The site now takes about 15 or 16 seconds to load a new page on my computer instead of the 5 or 6 it used to take, which has increased the amount of time it takes me to browse the forums. It's pretty, but if given the choice I'd rather get more reading done on a plainer site.

Reason: more accurate loading time...takes longer than I had originally thought!

I don't want this to be seen as a Luddite comment at all and this is made in all seriousness. I find the print really hard to read at the moment. With the old print I could, just, write a post without my glasses and just read what was written without glasses. Now for some reason I can't write or read the posts at all without my glasses.Just thought you would like to know and if something could be done, I for one would be grateful.

There is change just for the sake of change, and that's what this seems to be. The plain, ugly background leaves me feeling cold. You've managed to turn something quite unique into something that looks like a thousand other forums.

It should be an option if the admins have installed optional skins, but I don't seem to see a user panel for it.

I'm trying to get used to the new look (threw me off a little even though I knew it was coming... you know what I mean, almost felt lost like "wait, where do I find this link again?" sort of thing). Anyway, aside from having a little trouble reading the text, I've also noticed that on the right side where our User CP box is, I think our names used to be linked to our profile. I know I can access it by using the Quick Links drop down menu, but I like to have that easier link to click especially when I'm using my iPhone and need to get to my profile.
I've been checking the site out here and there on my laptop (Firefox) as well as my iPhone (Safari) and so far those are the only two biggies that are throwing me off the most (the text and the name/profile link). I'm sure the site is still being worked on here and there, so I won't really post too much unless I see a big error. I noticed one error earlier, but it seems to be corrected now.
I kind of miss the old look, but I'm willing to see how this one works out of course.

it was in setting and options part at the base.
most forums have dozens of skins and ive always been one for making a skin that's suits me rather than a basic skin that everyone's stuck with with my experience with forums most you can alter the writing background colours and tool bar options
i think folk should remember its not the pixels that make a forum what it is ....its the people in the forum that make it worth coming back too time and time again
