Go on then, which bugger requested the shift to the left side?

What is this chinese writing in the black bars top and bottom of page??

Seem to be a problem with IE6 & IE7 (notoriously difficult browsers) - are you using one of those? If so, I'd recommend using another browser for now or failing that switch back to subsilver2 until we can resolve the issue. Sorry!

To be honest I don't like it.
It's too bright and lost the cozyness of the old site.

Weird...after posting , it looks like before the change!

I agree. The font face is attacking my eyes. "subsilver2" definitely NOT as easy on the eye as before.

I'm using IE8, sublsilver hasn't changed it either. I'll have a look what it's like on chrome later. Not so good for my eyes this font, although I do like the overall look of the site.

Thanks

Yep, I agree.

Although I do appreciate the work Ric et al have put in.

It's good and much more up to date.

The think about new forum layouts is that even if the old one was written on a commodore vic 20 in 1983 and the new one was designed by Steve jobs, people will say they don't like it because they don't like change.

Only have a very boring aesthetic point.

Could do with a vertical line separator between the posters username etc and the message post like the one between the topic title and message post.

All these changes and we still dont have a spell checker for those illiterate amongst us ;-)

Much improved over the old version Ric, you should be proud of it

Agreed.

I edited my original post. I am talking about the "subsilver2" scheme. I don't know what the font face has been changed from - to, but it seems a lot less balanced to me, particularly the small bold text - too blocky.
