Re: New Skin?

Wow, just logged on,on a whole i like it,
Just that the overall page is just too wide, and you have the left-right slider at the bottom.
Just off to have a look round.

Re: New Skin?

I love the new look, but agree with Nick, just keep the Skoda green up top and use that green for the buttons too.

The white is a little harsh on the eyes, but otherwise love the fresh look.

Re: New Skin?

i think it looks pretty good I've run a few forums myself (got 1 in the pipeline atm) and rolling out a new look takes time and patience - well done so far

Site also seems quicker .... running fewer queries perhaps ?

Re: New Skin?

Hi Good old soviet here,

I can get used to this one, as it is much more restful for ones eyes. I am suspecting though that the site owner is needing to do more work to it to make it so good.
I like this new skin.

Re: New Skin?

I'm finding the white too harsh for my delicate eyes. Theres also a bit too much white space at the top Col.
