was just about to say its okay can't really tell much difference but then i clicked add reply and boy i like it thank you for bringing us to the future william and like the shaded and unshaded icons to see if people are on or off
Personally I'm not too keen on it... Several aspects have me exclaiming 'Ewwwwwww, icky!'- mainly the new profile section (mine, for example, extends a million miles downwards and requires sideways scrolling when there's a tonne of spare room) and the posting thingy. The normal face is OK though.
I don't like the new banner, but I do like all the new features, especially the icons on Fast Reply, I have dial up, so i always try to do fast reply, but now i can add url's smileys and whatnot, from the fast reply box!
