click the phpbb sybol at the top

as for the forum, it looks great with the exception of the brightness (as stated many times) all it needs is a darker skin

Hey guys, listen up. When going from phpBB2 -> phpBB3, you can't take the old skin with you. You must wait until pookie or forum install a darker skin. Hopefully it will be sooner rather than later.

Seriously, why the update? I liked it how it was, im sure everyone else would agree. I don't doubt that you will be able to return the graphics etc to the way it was before, but how long will that take?? :S

Pretty sure I'll like it, but the skin is bad.

So, I've created silly ways to protect against the new skin:
1) Tone your screen brightness/gamma down
2) Wear sun glasses Toon_PDT_18

One thing though -- my thread, titled "Blind witch-hunting -- baseless accusations of multi-ing" was deleted. Do I have permission to resubmit it or will it be revived?

I'm assuming that the thread was lost in the forum transition...
There was a rollback or a starting point to move the forum... generally thread are locked and moved away later if they are bad with/without warning given. It probably got cut out with the rollback.

Thats like saying Vista is way better than XP. Or Office 2003 than Office 2000.... All later versions have 'more' 'features', its whether they are useful and make any difference that we want to care about.

Everyone here would agree XP is better then Vista (for now), so if it ain't broke, why fix it?? Especially seing as it now looks crappy, and there might be incompatability problems that make the forum worse than before for us...

Just because something works, does not mean its better eather. Broken is not a state of being, its a state of inward use. It is in the current use of brokeness. The administrators have fixed it to the newest state of fixation. We now are running off of not only the latest model, but something that isnt broken, yet fixed from what was and or could have been considered broken.
