It think it looks great and I don't usually like change.
We really needed the forum to be 'updated'.
I think it will be a draw to new visitors to not find a 'standard' looking forum.
Thanks for all your hardwork, Shlomo.
It's funny.
I, actually, find it easier on the eyes. Maybe it's the color scheme. I like it.
That's coming from someone that needs to take a trip to the eye doctor for reading glasses.
It's nice that people can choose the way they view the forum though.
