The new forum format is stupid.

Is it just me or does anyone else hate the "new" format? It looks as if it's gone back to the time before dot com crashes, 9/11 and Bush-hating. I hope this is temporary. How will we know who is online? Will old threads be put back on the "new" forum? If this "new" forum becomes slow, what will be the point of all of this? I suppose thats what you get when something is run by communists: they promise you the world but set you back 500 years instead.

Although I liked the old format, I would much rather prefer it to be fast and not crash every 5 seconds....

it's very likely that I'm just naive...but there was an option to change skin type
so you might be able to add color...

And to Vitania...it just takes getting used to...hopefully we won't crash as much (I had such a hard time before...:( )
go exploring, you'll get used to it

It's still phpBB and so there *could* be an option to skin it if this has been implemented and depending on what skins are available.

The fact that it is phpBB unfortunately also means that it scales fairly badly :(

I think you need to do a little more investigating.

This format is the same as the stormfront (neonazi site) forum. That's my main problem with it.

I want to at least be able to change the gray bars to *some* color. We have all these nice colored smilies, shouldn't we be able to do colored bars?

Oh, for crying out loud. Letlia, I gave you more credit than that. You're drawing a connection because the format is the same? Seriously, there are not many default formats to go around. Half the forums on the 'net look alike.
