Participants express frustration over the lack of appreciation for Greg's efforts, noting that instead of acknowledging his dedication, many users criticize the new design. There's a call for empathy, suggesting that just as users supported each other in a previous thread about member photos, they should extend the same courtesy to Greg. While some users initially dislike the new skin, they recognize the skill involved and express a willingness to adapt over time. The conversation also touches on the importance of community support and the need for constructive feedback rather than negativity. Overall, there's a mix of opinions, with some users appreciating the aesthetic changes while others struggle with the transition.

If you look under View-->Page source, you can see exactly what colors Greg chose for the new skin.

How can anyone not like this skin.
When I first so it I was in awe, no really.
The graphics around the thread, like the blue and the green stuff, and the PF logo at the bottom right, it's the best thread design I've seen in awhile, and definately the best futuristic design.

Um...okay, I'll take your word for it. I don't see anything in all that stuff that looks like the color you told us to type, but I don't even know where to look.

you know, I looked at the source code and I found the stylesheet. It opened, I closed it. I tried to access it again, and it says that the page cannot be found. But yeah, if you use photoshop, you can get the color. ooooo[/color]:wink:

edit: now that I see it in photoshop, it's #e9e9e9 hmmm...[/color]Yeah, that works better

Everyone knew a new skin was coming, Everyone knew Greg had been working hard on it. When the new skin comes do people say wow, good job Greg. or wow, you must have worked for days. Does anyone even stop and think about his feelings? No just start trashing his hard work.
Would it hurt you to show a little humanity? Before you answer that remember the member photos thread. Do you know how many lies Evo and Moonbear and others had to tell in that thread? As geek after geek after geek threw their goofy looking pictures up. "Ohh you're a hottie." "baby baby, I think adam's apples are so sexy." "My sleepy hollow is getting so hot and wet you Ichabod Crane lookalike" "We should start a PF men calendar"
They did this because they are nice people and are obviously not afraid of going to Hell if it makes you feel good.
Greg is one hottie, and there's no doubt about that.

Better?

I haven't been reading the threads about the new skin, but it's sad to hear that it is negative.

The first thing I thought was like cool new look. I like it how he changes things once in awhile even the small things. I've never been to a forum that has a dedicated person working on it like Greg.

He even offered free premium membership for simple to do things. I wish I can take that opportunity right now, but I have literally no time. I thought about what to do though. A basic quiz on Abstract Algebra. :)

Off Topic. But what are you guys covering/covered in your Abstract Algebra class so far. In my abstract algebra class we are doing Isomorphisms of commutative rings.

Greg owns this site. This was his brainchild. He makes no money off of this. I hope he never tires of us, I can't imagine life without this forum. :cry:

He could decide to do other things and this could all disappear. :frown:

Awww <sniff> will you go into another room and post from another computer? We can pretend we're still on the forum. :smile:

I'm ok...really. It's not like I can't function in the *real* world anymore.

Really. :rolleyes:

I'm going to HELL!
Dammit! I just talked to this girl I know and asked her what she was doing tonight. She said she was waiting for her son to finish his chemistry homework so she could take it over to her friends house and have it checked. I said, "well wait just one minute there little lady, I majored in Chemistry. Bring it over here and I'll be happy to check it. I haven't looked at a single chem problem in 15 years. I remember Avagadro's number and that's about it. It's these damn hormones.

Well, you just plunk that kid in front of the computer with the browser open to PF's homework forum, and let him check his answers at your place, just as promised, while you and his mother sneak off...:rolleyes: Maybe I shouldn't have said that out loud here where they could read this and know what you're up to.
