Dear mods... there seem to be at least three new site threads at the minute.... any chance of rolling them into one?
Gman
I like it a lot,and im sure that it will grow on me even more as time goes by.

To be honest Mark, I'm really surprised that some prefer the old style - even if you ignore the aesthetics and purely look at the usefullness of the changes then it's still far better.
It's faster, the alternate colours on the posts in a thread make it far easier to scan down a thread and the quoted panels stand out better. Add to that the "whos here" at the top and it's a winner.
Can't they just turn the colour down on their monitor if they want grey ? :twisted:

The new look is better.

It's going to take me a little while to get used to the new look. But I like it. It looks like an expensive pay site (err, not that I'd know what they look like) except it's all for free!
voted the old look
but still the same old pics on about sex and doggin on top of the pages on forums and that so still have to b carefull lol
its to bright the new look
i do not really like this new look bvecause of its colour and some otehr things, but hey we all have different taste. the old look was the default look for PHP BBforum board(i believe), and thats y i think its nice to have a customised skin for the our own sw forum. I was working on a skin earlier on last year if mods are interested then i woulnd not mind sharinghte skin here for forum and site. just a thought.
Well, I have cast my vote in favour of the new look.
It would be interesting to see what those who like the old look think in a few weeks' time. The new layout is definitely better and gives more space to the posts. When I first saw the colour scheme though I thought - "Ouch!" It just seemed a little too garish. Now that I have been using it for some time (I was fortunate enough to be asked to try out the beta version) I love it. I think you will find that it will grow on you too.
I've been using the beta version for a while now and I like it too. I understand about why people liked the old look, but this look is more up-to-date and I find the site very intuitive to use.
just my little opinion.
