Forgive me for plagiarizing a speech that was itself plagiarized, but...

I have a dream that my forum will one day live in an Internet where it will not be judged by the colors of its skin but by the content of its character!

Maybe that day will come, when the colors of its skin stop hindering the reading of the content of its characters.

They don't hinder whatsoever; you're just needing more time to adjust to the change. ^_^

It's true in the case of our forum, but something like this http://custom.simplemachines.org/themes/index.php?action=download;lemma=965;id=6191;image would make me want to kill myself (after having lost both my eyes in the process of looking at it).

Also RAFchat did not change. I thought it would be affected too.^^

I love the new look. I'm sure it will take some time to get used to, but it's really cool. Thank you, Richard and the rest of the staff :) Can't wait to get familiar with all the new features too.

That would be a cool feature.  I also miss all the stuff the quick reply had like smiles and bold buttons.

I don't mean to imply I don't like the new features.  They're great.  I do like the WYSIWYG feature.  I'll have to play with it for a little while to see what I can do with it. 


It's a little glitchy, but I still like it.

Test of the new hyperlink feature.

It's also a little glitchy, but still good.

And yeah, I do judge forums and websites in general by color, probably for the same reason that carpets, cars, clothes, paintings, etc. are.  A feature that would allow users to choose their color schemes and even their layouts is an amazing idea, Goom.

I also want to say that we (or at least I) are not trying to criticize improving the forum.  We're just expressing our opinions so that you can get some feedback and make adjustments.
