I kind-of like it, so far, and once I adjust, I'll probably approve...

I'm becoming an "old fart", set in my ways, and it takes me a bit to adjust to change. :lol:

Besides appearance, what are the differences from the previous revision?
Just from a glance there seems to be more usable icons present.

I explored the "user control panel", and there is a new line for "allow avatars", but no place to submit an image... I'm told that's in the works.

I'm not sure how useful the "font color" chart will be to me... I either use black ink, or blue ink, depending on what pen I pick up...

Like anything in life, it takes a bit of getting use to it.

I was used to the old way, I'll get used to this way pretty quick. Can you make beginning of post appear when passing mouse pointer over 'title'?? That would be nice. -c-

This reminds me of Ebay - you get used to where everything is & then they go & change it - why? - did'nt see anything wrong with how it woz before ! I'm sure I'll get used to it like everyone else - but for those members like myself that are old (ish) & hate change for the sake of it - call us grumpy if you like - but the next time your in the office & think " I got a great idea to improve this" - don't! remember when Coke tried to change it's taste so it woz more like Pepsi - enough said !!!!!

I like it, better than the blue one. This one seems less cluttered.

Interesting.

I found the default "black-and-white" to be rather harsh. I switched mine to the blue, because I just don't notice it as much.

Yellow? I've been trying to like the new look but it seems more like a product label than a forum. A little too sterile for my preference. After welding aluminum all day, I find myself straining to see it.

I like the graphics on top, the guy holding the torch. Who did that?

I switched to the blue, also. A little bit easier on the eyes.

Whatever used to be the spam filter must be broken down.

This past week has been terrible with the spam.

At my suggestion, "Captcha" was added to the "join" page.

That was apparently a mistake, as it seems "Captcha" has been hacked. The spam went up significantly right after.

I've let the admins know. While I've not heard back, it seems at first glance steps have been taken since I didn't spend my first 15 minutes this afternoon cleaning turds from our yard. Unless that was you, Mick...
