Ooh, thanks for changing the "new" icon - that bugged me a little too; the new threads stand out more again now. :)

one other thing, is there a way to make the quote boxes lighter? You know when you reply in a thread and quote? That's all black and hard to tell the difference as well?
Better? (Not sure this was what you were talking about, but...if it's not, let me know. I'll keep tinkering.  ;D )

I really like it!  As soon as I saw the new layout I thought to myself "Oooh, shiny!" :D

No, it's still coming out gray for me. I can live with it though. Can you make the board spit out bulldog puppies? I'd really like that too.

Me too. I'm so change-resistant about stuff like this. LOL. The worst for me is getting used to the new spot for the "Show unread posts since last visit..." links. I may have to do some major reconstruction trying to get that back where it belongs! LOL. (Then again they're going to make me upgrade the board again soon, so may wait to be sure the theme will work with the new update...*grumbles*)

It's a little different, but not so much that I'm freaking out.  I'll get used to it over the next few days and forget what it was like before LOL.

YAY! and they are even wearing purple! You're good!

The box is a little bit lighter now. Much better than before.

D'oh!  That one we'll probably have to live with. Maybe can talk her into using purple (or maybe I can find how to add a different shade of pink...or a way to strip color tags out of quotes...hmmm. Will have to think on that one. lol)
