I like the fact that you don't have to click on each post to read it, they all cascade down, easier IMO.

Yep! Even though it takes up a little more real estate on the screen, it is easier to view threads and then return to look at a different one. See? I'm already adjusting!

Since this is beginning to look like a real thing - of course the day is not over yet - All the different color locations makes the screen too busy for my old eyes.  How about reducing the height of the time line to a half of what it is now?  A smaller font will work if you need it.  That will cut the amount of color on the page.  Might help some.  I find it difficult to change from Ford Blue though

Maybe make the "XXXX wrote:" space a different color like beige.  That would reduce the impact some.  or make beige the color for all of the color spaces.  Contrast is the devil here.  You want some, but not too high.

If you reduce the text box size by whatever number of lines exist below "Private Message" to zero,  More posts will be shown.  Make it a variable sized box with the "Private Message" location the minimum box size.

I do have to admit you have done a lot of work on this and I appreciate it. 

If  you are willing to take and use the suggestions of myself and others, we can suredly iterate ourselves into something more acceptable to more of us.

Funny thing is that I already have gotten used to the way it looks now...

Wow, once more a change to a used, tried and well workin system. Can get use to it but thing that the old one was more of "one of a kind"!

This forum system is like ourMustang's. 

Keep it looking stock but upgrade with usefull parts! That's how I saw the old forum!

Now it looks like every other forum and has lost the wow factor but I might get used to it if it is "This" what needs to be done. I am getting old!!!!

It's the people that make this site special to me, and the content - not the way it looks.

Whatever you guys decide is fine with me. =)

OK, everyone put in their suggestions for colors.  I remember a few years ago I tried to take off the light blue and everyone thought the world was ending.  Any change is difficult.  Tell me what colors you would suggest... EVERYONE

First, I like this forum better than the old one.  It still has the charm, but the interface is better and faster.  As for colors, that's a personal thing, but I've always preferred the warmth of earth colors.  I've never liked the colder colors like various blues, grey, etc.

But hey,  it's still the MS forum, so I'm good...

At my age the only change I like is an increase in my retirement check. But I'm still here and will get used to it. Still working on learning to post pics.

Did the theme change? Maybe it's just my monitor at home, maybe it's just not being at work, but I like the looks better

Will take some getting used to but I like it.
