First of all I like the layout... and just like the PI I like to keep it simple. I come here to read comments more than how all the graphics bounce around. I am for one to keep it simple the way it is. Avatar's are a most def, but after that it doesn't need to be so BLASTING OF COLORS!! However heck of a job Yoder and whom ever contributed.
Using this thread for opinions and ideas.
So my first opinion is keep it basic and simple. Its the People that Make the Forum Great, not the Intense Graphics.
Also what I don't like about the Blue is the amount of pages it loads just for a few posts. Even though it will only takes a few post to generate a new page, it get's rather useless having to hit 'next' and 'next' and you get the point to read about 2 pages worth on a normal PI thread.
Just my thoughts
