The "New Forum" look is going to be "Forced" for atleast the first 24 hours.. Meaning everyone will be using it and can not be changed.. After everyone gets a chance to peak at it will will set to allow you to then manually set one board type you want, I however will recommend you use the new one "Dark Blue" for now on, as that is the one that will be updating frequently and will be our default template..

I can deal with this. It made my wife ask if I joined a new board.

Mrs. Coriolis: :27: Translation: You should get off that computer and spend some time with me!

K, going to turn the force off now so everyone will automaticly og back to the board style that they had selected before.. If you want to go back to the new one.. Go to your profile and select "dark blue" under the board style section

We have now added the Menu Bar from the dark blue template into the fiplain template, so you are now able to access every page from the fiplain template as well..

But I do still reccomend the dark blue ;-)

Now after going home to view the new look on my home PC, it looks much different. I do like the new format of the home page and the accessibility of the whole site. The colors, I can get used to.
I know alot of hard work went into it,and it is appreciated. You guys make this place rock. All three of ya., Oh! yeah, and all the moderators too.

I'm sticking with the old, but only because it is less noticeable to nosey co-workers and I can read it easier. I find the text gets lost in the colors sometimes.

Any way to just leave the reply boxes white so we can see our messages clearer before we send? That's probably my only concern.

The post boxes are now white with Black Text so it is MUCH easier to read and see the cursor now :-)
