I'm just trying to figure it all out as well. It looks the same, just different, if that makes sense. I like the change though.
FYI - I'm still getting the "temporarily down" message when trying to log in from Chrome on my desktop. Cleared cache and cookies and still get the error. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Looks good! I will say I have never been a fan of forums with white backgrounds but it'll just take some time getting used to it.
Look at the top bar, click "What's New" next to "Free Gear". I actually like this better since it shows everything, even if you log on, then come back later. It doesn't just show the last updated threads.
It's a little more noticeable now if someone walks in my office and I have it up...but it'll work. Guess the answer to that is I should actually be working!
