over time.
If you would like more details on 2.0, please check out the announcement thread here - https://www.resetera.com/threads/in...aintenance-will-begin-around-6-8pm-gmt.79943/

Xenforo 2.0 is incompatible with Legacy. It needs to be changed.
Has there been a poll to ask people what their preferred color scheme is? Is there a preview of 2.0 somewhere?
Edit: yes there is:

Color scheme is fine. My only issue are the enormous margins (I use a laptop).
Other than that, It looks fine to me. I am relieved. Good job team!

There has been a beta thread for like a month. And it got announced too via alerts.
You can access the beta here
https://beta.resetera.com/
you need to login to see 2.0, the default skin it shows without login is not 2.0
Thank you. Must've ignored the alerts. This should probably be in the OP.
But it does seem to support css styling according to their website, so isn't it a design choice?
they could used a very similar style to legacy era with xenforo 2.0. instead they went with something closer to how neogaf is now. it's a downgrade in design and usability.
An alternate light scheme that eliminates the bright purples and brings it closer to light legacy would be appreciated.
The bright purple is just very unpleasant and its been an issue throughout the various skin attempts.
Equating not liking a site redesign to holding the same values current GAF has... come on, dude.
The fuck is this shit?
Because we don't like the new forum update means we should go back to NeoNazigaf?

You know what would be cool? The ability to custom tag posters.
If I could tag some people with stuff like "argues in bad faith", "bad judgement", "poor taste", "low info poster", "insightful", "genuine", "drive by guy"etc. It would allow me to make better decisions on whether it's worth it to respond to people.
Unfortunately, it doesn't appear to be a feature of xenforo2. Maybe xenforo 3 will support this.

The purple that 2.0 uses is quite a bit more muted and has seen updates and changes as the team has been building and taking feedback on the new site design. We will continue to monitor that feedback after launch.
You can access the beta site right now (though keep in mind you do need to login to see the themes) or read through our announcement thread that details the changes and reasoning for this upgrade.
Same here, ESPECIALLY with a site that is this young still. Era still feels pretty 'new' to me but it's been long enough that I'm completely comfortable with everything and am in my "I don't like change" mode. To already have a revamp and be like "Let's change everything!" already just seems weird to me. I mean, is the 3.0 revamp gonna drop this time next year? Is there going to be a huge change in six months?
I find that I end up disliking almost every website revision that comes out for any site I'm on a lot, so we'll see. I feel like they nailed the placement of everything and theme already though, so I fear that the only way to go is down.
I'm scared I'm not going to browse the site as much once the update hits. Really prefer the simpler legacy themes.
I like a lot of the new features in 2.0, I just wish we didn't have to overhaul everything to get them.

The most annoying thing about these constant changes is that nobody is asking for them.
If anything, people are saying they like the site how is.
Imagine if someone kept re-modeling your living room without your consent. Phooey.
DarkERA Legacy is perfect, and I'm very upset to see it go. Screw this Web 3.0 crap or whatever.

They say the colors in the 2.0 dark theme are closer to legacy dark but they are still pretty radioactive looking. I wish they would just use the exact same colors.
I do find it a bit unsettling that admins aren't really responding to people's concerns over removing Legacy support.
Sorry, but It feels a bit like a ''You'll get what you're given, and that's that.'' situation.

Legacy Era looks much cleaner to me overall, but I guess I have to get used to it.
