    Default Temporary new look

    I am about to put up a TEMPORARY new "style" for the board, intended just for this holiday season. Our own little way of celebrating Christmas amongst friends in the community.

    Since no feedback went into this change, I will follow feedback very quickly. Putting a vote up whether to keep it until Jan 1st or not...

    yup

    I'm glad the feedback is positive thus far.

    Also, keep in mind, you might find some differences in functionality. "Hacks" as they are called, or slight additions to the board, might only be applied to a particular "style". If there's a MUST HAVE missing, I can likely install for this style, otherwise a few weeks without something isn't so bad.

    Almost forgot... If the majority choose to use this for the remainder of December, and you truly refuse to use it - scroll down to the lower left of the board (all the way at the bottom), use the style chooser and choose "DP Custom" and that will revert you back to the default style.

    It is really pretty cool that you give the membership some input into the decision.

    If it wasn't for the community as a whole, and it was just me, this would be a blog instead of a forum. It would also likely suck badly if it were just me! And so long as the community itself is what keeps this place going, it's only fair that those who use the board the most get a chance to form what they see when they come here. If it were solely up to me, and I was greedy and wanted the place to have MY feel, it would be graphically fitted with Steelers colors and pictures, and of course many, many boobies.

    Shows up for me - on the top navigation bar, between the calendar and search options.

    I like it. It's a nice surprise.
    If we were as industrious to become good as to make ourselves great, we should become really great by being good, and the number of valuable men would be much increased; but it is a grand mistake to think of being great without goodness; and i pronounce it as certain that there was never yet a truly great man that was not at the same time truly virtuous." - Ben Franklin

    I do like it, but I can't manages without the '12 new posts' bit at the top right, so I'll be going old style,
    If you also agree that an animals suffering should be avoided rather than encouraged, consider what steps you can take.

    A bit of a surprise. I thought I got redirected or something at first. I like it. Gives Jim time to play with the board and tweak things
