I agree loco, but I don't consider someone in their twenties a kid. I was referring to someone who is 12-13-14... and I'm also not saying that there is anything wrong with being a kid. I'm just saying that the skin that they're using has a 'kids fingerprints' all over it, for lack of a better term. That's not necessarily a bad thing if they want to attract a much younger crowd, but for the rest of us the site just doesn't 'look' very professional. I guess I'm just disappointed because I feel they could do so much more with the site, but I'll be the first to admit that they're free to do whatever they want with their site, be it good or bad ;)

I'm sure everyone is well aware of your personal dislike/vendetta towards the site.

Would I have made so many contributions to vbulletin.org if I had a vendetta paul.

You as a person killed that.

It certainly doesn't look professional, but then maybe they want to focus on the teenager market, in which case they're off to a good start. Those were my first honest reactions to the changes made. It wasn't until I checked the URL that I realized it was still vb.org and they had changed the skin. Sometimes new however is not always better. I think this has to do more with Jelsofts lack of initiative than .orgs though. Just my $0.02. ;)

Well, as you say, it's you $0.02 and we don't expect everyone to like it, people don't like change, everyone has their own tastes (indeed not everyone liked the old styles - I hated the smooth blue and dark blue).

Yeah I agree. Another thing that I don't like about it is that it's blue. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE the color blue, but you see it on almost every site these days, including this one, and it's a 'safe' color that's being way over used

Well I like it
in fact, I think it would go over well if the style was released to dl with the other style ;)

props to them.

You can change the colour scheme through the UCP but it's still the same design.

looks pretty good to me, I particularly like the quick search all/mods/articles/graphics .. has made navigation of the site easier for what I use it for..
