I changed back to the old theme manually in my profile settings.  This new look is just way too bland.

Wow! Thanks for reminding me that was possible! :P

Also, not a huge deal, but the recaps text is changed as well (Prior to Season 41 Recaps), the once-black is now a greyish-white. Not sure how I feel about this, it's nice in Joe_C's, but in Kitch's layouts, it's harder to read.

I don't mind the new theme, I'll leave it on.

Agreed, this is not doing it for me.

Vader, how did you (or GSF1987) change the layout?  I'm not liking this new one either, but I've looked through every page under Profile and I don't see an option to change themes.

Seth had that feature temporarily enabled but it's no longer available.

I would prefer more of a distinguishing mark between different posts -- the old layout had them alternating in yellow and orange, but this one gives a very light blue tint to every other post.

(The blues are a bit darker now, and more noticeable.)

How? I cannot find any such setting.

And do not be like YouTube in that "You can switch back, but on [date] you will be forced to use the new design."

(Speaking of YouTube, I am not liking the return to "show more" buttons on user pages rather than having a number of "pages", as my bookmarks have become invalid as a result of this exceedingly-nonsensical alteration.)

The above is my opinion and mine alone.

To answer your questions: yes, I am a guy and yes, I have a face. (I also have the occasional spurt of weirdness.)

People are tired of the f**kery and drama, but if we'd actually talk to each other sometimes instead of a whole bunch of private conversations with other people, it'd go a long way to perhaps fixing the problems most seem to see in the site.

The blue background looks pretty neat.  Opinion changed.

Honestly, I like the change.  Everything is a lot cleaner. Clean is good.  Nice work, Seth!

Scared the crap out of me when I pulled the site up. Hehe.

No actually it really does remind me of the old site (which only lasted about a month and a half after I registered before it was overhauled). I kind of like it. It will take some getting used to though.

On a minor note, the quotes really should feature endquotes for proper grammar.  :-)

Now wait a minute, the curtains in the background are back now... the plain orange looked better at least with this forum layout. The curtains are out of place now. I think the top of the screen is missing something. The GR rainbow coming back would look nice.

I don't think the site colors and fonts should have been changed,

Now it just looks like a quick-fix site design.  The old theme was so much better!  This is much too bland for our site.  I do like the blue background, but the format looks "unfinished."

Yeah I see it. Still prefer the orange, though.

Not bad, actually. Much more friendly looking to the eye.
