Totally disoriented..

OK, did the appearance of the forum change like ....10 minutes ago? I switched pages and "WHAM!" ...different...or is my mind leaving and it's been this way for 3 weeks and I'm just noticing? either way, I like it!

Yup, it changed mid-refresh for me. I'm not liking it so much, but I know it is a work in progress.

One major issue: light-blue type on a white background is nearly impossible to read! See this example.

Fixed it, thanks for the heads-up

I also noticed that the lettering is not black...

Yeah, I think it will be worked out. Just give it some time.

I miss the tartan background, but I'll give it a chance to grow on me.

Yeah, I liked the tartan background. But, let's give this a shot. It is a bit sudden, though!

Actually, there has been a thread on this subject. I think you just missed it.

Yep, that upgrade happened with a jolt. Something to get used to. So far, so good. Love the banner

Holy moley! I thought I'd hit a funky button by accident, and I've been trying to get back to "my" Xmarks. I've been trying to figureout what I did thinking that I'd inadvertently changed the view settings or something.

I guess it's just gone.

At my age, I don't like change. I guess it'll grow on me. But then so does athlete's foot, and it's a fungus!

At 100% view, the top banner runs off the right hand side of the page. And I notice that that V-Bulltin thing is gone from the top of the page.

All this change is so distressing! I better go take a nap.

Yeah, I just saw it. I must have missed that thread yesterday. I like the look, even the moving of the tartan to the title boxes. I think that maybe a different background color might be in order.
