I see it now, thanks. With the way the colors are here, I couldn't really see it without specifically knowing what to look for.

I'll tweak things - still a work in progress.

Please don't take anything I say as a criticism. Until this thing is finished, I'm not even rating the easiest of things. Not only that, but specific to this one thing, seeing the various shades and colors isn't my strong suit, to put it mildly.

You're busting your ass on something that you don't have to. I'm sure 99.99999999999999999% of us appreciate that a whole lot more than we worry about this or that function. I know that I do. Anything I bring up is just to ask out of curiousity, or to try to help from the user end.

No worries, I didn't take it that way and always appreciate any feedback you guys throw my way. The whole point is to make sure everyone likes coming here each day and whatever tweaks I can make to improve things is always something I want to make sure is done

Ian - post #3 suggests a fix for my IE8 problem.

I don't know much about this stuff, whether it's something you can do or not.

That arrow is awfully small, btw, but it is there.. I missed it originally..

Again, Ian, thank you for all the hard work.

If anyone has issues with the new forum while using Microsoft Internet Explorer please use an superior browser such as.

Google Chrome: https://support.google.com/installer/answer/126299?hl=en

Mozilla Firefox: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/​

If your work doesn't let you install anything then you can just get the portable version of those browsers.

Google Chrome Portable: http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/google_chrome_portable

Mozilla Firefox Portable: http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/firefox_portable​

The portable versions can run from a folder, flash drive or cloud storage such a Dropbox.

Love the new load time on mobile. As someone who lurks most days to and from work being able to load new pages quicker at subway stops makes a big difference. Used to time out at most stops.

Much appreciated.

It looks like I need to download software onto the computer or use a flash drive. Can't do either. Never tried Dropbox but I'm not sure this is a good option.

I love it Ian, but I have but one request:

Any way you can implement themes? I used a bunch of hacky methods to give this forum a 'night mode' and it would be awesome if themes in general were natively implemented - the white background is a little harsh.

You can't download any files off the internet? That's pretty restrictive most places just don't allow you to install software.

Well with viruses these days. No thumb drives, external hard drives either. It is what it is.

I'd just download the portable version of one of those if it's not blocked or send it as an email attachment or burn a CD

I like it. Clean, fresh and new.

Awesome job, Ian. Many thanks.

Tell me what you don't like about it so I can figure out ways to hopefully make it better for you?

I'll put something together as a secondary option. The white is a little tough...you're not to the first to say it and I'm definitely going to see what I can come up with to tweak this theme a bit.

I'll also see if I can create some alternate ones too to give people some additional options
