I'm actually more than satisfied that the board's history has been preserved in the update. It was my understanding that this was going to be very difficult and that we were expecting, at best, to have an archived version of all our previous posts. So bravo for however this was managed.

I also love that quoting a post provides both a timestamp and a link back to the original post, like this:

It also sends a notification to the person quoted that they have been quoted (but you can change that in your settings).

I don’t like the new skin but I can live with it.

That being said is there a possibility of doing another vote off on a second skin?
Okay... There's all kinds of things wrong with what you just said.

Now, let's have a vote; who actually wants me to attempt this?...
Well, looking at those instructions, I can safely say I don't want you anywhere near attempting that... :mrgreen:

I had to switch to this skin a while back because of using the board primarily on my phone and this view being more accommodating of that format; I agree it's not as pretty, but it grew on me. Most boards don't have options and my vote is we keep it simple.

Most of the upgrade features are very nice, I think.

Only grumpy geezers and whiney millenials care about the gradations of shades of blue of the pages. We disaffected GenXers don’t give a fuck, so long as it works.
This grumpy old disaffected geezer also don't give a fuck.
People who are wrong are just as sure they're right as people who are right. The only difference is, they're wrong.

I agree with BSG.  The board seems to be working up to our expectations and, as someone wiser than I am once said, "If'n it ain't broke, don't fix it."

Yes, I suppose I could agree with you ... but then we'd both be wrong, wouldn't we?

For Christianity, by identifying truth with faith, must teach-and, properly understood, does teach-that any interference with the truth is immoral. A Christian with faith has nothing to fear from the facts

Well, I was using the Absolution skin (dark blue, avatars on the left) which I rather liked and found easier to read. So if there's a way to make it available again WITHOUT ANY ACTUAL FUSS in doing so I wouldn't mind. Also, Hey you kids, GET OFF MY LAWN!
GAH!

Although I would leave mine the way it is, I think it would be good for people to have other choices. If you don't allow choices, you are being ageist and grumpist. All you non-mature people are so self-centered that you overlook the fact that elderly people's wants and needs are just as important as yours. If you're fortunate enough to reach geezer status, you will then realize how little you matter to younger people. You're in their way and you need to move away or move on to the great beyond, whichever is faster.

Unlike the previous version, it is even less legible than this one.

that's the only one I found that I like of the 3.2 variants (still not sure what version we're running)
