I saw that as well. Immediately, I thought, “Wow, the new layout is finished already?” And while I was looking forward to it, I was afraid I’d lose the recent PM I sent myself.
I can’t wait to see the new look. A bit of change is always nice, and I know Q will do a fantastic job.
That won’t happen.
At worst qu will close the forum and backup the database, at best she will be able to switch the styles without even haven’t to turn off the forum at all.

yup, no pm’s etc will be lost. I’ll close the forum for a short while and backup the database since i’ll need to add some database changes as well. But it should be very quick.
yes, consider the favicon a tiny sneak preview of what is to come.

What did the old favicon look like? I’m afraid I don’t see the difference. It looks like this: in my address bar.
that is the old one.
ld4all.com/favicon.ico

Well, I am colorblind, but not that much…
Maybe it hasn’t changed for me yet, for some reason.
it DID take a while to change for me
or maybe you ARE that colorblind
psst… your avatar is black and white btw…
Interesting… I wonder how it will look!!
The current layout is awesome so I wonder how good this next one must be!!!
Just a facelift or phpbb 3?

facelift
well… body lift and liposuction and some heavy cosmetic surgery
also new mods and functionality added. Some will be hardly noticable but they make things run more smoothly

I dont know if its too late or not to mention this… but i think that a search feature in the memberlist part of the site would be a great addition.
rather than having to click next page 100 times to get to the part that you are looking for.
anyway just thought id bring it up.
and i think that even if the Favicon (new to my vocab) is the only thing that is changed about the site, then the new vamp looks great! lol
