Hi everybody,

After 5 years, I decided to try a change. I think this layout is a little more sleek and professional, and it's a nice change from the baby blue. I hope you all enjoy it.

Thought I had the wrong site bookmarked for a second. I like the look. Feels like we went from a Buick Cutlass to a Mustang. I like the sleek look.

It was a bit of a surprise but I like it.

It looks a little bright at first because there are no border lines anymore separating all the forum columns and rows. But everyone will get used to it :)

Great Job Ryan! Change is always good and I love it:)

Thought I had the wrong site bookmarked for a second. I like the look. Feels like we went from a Oldsmobile Cutlas to a Super cool Mach 1 Mustang like Dave's.. like the sleek look.

Fixed that for ya......

They should be able to add emoticons that you like if you ask.
Some forums will do that. One I was on for cars would let you pic your
own favorite and then they would name the filename after your screen name.

WOW!!! What a difference. I like the way photos show up in a post much better. At least one I saw this AM had multiple pics side by side. The rest will take time to adjust to but looks great.

Marie,

Actually, it's not smaller, it's larger. It takes 100% of your browser, where the old format only used about 90%. What's "missing" are all the lines between rows and columns. They make the forum look much more open and spacious. I'm glad everyone's enjoying it so far :)

Hey Ryan,

I do some web site development as well. You are in the right ballpark. Things seem nicer to me. It is nice to give members a chance to "chime in" but as you know "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder" and your efforts over the years if nothing else sure give you editorial and design rights.

If there are small things you need done, I would be happy to help out. No charge of course.
