We want to stick with one main theme for the forum and not have loads of skins that all need to be kept up to date. So what do you think of this new skin? It may have a few problems but most should be fixable. There are lots of neat features you just have to find them.

So what do you think? Any comments please.

Thanks Andy

Just seems a bit dull and sombre to me Andy. I preferred the green skin from before personally.

I have to agree, I prefer the old green skin too personally.

The old skins are gone, they do not work on the new software.

If it's the colour you don't like you can change it to whatever you like. You can have a different background everyday if you want.

See photo...........

I like the new forum skin with the green background colour. The member map is a really good idea and I have already written my town into the map. Some elements are now landed somewhere else and I have to look where this feature are now (like "view latest posts" = "View New Contents").

Greetings, Thomas

I like the two tone pinky brown skin best, I think the member map is a great idea too. Nice to see it all up and running again and updated good work!

Not much time to "fiddle abite" as yet but first glance to be honest it looks a bit cheap and flat compared to the last one with its shadow relief effects etc.
I thought it was quite slick (looking)
CHANGE YOU SAY...........CHAAAANGE?!!

Changed my mind, I actually really like the new setup.The skins are not as nice as the old ones, but I love the new options in general. Its handy to be able to share topics on facebook etc, and its nice to see photos from the gallery under the forums page. The members map is also a good addition. Great job!
