I posted my thoughts over on the other topic you started, but I will post it again. There is a lot of white, but I think I can get used to it!

I think this one runs a lot faster than all the others ... I like it because of that. ;)

Well, it's BRIGHT enough (getting out my "shades' for a better look...) :o

Great job here...but where's the "local wx conditions" box on the Forum Index page? :?:

We are in the process of putting the "Local Wx Conditions" on a separate page like the calendar. We are doing this to conserve bandwidth and help the performance a little. As soon as we get that done we will pull the weather off of the other templates. :-)

Ok, I notice a little more color on the pages, but I still don't like it. I have to scroll over just to read posts and to me it's inconvenient.

I agree HD, have to scroll to far over to read a whole post or see the boards. Just my opinion.

Is there a reason why this new look is bigger than my 17" monitor? I have to use the arrows to move it back and forth just to read it. Any idea why this is happening?

It's just a teeny bit wider than my display area (maybe by .1" or so) but nothing worth complaining about. Are you sure your display area is set to 1024 x 768? I have a 17" monitor and it's basically fine for me.

I have the same problem while reading the messages and forum columns. I have to scroll every single time. I posted this earlier in the Tips forum and Marshall replied with something you can try. It didn't work for me, but it might for you.

On a 17' monitor you should set the resolution to 1024x768 and it should fit fine. If you have a smaller monitor you may want to go back to one of the other templates tomorrow... sorry :-(

No problem... Right click an empty spot on your desktop and select properties.... Then go to settings and you will see resoultion there... Slide the bar over untill 1024 X 768 shows..

This is just a first draft guys... If you dont like it just tell us what you think we can do to improve it.
