Why change it? 

Because we feel this site is much more then just a forum. Basically it's a place where you can meet and interact with friends from all around the world. Aside from the forums we have downloads, clubs, blogs, and members have found diverse ways of communicating as well.

 

We think a community reflects much better what this site is.

Most of this is actually just an update from the developer. I haven't tinkered with anything in a while. Kinda ran out of ideas, lol.

Still, it feels good that someone who understands the software is looking after the "machinery" of the forum. 

It gives the sense of stability for all the members.

This has been a painful update and the site was broken for a while, but everything worked in the end.

Thanks, Bob, for all that hard work!

This will happen again when I get around to updating the Dark Mode theme, which is basically copy this theme, change the colors, and delete the old one.

[Qapla]

Maybe we can talk about those colors - I have my Zoom live

Thank you Bob for all updates 😀

I wish we had “papyrus” mode, something that sits between light and dark 

I am not fond of light, looks ok but surgical, but nice warm “slightly creamy” background would be easier on my eyes. Yeah… I know, I am picky LOL 😜
