    New layout

    There was a change in format this morning that changed the colors of all the icons on the black forum skin.

    Instead of updated threads being in green, it's now in grey, which blends in with the background and makes it a lot harder to notice, and some other small changes.

    Is this a bug or intentional? I want the old skin back @.@

    we actually switched to a new skin layout but it didnt mesh with our internal updates to the forums, so ragns combined both skins into a DBZ styled fusion of each, at this point we havent finished getting the icons set back up, so while I feel your pain you just gotta be patient, eventually itll all be worked out

    Have to second this one. Grey on black is pretty hard to notice, the old colour contrast was perfect. Not too bright, not too dark, just fine.
    Especially the "jump to first unread post" markers are way too "stealthy" IMHO.

    €dit: ah, ok. As long as you're working on it, everything's fine ^^

    Why would you make the new skin live before it's complete...?

    Those are especially bad.

    Quoted text also seems to be grey on a grey background.

    As gray normally indicates that something has either already been viewed or is inactive/unavailable, I have to agree. Aesthetically, they're not easy to spot, and don't obviously advertise their purpose.
