Haha, spot the difference. Ok look at the intersection between the sidebar, gallery images, and the board panel. In one of them you see white, in the other you see the page background (Posted Image) Think about the skin before the upgrade, it never had a white wrapper around all of the content.

Same :) Also coz of my laptop's angle, it can be really hard to see the boxes on the white background unless I tilt it backwards.

1. Unless I'm overlooking it, I can't edit the "About Me" section in my profile. o_0
2. Not that big of a deal, but the "Mark forums read." button made it easier for me to spot any new posts.
3. Is there a way to change the color of the skin? I like dark colors. xD
EDIT: Ok never mind, found #2...lol. Used to seeing it as "forums" and not community. xD
Seems the menu is somewhat screwy though. o.0 (hard to read the options until you highlight them)

1. Can you see the following popup in your setings?
Posted Image2. Button? You can click on the forum marks on the board index to mark as read. Is that what you mean? I plan to change the forum markers to specific icons (such as in the engines category) but you will be able to click them to mark the forum as read, and when it is read, the icons will fade.
3. Nope this is the one and only theme. Sorry Posted Image

Actually I wasn't referring to the background, background is fine. But when I click on the "Mark communities read" and the menu pops up, I can't see any of the options until moving the mouse over them. I dunno if its happening with other menus though.

Lost an internet tab, and couldnt find it anywhere, so I got to use the auto save feature for my thread post I was updating and saved me literally hours of work(thanks a ton). On a related noted, after loading my auto saved thread post, every apostrophe ( ' ) turned into this:
'
It was a minor pain, but no were near as inconvenient as having to retype and format the whole post. Figured I should mention it non the less.

On an unrelated note, I noticed a 5 star rating system for some threads, I was wondering if it was some how possible to have this visible before selecting a thread as well as while viewing the thread.
Also I noticed I can not see the 5 star rating system on any of my own threads(I assume so I can not rank myself), but am still unaware as to their ranking. I was wondering if it was possible to make this visible as well.

I also noticed the new tag system(gotta say I love it), but I noticed the comment section is gone from the threads. I did however check an older thread out and saw the comment still available. I was wondering if it was possible to give us the option of both a comment and a tag.
My reasoning is that I like to keep thread titles short and to the point, then I like to have the comments section to give a brief but more detailed description, enticing the reader and explaining further, then the tags work to group threads together into common topics without having to use a search function as first resort.

These of course are just my opinions, but I must say overall this is definitely an improvement.

Well I like the new upgrade Mark. I kind like the forums without the white background. Makes it seem like things are floating and I don't know but I like that. haha. And that white font needs to be changed still. :P Glad to see you are still working on the forums Mark.

Glad you like it. I can't remember, but we've probably had a few changes since the last time you were here :P

Ah yeah a few things need changing, I've been away recently on a trip so left a few things unfinished in this topic.
