Blue?
With my monotor set to "superblindingbrightness" because of all the window reflections the whole page is plain white to me. It's hard to see where one message ends and the next message starts.

I'd like to welcome back the black theme! (Or at least make the blue a darker blue)

Is Aymat doing all of the site/board work alone? I know the V3C site and board are maintained by more than 1 person and they still have a lot of work keeping it clean and functioning...

We've offered ;) Aymat likes keeping things contained, though the rumour mill says that the new redesign has more than Aymat working on it, not sure how true that is.

Any chance of having the old skins back? The new updates are great, but there's no cohesion anymore and no integration with the rest of the site - not even a link.

A neutral background was voted good by someone who logs in at work But the old site looked more attractive and appropriate to the forum and to newcomers. So , Aymat , we are getting used to this now - What are you going to do?!!

Dumb as I am , how I get the page width right on this computer for this forum I do not know Is there a text size or screen resolution change I have to make? ATM I need to scroll L & R to get the page coverage. Any help would be nice

I've offered to redesign the website, and make it a bit easier for keeping up to date. Last time we left it I was waiting for some sort of site structure to get some designs together. Anyone have any suggestions?

Another vote for the old design here ;) But at least we have a working forum, that's more important :)

I HATE reading white text on black, it makes my eyes go all wierd, but the old white text on grey was very soothing.

One thing I particularly don't like is that the page 1, 2 etc links at the bottom of multi page threads are too small. One feature on another forum I use that's great is a 'view new posts' link in the thread list. Then instead of skipping through all the pages until you find the last post that was there the last time you read the post, and the first new one, you use the link to open the thread and your taken straight the the first new post in the thread since your last visit.

Whether this is unique the the forum software (I think it uses PunBB as opposed to phpBB) but twould be super if introduced :)
