I have to say, I prefer the current version, because it's not hard on the eyes, all the new forums, have flashy and vivid colours, for me, I like this. Plain and simple.
I like it, could you do it so you can have a choice between that theme and this current one? For the people who like the classic (Me personally i like the new one)
It's good, but the gradient for the forumbar should be changed to look a bit more professional (brushes etc and not just a gradient) + the font could just be changed easily to a great-looking font. Other than that, it's perfect.
I'm not too fond of the things that seperate the forums... headers or subheaders (been a long time since i did any designing with forums lol)... They seem too common, I see stuff like that all over.
ii really like it...i hope we can change it to something like runehq where you can change the skin color too...but im worried that putting that on will make the whole site laggy and i would not like that :/
