I personally don't like the white background. its too bright, I preferred the grey one was easier on the eyes.

as usual it will be a case of shock horror whats this do where's that why doesn't this work :)

but dooooon't panic - as with every changeover it will all be ironed out and isn't simply a click here it is, it is all a generic process with creases to iron out here n there as with anything

it's all for a greater good namely you lot :):)

i like the new scheme, would prefer a darker background as mentioned. It is very bright, not sure of the window on the first page.

But other than that good work!

I think it makes things less 'obvious' when at work though ;) which for me is a good thing :D

probably depends what you usually work on...
Ive had more comments about being on the net today than ever before. But then should i be on here... ;)

Top job guys only thing that I perfur on the old one was the time of post ratter then 1hour ago for example

i to prefer a time.

My initial impressions are mixed if I'm honest.. The bright white background seems 'too much', and the banner/header navigation is extremely bold (already have had a few comments at work).. which isn't helped by the fact that on a 1024x768 res it takes up the majority of the screen, with only 4 threads visible on a new posts search for example.

On the other hand, the forum landing page is much better, and threads are displayed in a much cleaner fashion. I'll echo Pete's comments that it's not too great having the page fully justified to the width of the window though.

i kinda agree.... but everyones sig pics now stand out like a sore thumb!

but i like the white!

maybe some slight shading around the post boxes would be good, it can look a bit too white if you get me :)
otherwise impressed though

As i already said, this is a coding bug were looking into, but it's not as simple to fix as pressing a few buttons sadly.

Frankly the whole using it at work aspect, I really don't get. If you can't view it at work, in all honesty don't view it at work. You can't stifle a design by making it comply with your work ethic.

i actually like the 100% width as it shows just the right amount when i shrink the window down at work

if you need to hide it try that - works a treat

personally as long as i'm not stupid it's not a problem anyway well i am the boss so i guess i lead by example - or supposed to :eek:
