Ok settle down everyone....
We all knew it was going to happen, I wasn't just flappin my gums the whole time.
Of course this is all a work under progress but it should turn out to be quite an improvement.
Lets here what you think.

I forget what the old one looked like already...
No wait, it had a lot of black. I like black. Black makes a great background. This grey/white thing feels tame. Like we're discussing the best beach to land our sea kayaks.
Back in Black

The light gray is a bit harder to look at imo.

Interesting, it was changed because of the number of people that did
not like the Black Colors. So does anyone like the lighter color's? I
was a little mixed at first too. But after working with this color
scheme and format for a few months I quickly changed opinion.
One reason I changed my opinon is the default settings of IE and
Mozilla. Text colors are standard to be in contrast (Dark Text on Light
Back Ground) when you invert the colors like the old site (Light Text
on Dark background) browsers will often change the text color in your
post if there were no colors specified. That was the reason that posts
on the old site often had weird coloring when the formats changed.
An example would be bulleted lists that wanted to show up like this but inverted.
- Preformatted text fields that were copied in were copied with default dark text (with our scheme now, it does not matter, but for arguements sake I have reveresed the problem to demonstrate what would happen on the old site.)

There's only a few forums I've dug in to - but I always prefer the dark background/light text for viewing. Helll, it looks better on my smaDonkey Punchphone too.
Great example of perpetual night:)
I'll just have to wear my sunglasses in the future...

OOps.. I wrote that a bit wrong in the Text Filter. Supposed to catch RT = Donkey Punch not any combination of r+t. Oh well thats fixed.
And again with the colors.. Lets all just get used to the new features and bugs etc.. then we can worry about the color. Apart from the color I would say the new site is much better overall.

Does anyone want a Hot Carl??
James, I like the new layout, and I got your back on the color. Having the directions to the take out on the trip planner page is sweet!
Thanks for the hard work.
Peace

Thanks James. I am sure that the change took a lot of work. I have to say though that I agree with Hydro. The white background is a little too sterile, I liked the black!

I confess, I liked the site better before. Not only the color but also the trip planner.
I do like the new media section though.
