Hi Lads and ladies. As you know, we've recently had the logo competition to find a new design for the forums 1st year up and running. Congrats went to Coxy for his design voted for by you. In addition to the logo was the idea of creating a different look for the forum in terms of appearance and this has led to using a different 'skin' This skin is now the set as the default for the board and in order to get the full benefit you must have your skin in your profile set to default too! Otherwise, if you are using say The Cool Blues or another themed one, you shall get some very differing results! Anyway, its a change we hope you like. At the end of the day it is an experiment and not quite a permanent fixture. We know there will be people who don't like the new look and there will be people that do. If it really does end up drawing a negative vibe then we shall revert back but here's to giving it a go. A couple of things to point out, the 'Check Pm' tab with the mini windows logo on it, around about top left of your screen should turn red if you have a new pm so its easier for you to identify. Likewise, the active boards/threads should be more distinguishable with the use of colour coded folders. There are some bits that may not quite work and we will be looking into them but on the whole here's to a new look! Opinions and comments are welcome, if you have any gripes or possible suggestions then don't hesitate to make them on the suggestions board. Cheers Lee (After a minor fuck up, the skin has been removed for now- fuckin' computers )

nice work lee, but out of interest, are you gonna be able to use thyis skin as a base model for alternative skins in different colours? I always had the simple black and white of the Luton/Derby skin, so just being curious! Also, the blue writing of subject titles, and quote/modify/reply icons is not very clear - all small things i know, but just asking the question mate!

One more thing Lee, is it not wise to tell everyone via a global PM that they should set the skin to default??

Well what kinda happens is the inside part of the skin reflects whatever you have chosen in your profile. If you have The Cool Blues then the inner part goes sky blue, equally if you had Plymouth, it would be green, Hull would be Orange etc....so it might be that we modify the other skins so it fits into this base, we shall see, at the end of the day for now, if you want the full benefit, i'd just switch to default. I get what you say about the icons but unfortunatly there doesn't seem to be a lot i can do about that right now. I'll look into it but this wasn't made from scratch by me so i don't know where you have to put things to replace them if you get what i mean but i'll look into it.

Scratch the skin then seeing as its got a problem in who it lets see certain parts of the board and i think its got its doubters.
I'll try and fix it but i don't know who wants it and who don't and i don't really want people to be unhappy if they dont like it.

I tried the default but it was just offending my eyes so accustomed to a soft, gentle easy-on-the-eye Argylish green that I had to revert. I had 5 PMs and didn't know they were there. Can we not just have the notification at the top back for we luddites who cannot cope?
