Ok, is anyone else, finding this a little hard to get used to?
Amazing. Very nice work Kennedys. Thank you.

Little difficult to get used to: yes, but still impressive work.

It looks more trekish. Cool being able to see who is online or not.

But yeah having the personal information on the right side instead of left is gonna take awhile to get used to.

But may I suggest you remove some of the smilies from the posting page since it streches the page down.

Yeah, I did prefer to have a pop-up to get the extra smilies... took up less space.

Couldn't you see that on the old one?

I've got to say this is going to take some getting used to. I prefer the old one personally. It was efficient.

I suspect I know what that was and it should not be fixed. I had to throttle the page timeout very low to get the conversion to work. I've not changed it back to what it should be.
Thanks

Ok is it suppose to be the white on baby blue colour I'm seeing now because that is impossible to read unless highlighted.

For awhile there is was white on blacky grey which was much better.
What does defeat mean to you?

Nothing it will never come. Death before defeat. I don’t bend or break. I end, if I meet a foe capable of it. Victory is in forcing the opponent to back down. I do not. There is no defeat.

It should be while on grey. Much the same as the previous forum. I would clear you web browser cache and see what happens.

The new layout is cool but it will take time ti get used to everything being moved. I keep pressing the save post button not the submit one :P

But the new colour is impossible to read. It might be because I'm colour blind but the white on black/grey was far easier on the eyes.

All better :)

God that other colour was impossible to read.

The post reply page is still being streched by smilies a bit.

I can see that myself. It wasn't like that in testing on my local machine. I will take a look at it tomorrow but it's 3AM here.
