    I have upgraded the site to the latest version of IPB. I also updated the apps we use here to the newest versions. The default style is not compatible with this version of IPB so for the time being I have reverted back to the default IPB style.

    I have a new style that I will be working on and hopefully by the end of the day today it will be turned on. The 3.3 style we used is too buggy to use in it's present form. Until an upgrade is released I will be changing to a new lightweight style. Once an upgrade to the old skin is available I will add it back. Until then we'll have a new look.

    What are you seeing that I'm not? Other than the style being light which is a change everything else should be done.

    Well, your team icons are showing as red x's.... The forum home looks, I dunno. Maybe its suppose to be that way, but to me it looks cluttered...

    Thanks. I forgot to upload the icons. That's fixed.

    The new style is made without the sidebar enabled. I enabled it and I agree with it enabled it looks cluttered.

    Hows it look now with sidebar off?

    Thanks. I liked the old style, but, the 3.3.1 version is buggy and I wasn't about to spend a week fixing it.

    My opinion, not much better.. But its just my opinion..... There is a lack of contrasting color and I personally dont like themes without good contrasts to seperate sections, etc...

    I think the current style is excellent. Clean and professional.

    Good job. I can not switch from the default style. The other one was too weird for my liking. Love the new 'face'

    Gotta admit Im not a fan of the new style. Shame the other has not been fixed fully yet :( The site really did look good before and was the first thing I thought when I clicked on here. Cant honestly say I would think that with the current one. Im actually using the default IPB theme

    Doing the same as well, I don't like the other custom theme.

    Actually the new theme is growing on me, it's not without fault but it's got a nice, clean look.
