Two thumbs up!
When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down ‘happy’. They told me I didn’t understand the assignment, and I told them they didn’t understand life. ~ John Lennon

On the whole I like it, but -- if I can note one thing -- I really don't like the black background. (I like colour!!) Very minor I know but every time I go to the page it makes me feel slightly depressed! (Ignore me)

Very slick.  I like the links at the top.  But do we still have a recent unread topics link?  Am I just missing it?

I feel the same  :-[

It's to the right near where your avatar is.

I like the new look as well! Very pleasing to the eye! Thanks for all your continued hard work for all of us!

P.S. - the background for me is navy, not black like others are seeing. It goes nicely with the UKY logo!

Haha, in my bleary-eyed state this morning, I thought I'd gone to the wrong website!  ;D  Looks great though! 

There were a couple of users online when I swapped the template over, so I can imagine they were confused when it all suddenly changed. ;D

Thank you for all the positive feedback, it's a relief. I'm glad the majority seem to approve. Unfortunately we can't please everyone all of the time, white/bright pages tend to strain my eyes after a while.

Do let us know if you find anything buggy, I became pressed for time and didn't get as much testing done as I could have.

I know of a couple of fiddly display issues already, so I'm starting a list. Thank you for your patience. :)

It looks great, Leah! I think 'snazzy' was the first word that came to mind when I saw it this morning (after I had a brief moment of confusion, of course).  :)

Me three. I also find the orange colour of the "new" button on unread posts to be a bit blinding.

The layout (colours aside) looks good, though. :)

I just did the same thing.  Sign in and then did a goodle search because I thought I was at the wrong place. Now I just need to figure out where you put everything :-)

I have to agree.  I don't like all the black.  It does look snazzy and modern, but I prefer the comfy familiar look of the old way.  I guess I'll get used to it. 

Anyway, I know how hard you work on this site and I am eternally grateful for it!
