The status of posters is missing as well i.e Super Legend to Recruit all MIA.

Too Much White on my 37" Display!

Don't want to adjust BRIGHTNESS every time for a single site.

OK, just ignore all that for now. It didn't even fix the problem we were having anyway. I will try to modify this style to fix our issues.

Also seemed that different browsers were not handling it correctly. So that's cool.

I use MacRumors Forums alot and they just went through a change as well.

What I notice is you do not have a Full Fluid HD display so the pages don't cover width of page.

MacRumors has an option on the bottom of their front page to specify format.

Check out the bottom of the page at MacRumors and see options at bottom to adjust display:

Mobile Version | Fixed | Fluid | Fluid HD

Yeah, yeah, we know, we know, the UT site looks much better and has never been corrupted in the last 20 years.

Mods, thanks for all of the hard work. I appreciate all of your efforts on this.

OK, here's the deal. We've been getting slammed with a ton of spam registrations lately and the skin we are using for this forum is pretty old and doesn't support the latest and greatest anti-spam measures implemented in the board software. I'm trying to upgrade the style to take advantage of that stuff but it does look pretty bad right now. So here is what I am going to do:

- Everyone is set to the old style right now (Saphic). If you are comfortable with that, you can leave it on.
- If you want to try out the new style (we_clearblue) while I work on it, you can change it in User Control Panel > Board Preferences > My board style.
- If you are not logged in you will be using the new style. This is for the anti-spam features on user registration.

I would appreciate any criticism on the new style. I do agree that it is too bright, there are things wrong in the layout and we need links on the top.

The new format is totally screwed up for me in the same way as Diamond M. Everything centered and not displaying correctly, and huge lines of quotation marks everywhere. Also a huge line of the "online" symbol.

I have same issues. I need a magnifying glass to read the comments.
