So did something change here or is it just me? I like the new look! Oh and if its the same for everyone else and hasn't changed just chalk it up to last months head injury and I'll live in ignorant bliss.

Mine is the same when I log in, but darker colors when I'm not. It looks fine but I'm never a big fan of change unless something needed to be addressed. Site is very functional in it's present form IMO.

I thought before also that I must have logged in but didn't think I had but then noticed some features were missing and then realized there was a change made as its always been a white background when not logged in and the dark grey with red highs when logged in for quite a while now.

I was waiting until someone noticed lol. Personally I prefer the "Dark" theme and I set it to the default theme. I find it easier to read. Nothing has actually changed as far as the format, purely aesthetics. If too many don't like the new look I will set it back to the blue one. If it is only a handful that don't like the dark theme you can go to your profile, hit edit profile, settings, and then pick your forum theme. Be sure to hit save near the bottom.

Ahhh ok now I get what everyone is talking about...I been running the dark format since day one so I was sitting here wondering WTF lol.
On another note while I think of it, don't ask why it just popped in mind, why does some members type in their posts show up so much smaller than most? Example the fellow from out by Barrhead, Victory. I actually have to sit up and pay attention to read what is written in his posts. Not sure but I think I seen another member with the same size type.

I could be wrong as after all it appears its possible to change the font size within this reply window I always use which is by clicking "Reply" at the top right hand corner of that bottom window that shows up at the bottom of each thread, but alternatively one can simply type right into that bottom window and hit the quick reply button. Try typing some letters into that bottom window and you will see the letters are very small as that seems to be the default font size if using that window. Perhaps that could be changed by Beerwiser ( assuming I am correct on my assumption ) to the same font size we are mostly seeing to avoid struggling with reading posts that did use that quick response window.
Beerwiser can correct me if I am all wrong about my reasoning around the two font sizes AB has been seeing on the forum.

This is a reply using the quick reply window at the bottom of the page AB, lets see if it looks different from what I had just typed in my prior post.
Hmmm, as I edit this after having compared the two, it changed the font size upon posting it up so I guess something else is going on then such as those people having changed their font size themselves.

Now I am using the smallest font size available, see what that looks like.

Sorry for all the posts but just experimenting, so it reverts back to this standard size font when I create another posts rather then having held onto my small font setting.

I am not sure why victory's post would have smaller font. You can't blanket change font size, only when you use the reply button like NF did.

How do you reply a highlighted quote from another member. On the old site you highlighted the sentence and hit reply. That way doesnt work here?

How do you reply a highlighted quote from another member. I will make a quick video on it along with posting pictures for this site when Iget a chance. What do you mean by highlighted quote though? Basically though you can just quote the member and delete the unnecessary content of the guy who you want to quote.

My only complaint with the dark theme is the font is very heavy (as in bold). I fixed that with a small CSS tweak using the Stylus add-on in my browser. But if the theme could be fixed, that would be great. Somehow the font-weight is set to 700, which makes it really bold. Probably should be set to just "normal" in the CSS.

I like the bold text, easier to read lol even on the old site I run the dark background, just so much easier on the eyes for me all around.
As for deleting part of a quoted post, is it just me who runs into issues doing this? More often that not when I try to do this, everything gets all messed up. But then maybe thats something to do with slow internet, as Beer mentioned, sometimes takes a while for everything to load correctly...
