What's with the new look for the SBG Forum initial screen? The background has repeated SBG logos and the text background is grayed out making everything very hard to read. Once I logged in, the look reverted to what I'd become accustomed to (pale yellow background and text has white background).
Visitors to the forum might not pursue it further--it's hard to read. And that would be sad. I vote for restoring the look to what it had been.

Um.. I'm seeing no such thing. I think it's bugged for you for some reason.

Lots of us are seeing it before logging in. There's a thread about it down in the cafe.

The ONLY good thing that I can see in the opening screen - at least it's the opening screen to members as it becomes "better" after we log on - is that I can see the avatars more clearly. Not sure if that's a really great benefit. But hey, whatever Paul chooses I can adapt to.

I see three options in my profile modification page. I have always chosen to view it with the default skin. I did briefly look at the bronze setting (which must be the new look) and the SBG option. The default is simply easier for these old eyes to see without flashes of contrast and brightness that often come with all the pretty colors.
Cheers
Hotspur; what's the song lyric about cheap sunglasses?
At least there was an option a few hours ago

I think it looks more sophisticated. I like it, but it will take me a while to adjust to it though.

lol its changed again.
The design really was horrible with the logo repeated in the background. It was a throw back to early nighties web design. It was really awful, you count even read the text on some parts.
This new "cool blue" look is fantastic, its better than the red. Everything gels better and its a much more fluid design. Very crisp.

I can't read any of these comments unless I highlight them ( black text on black background). This sucks.

I can't read much that has been posted. Could we go back to the old display?

It is just not pleasant anymore. It's now hard to read and distracting.

Okay, now I've been having trouble reading things. My vote is to go back to the old look. I could at least read the flippen' posts.

It has been announced that there are technical failures with the forum skin. So that is what we see now, I hope. I donĀ“t think anyone sits down and invent these color combinations on purpose.

Who's doing this? Paul? Dan? A hacker? I was quite content with how it was for the last 3 years.

But the Grey Navigation links need to be more visible

The current background (Sword Buyers Guide sideways along the left side and various sword hilts along the right side) looks good.
Just curious, does anyone else see the smite button?

Yes, I see the mystical "smite" button. I think I might need to worry
