Yes. It is the holidays and this has taken time. More than I anticipated.

Everyone remember that if you want the avatars on the left, choose subsilver2. If you want them on the right, try prosilver.

It is nice seeing the embedded videos. Plus you can attach pictures directly to your post so their should be better content now.

sure does. The default font setting (in Safari) looks great - different to before. A good screen font.

Just let me know if you see anything weird. I am noticing that the stuff across the top doesn't render in a rectangle all the time and the amazon.com static image isn't there reliably. <sigh>

At least all the Christmas rebates are done and the leaves are up AGAIN.

This one works with Opera, so it's better than the old one for me.

I actually really like this new style, although the nickname and avatar sections on the right instead of the usual left are a bit unsettling (that's not the right word but you get my drift). Also, I have to scroll down nearly half the page to get to the posts because of the heading at the top - it's huge!

Well done Doc! (and I don't mean that in a patronising way at all, lol) :D

PoP, go into your user control panel and change your board preference to subsilver 2 rather than prosilver. That will shift everything back to the left and will probably change the top heading as well.

Let us know if it doesn't work for you.

OK. I think the content at the top of the page is reasonably correct under prosilver and subsilver2. I noticed some oddities that I think I corrected. It is possible that with lower resolution screens, things might not look the same but I think we are OK now.

Great! First the design scared me from using the site but the change of style helped a lot - Thank you subsilver 2 :)
