How well do you like the new skin?

[KingNothing]

Contrast is poor, especially for my old eyes. I have four choices of `reading glasses’ to focus at ~ 6”, 14”, 24”, and 36’’. Normally I use the 36” pair to browse the web but for PF I find I have to use the 24” pair and move closer to the monitor.
Black text on a gray background in message area is a problem for me.

For you and for anyone else that might have a specific problem, you CAN use the old skin. It's at the very bottom of the options menu within your control panel. Select PF Classic instead of PF Nexus.

Hmm...

Wow, this dialog box sure took some time to load...

Ok, I like it, but I don't approve of it.
Reasons: Loading time.
Problem: Person on dial-up gets screwed.
Answer: Allow ability to change skin.

Me: I'm on adsl/dsl don't know.. but it did take some time to load which kind of kills the process of browsing and giving a quick reply which just annoys me having been on the web so long. I want it now and here, that's how I work.

I am working on optimizing things. Also you can change skins. Look to your lower left.

I do not like the new lay-out, to me PF now looks like a sci-fi site.

The things that I particularly dislike are what KingNothing pointed at in post #50, and even more the vertical black and gray lines with a column of grey circles in between that are taking up screen space on both the left and right site of the screen.

I've taken off a lot of effects off the secondary header, what do ya'll think?

That`s a lot better , it`s a sutbtle change (since i didn`t notice it at first), the removal of theose circles doesn`t highlight the bar as much, yet keeping the triangular shape draws the eye in and down.

Oooh, I've just found the arrows that make the reply box bigger or smaller, nice touch.

(Still not seeing the groan smilie )

ehh

I really bdon't like the sidebar menu because i have to move the mouse a few more inches over to the right. Of course you could call me lazy, but I liked it when all of the little buttons were next to each other. The sidebar menu with blog and etc.. just seems unnecessary and reminds me of early html techniques to create such a thing. usually people decided to stop using those types of things and go to a jump menu option.. the drop-down menu type thing..

I like it. You've made some nice modifications in the last day or two. Either that or it's just starting to grow on me.
