I don't like the color schemes whatsoever. That was one of the major reasons that made this board unique from the others. I used to have mine dark, now it's all white and bright, can't stand it. Won't be coming here much anymore.

Like so many othres I fvcking hate this crap. I couldn't even get the forums page to load for two days and then I was assaulted by such horrendous colors. After I finally figured out how to change the colors to something decent I try to read a thread. The freakin' bars piss me off and... This just sucks.

Looks much less professional and less mature than the old forum. I'm not a fan.

After they fixed the bugs, I like this one much better. No more double posts, it actually auto parses url's, and is a little more organized.

I notice in the "my forums" thing it keeps showing, under the "my lattest messages" a Vancouver Canucks thread, and a BoSox thread that I haven't replied to in months, but other ppl keep replying, and putting them at the top of my "my lattest messages" thing. I HATE THIS! before, it only showed say my last 10 or 20 posts that I actually made, I've long quite caring about the Canucks, yet the stupid thread keeps getting replied to. BOOO! an OK idea, but it needs to be turn offable.

[*]Get rid of annoying empty bar in-between posts.
[*]Fix color schemes. Both thread-reading view and "My Forums" are really bad in ALL schemes. The grays used in the "dark" and "black" schemes should in general be much darker.
[*]The bar containing the Reply, Quote, Top, and Bottom buttons should be at least 5 pixels thinner.
[*]The bar containing the private message, view profile, online indication, and other icons also seems annoyingly thicker. Maybe this is because it is a different color all the way across not just where the icons are now? I like the old way a lot better. Maybe if this crap was moved to the same bar as the reply, quote, etc. buttons?
[*]Ditch the color highlighting of the selected field (usually the message text) when posting/editing messages.

????? [ BULLET ] tag inserted by hitting the bullet icon doesn't work it just causes text to be indented. ([ LI ] does though?)

I don't really like it right now. But I'm sure it'll grow on me in a while, and eventually I won't mind it at all.

The font is too small. I normally sit four feet away from my monitor and now I have to strain to read the forum. If there is a way to change the font please let me know.
