    Nope. This isn't happening. It's not. Same ol' forum. GAAAAAAAAH!!! HOW COULD THEY DO THIS TO US?! AFTER ALL THE TIME WE'VE SPENT TOGETHER?! Hey, why not give us an option? Liiiiike all those who want the old forum scheme can go there and those that want the new arc-y theme go there? ...Wait that's impossible. It's gone now. No going back. What am I going to do with my life now? ...Ya know, actually, this ain't so bad. I like it... nice silver color scheme- and hey, silver is my favorite color! I think we're gonna do aaaalright!

    It was 369 days ago that I asked TT about when we'd be getting that promised forum upgrade and not once in that time was any sort of was any sort of update given. I'm really REALLY hoping this is one of the first steps towards getting the long overdue upgrade we need.

    I dont mind the colors (apart from having to change my sig background.. again.. but man does it need to visual clues to the fact its CO. the fadey background image of MC is barely visible, CO Logo (when not hidden) is not very apparent. plus - why has STO retained it's look. PWI at least looks nice in its new flavour.
    plus - communication? where was it?

    I personally don't like the new look, older look was better and made it at least SEEM a bit more lively. The white text with the dark blue background just seem so boring, they might as well made it pitch black... if anything they should just revert it IMO.

    Actually, you'd be quite surprised how much the look can affect the tenor of a place. The "feel" of it, if you will. One place I go once switched from yellow to this ice blue and I could swear I actually felt cold visiting it like that.

    One suggestion I had emailed to the Arc feedback email was to give us alternate skins to choose from. Hope they bite on that idea.

    That said, at least it's just the cosmetic look of the forums and not a software change like last time.

    This is a bug that hit some of our people as well, we're working to get it resolved. In no way, shape or form do we want to be displaying Facebook stuff without people opting in.

    It's a process, first step is to use antiquated software to make antiquated forums that lack basic features of most modern forums, the second step is to make it ugly to look upon, and we will have to see what terrible design choices they make after this point.
