Well, it's been a while coming, but between Tim and I, we've got a shiny new look for the site.
I've been testing it over the last few weeks, and I don't think I'm missing any icons or anything, but if you spot something amiss (wonky formatting, missing pictures etc), take a screenshot and let me know.
I will also be trying to add new coloured themes to the list at some point, so if you've got a favourite, let me know that too.
If you really, really hate the new look, you can change it back to the old one (known as 'default') in your Control Panel.

Man, the forum looks amazing. I love the turquiose it's so cool and minty fresh. Awesomesauce!
Generally I like the new look. Only I would prefer a little bit more contrast for easier reading.
But maybe that is just me with my eye issues.
Again: Well done , you two!
Cheers

Has the contrast been increased? If so, wow that's fast!
I agree about the contrast. I would prefer black text, or at least customisation to make it black if you want.
But I really like the new style. Well done!
The grey is fine for me but anyone on a monitor with poor contrast ability will suffer (ie most budget screens)
I think the Quick reply's "Post Reply" and "Preview Post" buttons should be as bright as the main "+Reply" button as I keep going to press it instead after typing in the box as it "pops" more If you get what I mean.
LOL forgot to say how awesome it all now looks
Too busy bitching like a, well a wife I suppose!
I have the best quality screen you can get... but it is a little straining on the eyes, especially when you are typing the message, the text seems lighter than it does once it has been posted.
I love it,
But a skin that made it look like Outlook, Word and Exel would be best as I could read and post undetected at work!
Nice and fresh - like it - although I share the contrast concerns - maybe a darker grey for the text......

lol, now that's smart.
Also, Chris I never knew you like Eldar? Wow.
Hehehe, my dirty secret is out!
Yeah about 20 000 pts worth of the pointy ears collected since Rouge Trader.
Just gotta get them all painted at some stage

Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiit, I thought me and Kiran were the only Eldar players at the club. Wow, 20,000 points is a fucking lot of stuff. I got a force that consists of seven Wave Serpents, 40 Dire Avengers, 30 Fire Dragons, 3 Wraithlords and two Farseers and that's around 2500. I actually can't imagine 20,000 points.
Awesome theme, though I have already been using it for about a month already
@Chris - Alt+tab is your friend. I always have another work related window to switch to as soon as anyone walks in. It helps having my own office though! I cant wait to get to the new office we are building because I can design the whole interior myself and choose where my office is and how my desk is positioned.
Have the desk facing the door. It's good feng shui and it's also good for keeping people out of your stuff. Also that means that everyone's in your front arc when they enter your office so they won't get +2 hit or even an additional dice from Backstrike.
Looks really professional, great job

Believe it or not - I have got a couple of thousand points of Eldar as well!
Note: Even painted - not by me, but hey, painted is painted!
I also have a ton of Eldar btw. Eldar apocalypse anyone?
Also, like the new look!

Important things in office design...
Indeed hombre! Don't want to get knifed in the back at work, physically or metaphorically.
